Jo Bhi Denge..Tumhe Denge..Hame Kuch Nahi Chahiye!!

Anuradha and Vikas loved each other very much. They’ve been together for 4 years now. They wanted to get married. The families were not ready because of the caste issue, but after much cajoling, they gave in. Both sides were not very happy, but they agreed for their children's happiness. Anuradha's father was a clerk, while Vikas's father was a businessman. Vikas had wedding offers coming in from rich families. He was good looking, MBA; had a good job in a multinational company and had a wealthy family background; all that was enough to make him the most eligible bachelor. His mother never liked Anuradha, although she too was beautiful, held an MBA degree and a good job in a multinational company, and she was smart and independent; all that was enough to be disliked by the families who preferred housewives. Vikas's family wanted a lavish wedding, just the way they married their daughter, a year back. They had a big fat wedding for their daughter and wanted a similar one for their son, whereas Anuradha wanted a simple affair.

It's time both men and women divide this mental load, and have a happy ending!

“Can You Afford Your Wife’s Expenses?:” Indian Society’s Frustrating Idea Of A Good Husband

India’s respectable cultural tradition of revering elders has several shortcomings. The most personal way in which Indians experience this is when it comes to marriage. Indians, both men and women, lack agency when it comes to making the most important decision of their life.

I have nothing against marriage (arranged or otherwise). Indeed, marriage and the scripted Indian life provide a degree of stability to an otherwise chaotic country. But often, men are forced to accept stable, high-paying professions that they are not passionate about, such as medicine, engineering, finance and consulting, because of the job security and social status that they provide.
