Kalpana, too funny an article. But some of it still applies to India. We can hate it as much as we want but in joint families of today even in cities like Gurgaon living in a posh high rise DILs have certain "duties"

I'm not home yet, so don't hv to be afraid . This guy and his sexy one liners. She has got to be a lady Buddha in a state of Nirvana to be not unsettled by this. It's set her on the edge with the anticipation of the inevitable. Forget bottling up the dry mangoes , She might even offer to learn the nine yards this same night , just about anything is welcome to delay entering the lair 😆

Married life is a little rocky for the first few years. Hopefully things would settle down soon Ashu ! 🤗

True Jas. Arranged or love initial years of marriage are rocky. You need to be strong for the roller coaster ride

My personal opinion is "go with the flow" things will relax eventually

I dont have the courage by nature to rebel and start a giant war and separate for good and having to live with the guilt that I caused my husband to be estranged from his mother because I am so "modern"

I couldnt live with myself if I did that, my conscience will not let me.

For some... yes, appearing modern and independent and liberal and being an equal to the husband is an overarching need and desire thats more important than having oxygen.

Nisha u r online. Will v be lucky to get an Early morning update 😛

It was just too hilarious an article. I mean if it gets the husbands all jumpy and embarrassed in a spot of bother, one sees the funny side of it right 😆 . And yes I do agree Nisha, that certain expectations have a base , a few reasonable and a few not so reasonable. Few duties , one has to do irrespective of the House. But in most families, one doesn't live in a dungeon hole all the time. Times have changed to let things ease up with people and their changing equations and situations. If it makes sense that one tries to see also some positives amidst the negativity, just give it a chance and stick it out. There are always reasons to make it work or not to make it work and let it go. One has just got to a have a convincing reason to do either.

My parents friend's daughter an Iyengar girl blessed with a Caucasian complexion in a country thats more racist than America married a man her parents chose, a simple geeky bespectacled dusky skinny Bangalore techie.

😆 Oh my gaaawwwddd (this deserves a Janice omg (Friends- Chandlers annoying GF) !
Same here ... Total fun dissecting this post !

You know what the hilarious part for me was. My only standard instruction for my husband every night is turn the dishwasher on. He eats a late dinner. So. Mind you not load up, since I do that as it gets annoying to see dishes piled up, just a basic instruction to TURN IT ON FOR SANITY SAKES. 😆 . He does it as well. It was just a coincidence that for two nights in a row he was too preoccupied that he put the tab but did not hit start. So the third continuous morning I got annoyed at the inconvenience and greeted him with a very good morning to him when he got up. 😆 Half an later , my cousin comes up with this post. Then began the field day. Hubs commented' this husband's economics and the home economics this morning are in disarray thanks to the dishwasher'. 😆 That was it. We ended up having a good laugh seeing the funny side of our kitchen situation that Mrng

I am sorry your parents had to compensate the groom's family for marrying you. That does not make me happy one bit. Last year I met a young couple whose Dad is a SHO and he paid Rs. 5 CRORES to her husband's family.

Enn Appava poratti potaa kooda avlav kaasu varadu😆 U could hold my Dad upside down and u could not find that kind of money in him.

I am sure you will work things out. They say "Dowry will end when people stop paying"

I dont know why your parents agreed or why you agreed, but if it had resulted in a blissful marriage I am sure no one would even be mentioning it today.

I wish your husband had put his foot down and refused.

The girl I met last year actually competed with her sister and made sure her Dad paid MORE for her groom compared to her sister because she said "My darling is worth more Daddy should realize that"

I was rendered speechless, it didnt seem like its 2017. Thats why I told Kalpana before we mock ridicule and dismiss articles from 1950s we must realize 50% of India still thinks that way

Ashu I am very sorry to hear that. I have never asked you, but did you work outside home before marriage? Do you now?
