Browned off by Society

This week we discuss everything related to privacy in a desi society. We complain about nosy aunties and uncles as well as share our experiences. We talk a little about how personal space and privacy are intertwined and why it may not be such a bad thing after all.

In this episode, we discuss the "ideal bahu/ daughter in law" and the way girls even today are brought/ trained to meet the "ideal bahu" standards. We also discuss the way a new bride is treated and what is expected out of her once, she moves to her husbands' house.  Lastly, we talk a little about where the husbands lie in all of this.
