Marriage Magic #1:

 

Well..Today, a tricky topic Equation that changes after Marriage…”

Marriage is a system, that enables makes two individual to start a new family and  generation in a legal way. Uhmmm.. In all types of marriage, there is interesting equation change happens and  it is quite common, atleast as I far as I have observed in South Indian Marriages.. i.e equation of addressing each other..


 After Marriage, Men status always goes one step higher than woman esp in the way they address each other in front of public. When a woman has to call her husband in public place, it has to come with a respect. He cannot be addressed by his name whereas  Man can address his woman by name and it is considered to be right.

 Even if a woman address her man , the problem starts with Mother in law, relatives and her own family . But why it is not concern when woman is treated that way.... Is  it not they do not deserve respect in public place or  in the way of addressing. It does not stop here.. even their friends has to address them with different note…Silly..

 I found it amusing when my close friends gets married and I cannot address them in the same way ie calling them by their names like  how I used to address them before.. whereas I can still address my female friends💁

 I think this culture would have come into place where in olden days, there was age gap in marriage and predominantly men were older than women.. the culture of addressing men with respect is been started.. but with generation coming in , as we are moving forward , the culture of finding bride groom and groom has been changed, nowadays there is no age gap in couple..

 So , why the system is still followed? One’s respect does not go-off by calling their names either it does not mean one speaks with respectful words gives you respect.. it might be sarcastic too… 

Think over on it… 🤔

That’s take on today’s blog,  Meet you in next blog

  1. The very reason is feudal mindset of our society which has changed only in terms of clothings etc but not with mindset of giving respect to other person

Is it right??

Justice! Today the topic is,   Justice! As soon as I heard the word, I remembered Karna! Most of us favorite character in Mahabharat! It is my version. Hence I request not to compare with the epic Mahabhart and the literature written by legends!😌 His birth was impulsive act by  princess Kunti! Surya’s Son. Born as prince , he did not get the right to live the life of prince! He was not mentored by Dhronacharya. Panchali insulted him in her suyamavar because of the caste he grow up..  His guru and cow herder gave a curse, that costed his life.. Kunti confessed the truth when the life of Pandavas was at risk.. It is hard to digest the fact that the mother who gave birth does not want accept and acknowledge him as her son! Injustice!!🙍 His life was tailored to face injustice !! What Karna did towards injustice is made him today also as Hero in Mahabharat and  equivalent to Arjuna!  He embraced all the injustices given to him. He has given his best to exce...
