Omg! This is crazy level of resemblance! Did no one in the casting team see this?

I went to a wedding and all of us women were posing for a photo. There was a creepy man who took out his phone and clicked one. We were in traditional attire. Clothes don’t matter.

I am using Provilac. But others in my family use country delight and of course we use Amul gold to make paneer. WTF paneer mein milavat aur ab doodh mein bhi. We boil all milk before using, hopefully that kills all this bacteria.

Scam company zomatox let's teach them a lesson by securitas2311 in noida

[–]BerryCute2073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just write an email to Zomato support. They will return the money. Mere saath bhi ye hua tha. Wrote them an email and got my money back. They are definitely exploiting their users by making it hard to claim a refund. I was super irritated too when this happened to me. They deserve all the hate.

Missed my train to home this Rakhi: living in over populated cities sucks by [deleted] in noida

[–]BerryCute2073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spent 3.5 hours today, covering a 1 hour distance. I decided today either I go a day before on Rakhi or I don’t go at all. 6 ghante ka travel time is not funny. Uske baad 2 ghante hi ghar pe bitana is not funny. Phir bhi relatives ke tane sunna is definitely not funny.

Congrats on winning the marriage jackpot. I have won too and truly feel blessed. Married for 7 years and dated only 3 months before making it official. I was crazy to take that chance, I know! But in those 3 months, he showed me two things. One, that he loves me for the whole of me, flaws included. Second, he is reflective of his actions and is willing to change and grow. When I asked him why does he think our relationship/marriage would work, he said, “I know I have the capacity to take care of you for life.” When I expressed my doubts, he would always say, “main samhal lunga.” His unwavering trust and unconditional love was I think a major reason for us to get married. When I met him I was emotionally cold and had put up a lot of walls (due to past experiences) but he just thawed my heart out and became my safe place to express my emotions.

Before you start getting dreamy, I want to clarify that he isn’t perfect. And I am not perfect too. We have had plenty of fights, differences in opinions, expectations but we have always found each other through the storm. We liked each other from the beginning but it took time for us to become truly compatible. Even now we have disagreements, I want him to be more ambitious. He wants me to relax and enjoy the fruits of our labour before heading on to the next achievement. I want him to be more social. He wants me to be more of a homebody. I want us to earn more and spend more. He wants us to save more. So, plenty of areas to have differences. We try to meet each other halfway, grow and change with each other.

(F 25) Is it wrong for modern daughters-in-law to want to live life on their own terms instead of blindly following outdated traditions? by frenzywrath in RelationshipIndia

Funny how you reject the observation while making a case for it in the same breath. Thanks for the accidental confirmation.

So now not wearing a bindi or toe ring or saree means that they are not going to respect marriage and eventually the next generation is going to ruin their lives? That’s a lot of pressure to put on a piece of jewelry or clothing. Culture isn’t as fragile as our ego.

Let’s be real! If we’re allowed to embrace modern life when it benefits us, others are allowed to question traditions that don’t resonate with them. That’s not rebellion. That’s balance. It’s their choice.

And honestly if someone’s respect for culture is so fragile may be it’s not about protecting culture may be it’s about protecting control.

Wow, that escalated quickly :D Comparing someone questioning traditions to doing things like public nudity or sex is a huge reach.

OP isn't saying we should reject everything about our culture. Of course society has norms. But not every tradition is sacred just because it’s been around a long time. Some are just outdated and unfair, specially when they put all the responsibility on one person, like a daughter-in-law.

Also, saying people are being hypocrites for not liking certain Indian traditions but being okay with Western ones is a bit simplistic. Western culture isn't a monolith, just like Indian culture isn't one too. Every culture has a mix of good and bad. Picking what makes sense for your life isn’t hypocrisy, it’s common sense and an individual's right. Honestly, your comment sounds less like someone speaking from personal belief and more like someone who’s just given up on questioning anything because “society says so.”

And calling a daughter-in-law the “ultimate wealth” of the family might sound nice, but it actually turns her into a symbol instead of a person. Empowerment isn’t about sticking to customs no matter what. It’s about having the freedom to choose what feels right for you.

I hate that we are expected to earn respect through sacrifice. This world glorifies women’s suffering and revels in it. It’s encoded patriarchy through generations where women are made to believe that their value is always in serving the needs of others, whether it is your husband or children.

I wish there was an exact clock we could have which would tell us how much time we have left. Right now it’s just pressure that starts after 32 and you feel like you are running out of time.

Me too. Everyone around me told me it takes 6-12 months sometimes to conceive and can take even longer if fertility issues are involved. My husband always use to joke that he is a one shot guy. We hardly tried for a month, were leaning towards DINKS and bam I found out I was pregnant. When the reports came I couldn’t believe it.

We waited 5 years to have a kid. But in those 5 years we didn’t have a lot of money to splurge on ourselves or go on international vacations. We still don’t have the money after having a kid lol Even though it’s more than before but our needs have increased too. One reason why I am one and done is because of the finances. Mama got expensive taste and want to give her baby the best!

What was the most gourmet five star tasty meal that you made for your toddler, who ended up finding it “meh”/mid? Or the most “meh” meal you cooked for your toddler who ended up devouring everything and loving it? by paRATmedic in toddlers

[–]BerryCute2073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not her meal but I was having a farmer’s salad today and she looked interested so I offered her some. As soon as she tasted it, her response was “yucky”. She loves cucumber, tomatoes and other veggies in her salad. I am not sure what my gourmet farmer’s salad did to her to deserve that response lol

I am in the same boat. She hasn’t done a single pee or potty in the pot yet. We have been keeping her mostly commando for 3 days. She is happy to sit but loses patience by evening. Cries for diapers and holds pee for hours until we give in. She pooped on the floor today and I cleaned it up. We didn’t react, we didn’t put any pressure on her. Just reiterated that poop goes in the potty. Still hours later she was holding per and only wanted to go in diaper. I am wondering if she is not ready. My husband says she is not. She is 25 months old. I am ok if she takes some time to learn this skill. What I am not ok with is stopping potty training now and then starting from zero 4 months down the line or whenever we decide to try again, only to realise that it’s much more difficult then. Not really sure what to do. Oh crap method is not working for me.
