You can see sadness dripping on my face from the picture. This story happened when my mom's brother got married. Let's get into detail about this. 5 days before the wedding, we went for shopping. I picked up a pretty dress and bought shoes which were pink in color with white stones and I loved it. A day before the wedding there was a small function and certain rituals and I had shoulder-length hair which looked cute on me. The very next day we had to reach the venue by 11am. Mom was busy and stayed at Grandma's place. I stayed with dad in our house and he took me to a barbers shop who cut my hair into what u see in the picture. As soon as I reached the wedding hall, everyone started saying your daughter had pretty hair why did u chop it off and that made me very sad. I ignored it as I was happy in my outfit and went to play with the kids in the wedding hall. I removed my shoes and hid it under a small table covered with a table cloth so that it remains safe. Then I played for an hour. It was time for family pictures. Mom called me and I told I'll wear my shoes and come.

As u guessed they went missing. I searched everywhere in the hall asked everyone but nobody saw it. Obviously, someone took it. I was so sad and refused to take a family photo and went to the corridor. As u know my sister followed me who was quite happy and made fun of me. That is when the photographer saw me and said "You and your sister wore twin dresses so let me take a picture". I refused but he forced us to give a pose. I was not in the mood and he took that picture. That's the end. Everyone laughed at me. My parents dint scold because I was already upset. The shoes are still missing.

If anybody finds them let me know

Importance of having your own space

This is a taboo topic in India. I stayed with my parents till 12th grade. Then I moved to college for the next 4 years. Even while I was in college I wasn't practically alone because I had room mates and the same thing happened after I joined work as I stayed in working women's hostel. Then covid happened and I got married during covid and moved to his parents place. Our own space there was our room. Then 10 months later we shifted to Bangalore for study and work reasons and it was the first time in my life that I got an entire space to myself. My husband got his own space inside his college (A single room). While I stayed with my parents my job was to just take care of myself, eat and study. When I moved to hostel I had to tackle my laundry as well. Same happened in working women's hostel but extra responsibility was to pay my rent, tackle my finances and travel. Cooking became an extra part of our schedules wherein we make dishes occasionally. Each and every step of this ...

Assumptions about married women

That's me. And I prefer doing whatever I like be it going on trips or hitting the gym or doing my office work or cooking. 1.  Cooking  -  Assumption that women must cook despite having busy careers. Dont get me wrong. Infact, I love trying out new dishes occasionally. But the phone call I had received from my relative the other day made me question this. They were constantly interested in what Im cooking or if I learnt to cook the dal gravy. I faced a similar incident at the gym. Our trainer asked me to cook more protein rich food for my husband and feed him regularly. Though meant in a humorous way, the underlying meaning kind of made me feel sad. The fact that nobody would say this to a husband made me question. Cooking is a life skill. It is a choice. We can always hire someone. We might develop interest in cooking once we start living on our own. We must also stop judging someone for their food choices. When I say I make protein pancakes or wheat semiya or masala oats...

Clothing lessons I learnt💃

Growing up my parents used to buy clothing only 3-4 times a year mainly during festive seasons or sometimes when they needed any piece of clothing. They dint have television nor internet so they as consumers had the freedom to decide and mindfully buy the stuff they need only when they need it unlike our generation. Here we turn our tv on or any social media platform it bombards us with lot of products which dint exist in the previous era and we are tricked into believe that these are essentials. There is some sale or offer going on every other day on the online shopping platforms. We have piled up our closets with skin care, hair care products, slippers, clothes, bags, home essentials etc.. Im also guilty of piling my closet up. So here are the clothing lessons I learnt:  1. Don't buy a new skin care or hair care product unless the previous one is over. 2. Invest in quality over quantity. Im not that kind of person who looks into brands while I purchase stuff. If something feels...
