Okay,currently I am in my room, checking out some new blogs and busy commenting to their respective posts.and i heard some interesting discussion coming from the living room..At the moment, they are bunch of aunties in my house and they were discussing about my brother's wedding..So the much awaited (multi billion dollar question ) finally popped out.!!!!hmmm..so wat's you gonna ask as dowry????
The world is moving very fast, people are changing their mindsets and nowadays lots of girls are getting a decent education and they are becoming independant too-less depending on guys and having full freedom of deciding their own life!!! but still... people are still asking this kind of questions..especially women (to my dismay)!!!!
but I love the way my mother answered them..she answered ''i have two boys with me but never in my life i will ask for dowry''..Hmmm..im sooo proud of her,oh yes she's someone who's still holding tight to her old beliefs but when it comes to women's right..my mother is a modern thinker..And i love her more because of that..
p.s:love you mom :) and I think my future sister in law is a very lucky girl....
p.p.s: Cant wait for the wedding :):):)
Sweet. Just hope you'll get a mother in law with a similar point of view. :)

Awww... the thought of having to give dowry or making the girl's parents pay for the wedding disgusts me so much!.. Wen 2 people are gettin married it makes more sense for both of them to share the cost..
ReplyDeleteInfact i feel the guy's side shud be paying up.. :P aren't we all leaving everything behind and stepping into a new place with new people? ;) ...
Your mom is AWESOME. And I hope you get a mother-in-law with similar perspectives.
ReplyDeleteDowry is just like begging.
People without any ego and self-esteem ask for huge dowries from the girl's family.
Its good to see people's mindsets are changing yet there are some people who are the same..and believe in all these rituals wch hold no base!
ReplyDeleteReally good to know your mom holds these values and yes, your sis-in-law is really lucky...Hope you too are :)
Take Care.
@Blasphemous Aesthete

ReplyDeletei loved your mom's answer, i just wanted to see the looks on the faces of the rest of the women present in the room.

@Guy From Karachi
Oh yeah, my mom is one of them..Okay young man, make sure you have a say when that sort of things happen to you
Mention not,take care
Supercool Mom! :D
ReplyDeleteWel its true and somewhat annoying how can a woman not understand an other woman...when she too has lived through the same circumstances...its a chain that has to be broken.
And enjoy the colorful preparations! :)
@beyond horizon
ReplyDeleteyeahhhhhhhhhh..she is totally cool
Hmmm..its so weird that often or not,women themselves become threat to their own race :/
lets break the chain
thanks for the comment :):)
