My affections for this ardent and speeding tale always find a mixed ground. Most authors find success by showing what it is rather than what it should be.

Mostly what it should be is in our heads. People mock when one says that a girl, if working doesn't have to cook, clean and cry. People mocked when VA Shiva Ayyadurai said that you can send a virtual message to people across globe using electronic mail.

Mock me.

Really? So a working girl has to work on the conditions that she still has to cook and clean?

I am not referring to this story in any way other than this because I haven't read it. I have had the pleasure of narrations, though. The author 'shows' truth. But women like Amma need a reality check. Pleasuring husband and the in-laws, not meeting your parents unless the people who own you now grant the permission, becoming pregnant because people want you to, husband regulating wife's money. All of this is true and NOT NECESSARILY in II's regard but in every other girl from a conservative background.

No I am not another freak who is obsessed with Deepika's "My Choice". I don't really support that either.

What I am saying is that II doesn't have to cook so she has a demo experience of her post-marriage reality. She can cook to help her mother. Appa can cook lemon rice. I am referring to all examples from the story, I hold no grudges against the story, I am happy to have been educated of all other stuff that I didn't already know of.

BEING A WOMAN DOESNT TRADEMARK YOU TO BE A HOUSEWIFE AS WELL.

And thats why they don't use the word HOUSEWIFE anymore. Its HOMEMAKER.

Nor is taking your in-laws shit a trademark. II's sister reminds me of that. As a pregnant woman too if you are supposed to be working, I wonder how far the limits go.

I am a firm believer of shared responsibilities and equal importance to both parents.

I see girls saying "Why to keep a job if homely duties will always follow as ghosts?"

Not all are perfect or lucky like II to nurture both or be granted leave out of it.

You can opt out of it.

If a wife works and does the home jobs too, its her choice, not her duty. What other life-ly pleasures does she hold when all her time is consumed in feeding her good-for-nothing husband; having sex and making his kids sleep? Woah!

I am a columnist. I came on IF to sit back and relax but well this stirred my wit so here I am.


Hey Belly Button,

Welcome to the story page. This is a figment of my imagination, I am not approving or dismissing any behavior. I am neither mandating standards for how a PERFECT inter caste, inter cultural marriage should be. This is not a documentary on "perfect marriage between Iyer girl and wealthy Punjabi boy".

ALL Iyer mothers expect their daughters to cook after marriage (the ones I have met or know of)
II has cooked a million times to help her mother pre marriage. She has cooked at her Akka's place to help her out as well.

ALL the girls parents that have sasural and mayka in the same city that I KNOW OF expect their daughters to "inform/seek permission/request" before going to visit her parents.Its the polite thing to do.
For some it may be "ancient/unacceptable/ backwards" etc I am no feminist so I wont bother to waste my resources or energy in changing that. Most of my female gora friends at work say "their husbands dont lift a finger at home" they are "bums that sit on the couch all day and watch sports"
"Equal partnership, shared responsibilities" etc sound great on social media Forums and books (Sheryl Sandberg) and movies, real life is often skewed 😆
I bet there are billions of marriages like your ideal, but the ones in my tale arent it😛

If any girl wants to go see her parents living in the same city without uttering a word to her in laws more power to her👏

I dont think I ever said "its a trademark" Nope!!! I am sorry if you derived the impression. I am a nobody that authors this tale for 50 vocal and a few thousand silent readers😆 the size of this sample is too small😆

Yes I agree to everything to you say, II should have a choice and Akka should have a choice and etc etc etc. Marriages should be "shared and equal"👏I have closely observed hundreds of Delhi based Iyer families and Punjabi families AND MY OWN (Iyer) and this tale is a product of that. Almost EVERYONE exists or has existed in my real life. I just gave them my lines😃

99% of the time perfect situations do not make a gripping story, or let me back up, I bet there are millions of authors that are able to write a tale where the female lead has all the "21st century freedoms" and yet is able to make the tale riveting.

Unfortunately this is the best I can do

I am hoping the "story" doesnt "stir your wit" and some of our " offline conversations do"😃

Welcome again

Oh ! I absolutely loved the title. Twice now, the dude has used his good books and has pulled strings to make things comfortable for the people he cares about. He did it for vandu and now for his wife. I choose to conveniently ignore the one time he did it for his cousins wife a wannabe starlet, that came to my mind only cos, it left his wife thap thaping in the bathroom, fuming.
But I really like the subtle way he goes abt doing that.

Along with love, Care at appropriate times in whatever form, is what makes marraiges work is my strong belief .. I believe in that 100%.

Ranjanji has made his presence and is smiling too, me liking it.

I am sure of one thing, while dude and II will take time to work their distances between them, he will be there for her when she needs him the most to hold her and then may be the distances wouldn't matter .

Hey girls, hope everyone is doing as well as they can. Its a weekend... and it might be tougher for some like me... since she would be online more. Readying for dates or telling us about a visit to her parents
Our pain and suffering is minuscule compared to her parents, I am telling myself that since yesterday evening. No, doesnt make me happy but makes me realize what I am dealing with.

I cannot melodramatically declare I am going to pursue a hobby or take walks in a garden to forget her. I dont want to forget her, and I already have a hobby. A year from now its still going to hurt...

SR hope u are doing better... take good care of urself, this is a lesson for each one of us to notice things about the people we love and ourselves

A big hug and hello to all
