  • #7 Did I BUY him? - Dowry Demands & Tough Life Decisions!
    Saas Bahu and Drama! Just as he left for Vipassana and was unavailable on calls, the tables were turned. The toughest decision of her life was staring at her, his family had finally said it out loud! She was to give Dowry to get married to him. He was completely unaware and out of reach as if some bad 90s movie plot was being played out. First money, then outright dowry demands, looks like she needed to draw some boundaries as well. Will she agree to social evil like Dowry? Or will she call off the wedding?
    According to NCRB (National Crime Records Bureau) Data, 19 women were killed every day for Dowry in 2020. Dowry system prevails in India even today, often renamed as something else like "gifts for the groom's family" or "gifts for the girl" but what it really is - Harassment. Because some age-old chauvinist traditions continue in our country, it does not mean the young generation cannot put an end to it.
    We urge all the Women to speak up and poot their foot down. No is a complete sentence, say NO to Dowry. We need to raise our men right and ask them to speak up against such social evils as well. It's important we take a step to change for the better and set an example for future generations.

  • #5 Millennials and Relationship Red flags - What NOT to do in a relationship?
    As the Marriage talks escalated, things started getting chaotic. From afar it looked like a happy relationship but as you got closer you saw two people doubling over under parental expectations. Millennials hiding things from their Boomer Parents is very common. His case was no different, he never knew how to draw boundaries with his mother, and lived like Jekyll and Hyde. She was in love with her mother-in-law to be more than her boyfriend. Little did she know the moment the word "marriage" entered the picture, things were about to flip. Things did not go well when her Single Father and his Divorced Mother finally met. She had no answers when her dad asked how will she "adjust"! Will they continue with the wedding preparations, or will they succumb to the mounting challenges? How do you speak your truth when you see multiple Red flags in the relationship, the biggest being the In-laws and zero boundaries?
