Hey nitzy,
What a thought provoking post !!!!👏

I seriously don't understand why people always look at a guy and a girl as if they did something wrong even if they are just friends and all...I agree things have changed to some extent and people are more open to such things these days but still somewhere these things are still not accepted by many people. Even if a girl has not done anything wrong the society blacklists her and her parents are taunted and all.....while a guy can easily get away with anything he wants. And also if they are upto something I think its their personal matter and society should not have a say in that.....I mean what are the parents and family for....they are the ones who give proper guidance.....the others just want some spicy stuff to gossip about. People should learn to live and let live.

I would like to add something to my previous post. 3 years after my divorce I got married again which was arranged. But that also ended in divorce just recently(I've had the bad luck of getting married to men who deceived and used me and my family). My family supported me a second time but imagine what people think of me now. They only see me as a twice divorced single mum! Not a human with feelings.
Because of my situation no one wants to become my friend and they avoid me like the plague. In their eyes I have no honour left.

Great topic Nitz👏👏

After reading yesterday's update and watching the promo the question that ran in my mind was have we as society really changed. We say India is progressing, we are ahead in this that but has our way of thinking as a society actually changed?

A girl and a boy if are good friends and often seen together the news about something brewing between them spreads like fire. People are more interested to see what is happening in other's house rather than their own. A women has to go through much more than a man. If a man and a women spend night together means something definitely has to happen between them. You will see girl/women getting teased, raped, beaten and people around stand there and watch all this. Many of them don't interrupt thinking who will get into the trouble.

If a girl's engagement/marriage is broken family thinks who will marry/re-marry her while society would say there will be something wrong the girl did bcoz of which this happened and how the entire family has to suffer bcoz of her deeds. We can't forget whenever a relationship breaks it is the girl who has to suffer the most. Even if boy is wrong all the blame comes on the girl.

If a husband cheats on his wife some sympathize with her while some say there would be some "kami" in the girl that her husband did this. If a guy has an affair he will not be questioned but if same mistake is committed by a girl she is reminded of how she has crossed her "maryada" Why these double standards?

Even today a newborn girl is killed thinking she would ruin the family's honour once she grows up.
Honour killing in the name of family respect and reputation getting tarnished is nothing new.

Coming to present scenario, Riddhima honour is at stake. As a father Shashnak is thinking what is future of her daughter. People won't look at her the same way they use to earlier after whatever happened. What can be done to save her honour get her married to Sid so that noone can point fingers at her and he can shut everyone's mouth. In all this process he is forgetting what will happen to lives of Siddhant and Riddhima after this. Two people Riddhima who hates Sid and Sid who finds himself responsible for whatever happened getting married. What will their future be?

Sadly they are not being asked about their decision. They will have to do what is being told to them as they would be reminded what people (society) will say, they have to live in a society and live according to society's terms and conditions and not their own.

awesome post nitzie di!..thats so true..

the society takes everything in the wrong sense..they wont even beleive the people who actually have been through the incident or supposed 'crime'.
they make assumptions which is their biggest fault...n its not necessary that they'll lie..if they really wanted to do it...they would've been talking of their realtionship..
n Riddhima is at fault too..what was the need for announcing it?...she could have told Shanky when they were alone too..i know she was frustrated but she was seriously over-reacting..i felt bad for Sid there, he saved her n THIS is what he gets!..even she makes it appear as a crime..she misunderstood it, thats why she's actin this way but atleast listen to him!..she's not even ready for that n now she feels she cant trust him..hello!..he was the one who got pierced in his chest for YOU!.
n its always blamed on the girl..i hate such stereotypical thoughts..n SidMa marrying at this point will destroy both their lives for sure..n Shanky thinks it has to be done..ugh..

