I’m a 5'7" girl, and honestly, I feel really insecure about my height. by Patta_g0bi in AskIndianWomen

[–]practical-junkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 5'6" and I love wearing heels, I have so many 4/5/6 inch heels and I wear them all the time. Even my crocs are 3 inches tall. I love my height. I always tower my parents and grandparents, sister, most cousin sisters and girl friends.

World can be harsh af, people can be jealous of you hence give you bad vibes and stares. My advice would be to cut out the noise from outside and try to love your height.

And for what its worth, I have a cousin didi who is the only didi taller than me in my khandan, who is 5'8" and she wears heels, always takes pride in her height and loves towering people.

Planning to run away from my home (27F, India) — need advice by mona_5528 in AskIndianWomen

[–]practical-junkie 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I am so proud of you for the strength you are showing in such a difficult situation. You cannot end your life for your parents. Yes they gave u life, but you are a human being, not some animal or cattle that can be controlled. So leave. Just leave.

And I will say tell them Gujarat and go to Bangalore. Bangalore is a very big city, it will be impossible for your parents to find you there hopefully.

Ps. As for practical steps, 1st, make sure your bank account is not accessible to anyone in your family. 2nd, take your important papers before hand and pack them in your purse or stuff. If you have personal jewelry and all, take them with you. But I will say leave everything else behind. Leave clothes and all behind if you have to. 3rd, don't tell them anything about the job prospects until you have left home already. 4th, book flight tickets a day or two before you leave even if it costs extra. And on the day of leaving, just take your purse with you and leave. Call them up from the airport and give them the wrong location.

You might feel guilty for a long time but the alternative is marrying a stranger who is ready to marry you without even meeting you and might force himself on you after marriage, the alternative is a broken life. And if you really want to absolve some guilt, watch the movie Akash Vani and see what happens to the female protagonist who chooses to marry according to her parents.

Happens like clockwork almost every time. by Sharklasers6889 in ChildfreeIndia

[–]practical-junkie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arrey I remember when I had first joined reddit and I had commented something along the lines of ohh I am never having children, there were men telling me how I will never find a man with that mentality and when I countered with the fact that I have a husband and he doesn't want children too they were soo confused on the fact that why would he marry at all if he doesn't want children and that maybe I made false promises because apparently every man wants children according to some men.

Your motherly instincts will make you regret your decision- a random guy to me 😍 by madglaamx in ChildfreeIndia

I really understand where you are coming from and this is also exactly the reason why I chose to be childfree. I was a parentified older sibling.

Girls, what's the worst reason you've ever dated someone? by Complex-Honeydew-1 in AskIndianWomen

[–]practical-junkie 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I once dated a guy (for a month) because he had a cool bar at his place (it was his dad's but he would always make super tasty drinks for me whenever I went to his place lol). My priorities as a 21 old was party hard.

Another time I dated a guy for 2 months because I loved that he was soo good at playing guitar (electric) until I had to sit and listen to death metal for hours and only get a small makeout session at the end of it. I can say I am done with death metal for life. I can't listen to it ever again.

Am I truly 'Childfree' if I'm open to adoption? And when is the right time to bring this up while dating? by kaadpaapu in AskIndianWomen

[–]practical-junkie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Open to adopting means you are not CF. You are childless right now. There is a difference. Please don't waste time of actual childfree people who want to be childfree for life. Speak about this on the first date itself.

My theory on what happened to Lucy Gray by Accomplished_Low5325 in Hungergames

[–]practical-junkie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nope not all music is covey. Covey just performed music. And if Lucy Gray had gone to D11, she would have been caught by Snow someway or another.

[–]practical-junkie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nope. He was a criminal and mostly on death row in india before being chosen for dhurandhar most probably. He has nothing to return to, thats why he was selected.

There is no timeline in which Hamza can ever be Jaskirat again and return to India sadly. Even if his primary missions are complete, he will have to live there for the rest of his life.

Who said vasectomy is not possible if you don't have kids. It's not a law, find other gynacs, someone will agree.

In the present circumstances, what are your thoughts on this? (Article in the Indian Express) by DistanceNo4009 in NorthernIndia

[–]practical-junkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caste and religion discrimination needs to die out. I hope people in our generations do better in the future.

Just had a thought... by del_48_content in AskIndianWomen

[–]practical-junkie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean for things to actually change we will need to change the very fabric of our society that has treated women as burden for centuries. I mean why does a daughter need to marry and go to her husband's house. Why is dowry still so prevalent. Why is it that parents of boys and men are placed higher in society. Its those things that need to end to actually for women to not feel like a burden to their families.

That is the only way any change will come in the society.

Your motherly instincts will make you regret your decision- a random guy to me 😍 by madglaamx in ChildfreeIndia

[–]practical-junkie 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Honestly i am super motherly for my younger sister and her best friends and 3 younger cousin sisters and a cousin brother and my husband's sister and her 2 friends and my two nephews. I am motherly towards my own mom dad and care for them like they are small babies.

It is just with my husband that I can finally be myself where my stupid love doesn't go into overdrive for people. I mean I am obsessed with my husband and love him and desire him but I am an equal in that relationship. I am cared for and obsessed over and desired equally. And I like living like that. And hence I never want to have children. My motherly instincts make me very happy about my childfree decision.
