Nice post...I can understand as my elder and only sister went thru all those hardships.But it was completely different with me.I got married at the age of 23 and its been 8 yrs now.We have a daughter.Before marriage my father clearly told my in laws that i dont know cooking n all ,we r kayasthas from different faith where we dont fast ,dont touch feet,dont even know about karwa chauth ...list is quite long. And my in laws never had any problem with all that.I got married within 5 days...got engaged on 6th ,married publicly on 11th...mine was an arranged marriage...marriage se pehle maine apne wud be ko dekha tha ,baat nahi ki thi...My in laws never impose their traditions on me...it was my decision to learn cooking,fasting,touching feet of elders.Even today, i use to call my MIL ki mujhe KC ke fast ka tareeka batao...main har saal bhool jati hun...According to me ,trust matters the most,saath raho yaa alag...give n take ke bina koi relationship nahi chal sakti...door rah ke bhi shaadiyan tooti hain...after only 2 months of my marriage ,my mother passed away...but my in laws r very supportive...my mil is the sweetest...my sil treats me like her own daughter...i m the youngest in my inlaws family .jab mujhe girl child hui, my in laws pagal se ho gaye...they were celebrating ,sweets baant rahe the ...pooja ,hawan pata nahi kya kya...actually humari family mein girl 21 years baad hui thi.That's the reason,main saas bahu drama nahi jhel sakti...jab mere saath aisa hua hi nahi to main kyon yeh rubbish dekhu...this is my side of story...