17 pages and still going strong!! Whew! that was a phenomenal post and u don't need my acquiscence for that Poco!
Anyway, yes, our society is still super orthodox when it comes to Boy- Girl alone in the woods situation!! Seriously, I mean since people are a lot more educated nowadays AND not to mention kinda adoptive of newer stuff (western influence), why can't they just mind their own businesses instead of wasting their time speculationg about other people's lives. Thoughts like
- Uski shaadi toot gayee, ab usse kaun shaadi karega?

- She has had three affairs. Which decent man will marry her?

- You have to retain family honour. Don't tell your husband about your past love life!
😡

disgust me and make me want to give people a piece of my mind!!!
Also, considering that marriage nowadays is not when a guy meets a girl for the first time - compatibility , if not love at first, ,matter a lot!! How can a modern, educated class of people ignore that. Also, honour is not something that needs to be advertised. It is like a diamond whose shine never fades away, so why are people so messed up about it???

Hey Pri!

Thanks for replying. 🤗

I so agree with the highlighted portion. I mean , whatever a man or a woman do - it is nobody's business but the keepers of the society see it as their fundamental right to set up scanners for giving marks to a woman's characters . And sadly enough , sometimes families , being apart of the society are forced to do the same to the women of the house. Damn the structure we live in.

but still i say that at end it

great post nitica,,,,,something different from u :) !!!!!

sri:-)



Hey Sri!

Always a pleasure to hear from you , darls. 😳 You are bang on. We cannot ignore society because we are a part of it and that is why we have to take the bad with the good. Nothing much is going to change for women and their character certificates in near future - but women do speak up and fight back - and the ones who do help other women find their voices too.

"Something different from me?" In short , tum mujhe naalayak bula rahi ho? Aao tumhaari dhulaai karoon!😆

Great topic Nitz👏👏............Fruity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kahaan thi tum ? Kahaan thi tum?

Fruity , that is the pathetic condition of our society where everyone lives a cocooned life - careless and insensitive towards people when help is needed but the first ones to gossip, bitch and poke when the same people are on hard times.


If a girl's engagement/marriage is broken family thinks who will marry/re-marry her while society would say there will be something wrong the girl did bcoz of which this happened and how the entire family has to suffer bcoz of her deeds. We can't forget whenever a relationship breaks it is the girl who has to suffer the most. Even if boy is wrong all the blame comes on the girl.


Agreed. In our society , every single damn thing that goes wrong in a relationship is because of a woman. A man is washed in dettol since birth.

If a husband cheats on his wife some sympathize with her while some say there would be some "kami" in the girl that her husband did this. If a guy has an affair he will not be questioned but if same mistake is committed by a girl she is reminded of how she has crossed her "maryada" Why these double standards?

Because women are supposed to be these FORGIVING PRISTINE SAINTS who cannot go wrong but they must forgive every wrong. Even controlling a man's carnal instincts is a woman's responsibility. Can you believe that? 😡


Even today a newborn girl is killed thinking she would ruin the family's honour once she grows up.
Honour killing in the name of family respect and reputation getting tarnished is nothing new.

That makes me fill up with disgust and sardonic humour..... every man is borne of a woman but a woman must not be born? 😕

Coming to present scenario, Riddhima honour is at stake. As a father Shashnak is thinking what is future of her daughter. People won't look at her the same way they use to earlier after whatever happened. What can be done to save her honour get her married to Sid so that noone can point fingers at her and he can shut everyone's mouth. In all this process he is forgetting what will happen to lives of Siddhant and Riddhima after this. Two people Riddhima who hates Sid and Sid who finds himself responsible for whatever happened getting married. What will their future be?

That is the whole issue. Sid and Riddhima will end up being victims of this society - just to cover Riddhima's honour , all hell will break loose in their lives. How far and how much can Sid handle Riddhima , I have no idea.

Sadly they are not being asked about their decision. They will have to do what is being told to them as they would be reminded what people (society) will say, they have to live in a society and live according to society's terms and conditions and not their own.

A truth that I have a grudge against.
