Mom : Where are you going son ?
Shopkeeper : Mam, 800 Rs.
Applicant 2 : Gives a very vague answer, tells nothing about the stats, not many details, nothing about his contribution, but, uses great English vocabulary words in his answer.\
Why does it itch on my vulva, uterus, and sides of my vagina, but it doesn't itch inside the vagina?
Well, typical Indian mentality states that if you are in a market, you bargain, bargain, bargain, till the time you don’t reach at least 50% of the price, buying anything for more than that is nothing less than a crime !!
Me : Mom, I am having a headache.
DIL : Yes maaji, I will just start. Also, I need to go home for Rakhi tomorrow.

Interviewer : So tell me why would XXX MNC progress more than YYY MNC in the next 10 years and what would be your contribution in it if we hire you.
Aunty A : This is what happens when they give girls too much of freedom !
A mother and daughter are sitting in the living room of their home and chatting.

Lady to girls : I am the co founder and CEO of XXX MNC, you can look it up on Google, so yes I can definitely afford a Business class ticket and the next time you decide to make comments on anybody just based on their appearance, do think twice about it. May you have a good day.
If the mother here, being a mother to her daughter, wants her daughter’s MIL to take care of her daughter and respect her demands and choices then should she also, being a MIL to her DIL, do the same for her ? Why the double standards ?
As an Indian girl, if you are unmarried after the age of 30, the society is not gonna spare you and your family. Everywhere you go, you are are going to be taunted and criticized for not finding a husband already and all your achievements and career progress will be overlooked, all the hard work that you’ve done, for yourself and your family will be put into trash because according to society - “Marriage is the only thing a girl should be worried about and that is the only thing which defines her.” And the double standard here is, that a man could be even 50 and unmarried, still he wants to marry a 25 year old girl only.
Is Matt Gaetz qualified to be Attorney General of the United States?
Police officer : Well, that’s how the system works, I am sorry, I can’t do anything to help you.
Amy : )
Me : Mom, I hurt myself while playing cricket.
Typical Indian mentality says, that if anything is wrong with you, according to your parents, your phone is the one and only cause.
How many times have we all heard this ? Why, just why, are girls always at fault, why can’t anybody ever see the boys’ faults. And I’m not saying that it is always the boys’ faults, many a times even girls are at fault but if the boys are at fault then also why are the girls blamed.
Girl 1 to Girl 2 : Yeah, as if people like her can afford a business class ticket, I’m sure she is in economy, it must be her first time travelling and she wouldn’t even be knowing of the different classes in a plane. Proceeds to call an airline staff member.

See the double standards here ? This is the story of most of the households, around us.
Mom to DIL : Oh good, you have come at the right time. My daughter has also come home today, go and make some tea for all of us.
Interviewer : Thank you so much, Applicant 2 your turn now.
Scene - 7 :
Aunty A : Now how are we going to find a groom for this girl ? We are doomed, now no one is going to marry her !!
Staff : Hmm, everything seems to be in place, thank you mam.
Why do people stay in cults after they have joined?
But there’s one thing I would like to say,
“Men don’t shed tears”
Mom : Pack it for 400, otherwise I’m going.

But what about the man who has always been taught by his mother to respect women and never raise hand on any girl, whatever might be the situation ? How does he defend himself ?The society doesn’t support him, the law doesn’t support him, even his own family doesn’t support him, whom should he turn to for help?
Shopkeeper : Mam, nothing less than a 700.
After the interview gets over :

