There should be a law..like a full fledged one, which should decide, what should be ‘limits’ of a middle class small town ‘bahu’..and then that law shouldbe applied to the entire nation and not only small towns cz now a days small townies are everywhere and messing up the big towns real good! And for those who by some grave misfortune, would not understand the sarcasm - there shouldnt be any such law or limit !!!
Ok..
The other day I accidentally(ok, so a bit was mere timepass curiosity too, while waiting for the lift) overheard conversation of two ladies..And they were no ordinary ladies but the law makers themsleves who were self appointed to decide on the above mentioned limits.. They were like, chalo bindi n bangles uncmfrtable lgta he to its ok but toe ring to must he.. and then the other one said.. Haan re, toe ring, maang bharna and mangalsutra to must he baaki chaahe kuch na kro!!
And I ws like HEllo, is there some quadratic equation to come up with values of these variables?! I mean how, how on earth did you conclude that these three are MUST and not others.. Ok so personally I am just in favor of one thing- cmfort.. If any of the so called she-marital-accesories are in ur way of being cmfy, just wear them off.. but my anger in this case was its the ladies who were deciding the limits and cofirt lines for all ither ladies and judging them on the same..
And not that those ladies are gonna affect the overall ‘cruelty-factor’ at national level alone.. but its n-such-ladies that ACTUALLY decide the cruelty-factor and unwanted-Judgmental-factor of the indian society..hence creating more female villians in this so called patriarchal society..
I dont think any ‘man’ is gonna come upto any lady in the house saying why did not you wear a toering ( i know I have mentioned tow ring quite a few times; its just a grudge for Mum’s hurt toe cz of those stupid rings nthng personal )..
Also, while these villanious(i know its nt even a word and also it shud instead be smthing sufixing-prefixing vamp, bt villian somehow sounds more cruel-ish to me and ao is its -ious form) ladies would perform the actual ‘riots’, they have a tendency to say that they themselves dont believe in it but since they r ur well wisher, they dont want any other villainiois lady to nag you for it! And the ladies that these ladies r talking about would say the same, just in case in some alternate reLity you would try n confront them!!
Also these both species of ladies are the same ladies who have cursed some other similar ladies in the past..when they were forced to follow the rituals and customs and they have themselves twisted the rituals as per their comfort when they came in power..but now if any young lady tries to break the ‘law’ as per her comfort, she is being called a not-so-sanskari utterly-rebelious disbelieving-mod non-husband-loving not-taught-well rich-educated-brat who did not keep upto the expectations!!
Duh!!! So unfortunate and so anger-ramping!!!
