Men, Stop Trying To Be 'Macho' Always And Mess Everything Up, Like Will Smith Did!
Last month, a friend of mine recommended a Malayalam movie called The Great Indian Kitchen. I was instantly intrigued by the name, wondering what could be the theme of this movie carrying such an interesting title. Was it about glorifying our food, glorifying our culinary skills or glorifying our Indian kitchen? I was excited. But little did I know that an awful shockwave would be waiting for me when I would watch it.

Our courtship began 23 years after we got married
Table of Contents Toggle “When silence between two is comfortable then the relationship is deep.” But the silence that stretched between us was not at all comfortable. At least not for me! Twenty-three years … yes, after 23 years of our marriage, we were ‘alone together’ in our ‘empty nest’. The only sound in the house was of Arnab Goswami disrupting his own show. “Shall I serve dinner?” Finally I broke the silence. “Yes,” he switched off the TV. I went to the kitchen. He followed me. We sat to dine.
How comments about her weight were threatening her belief in her marriage
I never took comments about my weight seriously I remember the day my daughter turned 17 and we threw her a birthday party. Very diligently I concealed all my fat behind a sari, put on makeup and was ready for the party. “Your Mom looks bomb,” I overheard her friend’s casual comment. I was sure that was a compliment but you never know, it might be a comparison to a round voluminous bomb. I took it positively and we left for the party.
How I stood up to my mother-in-law and kept my dignity
No matter where you live, Indian parents have a fetish to control their children’s life with the invisible remote control which is very hard to find. It is so powerful that even if you live on the other side of the world, it works and works very well. There is also a common belief among the parents in our society. They believe that when they marry off their daughters, they bring home the most esteemed guest of the house.
We got married without meeting each other even once
Ours was a blind marriage. Yeah, it was like a blind date where you date a person who you don’t know and have not met before. We were the bravehearts who jumped into married life without meeting each other even once. I was in a better position. I had seen a photo of him. He hadn’t seen even that. My friends were amazed.