The craze for speaking English these days, damn, I tell you. From school to office to everywhere, we are expected to speak so fluently in English and anybody not doing this is considered illiterate, not having class, uncouth and whatnot. As if Hindi speaker now, don’t have a place in the society. In school we are taught to say only Good morning to teachers and “Hi” and “Hello” to friends if any child says phrases like “Hare Krishna” or “Ram Ram”, the criticism and laughs he/she has to face, is just pitiful.
The social condition of r*pe survivors has improved greatly
Thought the instances I mentioned above are common to most of Indians, but it is not right to categorize all of us as one, we all are different, we have different cultures and different upbringings. Though there are many flaws in our patriarchal mindset, but I’m glad to say that the society is changing now,
Why are Indians so influenced by the Western culture, when the Indian tradition has so much to give?
Uncle A : This girl has left us with no face to show in the society !
So let this new generation of ours use this education and knowledge which we are gaining for some good purpose in the society. Let’s use it, to bring a change to the patriarchal mindset of the society, regarding various social norms and let’s normalize the things which are right but don’t fit into the current social norms.
Man : She becomes very violent sometimes, you please file a complaint against her.
Man : Please file a complaint for DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
Daughter : Mom, my mother in law is very bad, she always makes me do all the household chores, I come home, all tired from office and then have to take care of all the housework also, she doesn’t even let my husband help me, even if he wants to. And she doesn’t even let me come home whenever I wish to.
Girl 1: Hey aunty, I think you’re in the wrong line, the economy line is that way.
Mom : Arey…..it’s been so many years since your marriage and you still want to go home every year for Rakhi, now who will prepare the food and take care of the house while you’re gone, I can’t do everything at this age and my daughter has just come home. No need to go home this year.
In this male - dominated society of ours, men are always supposed to be macho men, strong men who can’t cry, can’t express their emotions and can’t express themselves.
Police officer : Sorry, I think I didn’t hear you right.
Lady : No miss, I am standing in the right line, I know very well which one is my line.
Scene - 2 :
At a random relative’s wedding
And beaten by wife ? That can’t even be a statement dammit, how the heck are you a man if you are beaten by your wife, slap her back, punish her, instill your fear in her, that’s what the society says.
Mom : Arey, no need for that, you have just come home all tired from office and now you want to help your wife with the household chores. Men don’t do all this work. Come and chat with your sister, she has come home after such a long time.
“Oh, she left her in laws’ home and came to live with her parents, her mother hasn’t given any sanskar”
Scene -5 :
Yours dearest
Scene - 8 :
Thank you so much everyone for reading this answer, I hope you like it.
Mom : Great, now make preparations for the dinner too, make all of my daughter’s favourite dishes.
Then, her daughter in law comes home from office with her husband.
Okay so the last two were to end this answer on a lighter note.
Aunty B : Why on Earth did you even allow her to leave home so late at night ?
When the daughter’s husband doesn’t help her, she doesn’t like it but she wouldn’t even allow her own son to help his wife. Isn’t this such a hypocritic behaviour and what the heck is the problem with men doing household chores, if the women can work outside and then do household chores then why can’t men do the same. Why is the thought of a man doing household chores glorified so much, it’s a job, if men can do the same work for pay then why not without pay, at home ? Why is the DIL always expected to manage everything alone, without any support ?
Interviewer : Because you don’t know how to speak fluent English, that’s why you answered all the questions in Hindi. We need somebody absolutely fluent in English for the job, to hold meetings with our overseas clients.
These days, when the cases of women, harassing men for money in the name of domestic violence and abuse are increasing so much, men too need the support of the law to defend themselves.
Staff to Lady : Hello mam, there seems to be some issue, could I please have a look at your ticket ?
Lady : (Clearly upset), sure no problem, here.
This fear of society, that every Indian lives with, where was this society when that poor girl was being r*ped and torture, why didn’t they come to save her? To save her, to support her, to empower her? Why did they turn a blind eye to everything the girl was going through and then suddenly came forward to blame her ?
DIL : But…..
Let’s start this answer by discussing some hypothetical scenarios :
“Oh, the marriage was called off, the girl must have done something, she must be having an affair with somebody”
The difference in behaviour the mom has, for her own daughter and for DIL.
Man : Yes, I am the victim, my wife beats me very much. I want to lodge a complaint of domestic violence against her.
Me : Mom, I am having a stomach ache.
DIL : (clearly frustrated) Of course maaji, I’ll just bring the tea and snacks.
Mom : She wants to focus on her career for a few years, then she will think about marriage.
Mom : Yeah, yeah, you’re right, we’ll think about it soon.
Applicant 1: Sir, sir, could I please ask you something ? Just one moment sir.
Shopkeeper : Okay mam, take it.
“You’re a man, fight back”
Scene - 4 :
Scene - 3 :
Interviewer : Okay fine, go ahead.
Mom : Give it to me for 200 Rs.
Applicant 1 : Gives a beautiful answer, along with all the stats and details, but in Hindi.
How often have men heard this ?
The status of regional languages is improving a lot
Uncle B : How are we going to face the society now ?
Police officer : Brother, I can’t do that, the domestic violence complaint is for WOMEN.
Mom : Don’t worry darling, I’ll talk to them, my daughter is not their maid and how can they disallow her from coming back to her own home.
“Be a man, don’t cry”
Girl 1: You see that lady there, she seems to be in the wrong line, she should be in the economy one.
Honestly, this obsession with Western culture needs to be stopped, it has reached such an extent now that people have forgotten Indian culture. Our beautiful Indian culture needs to be remembered and cherished, if all this continues then that day is not far when we would have been totally cut off from our roots and just like no tree can survive without its roots, similarly no nation can thrive if the people are not connected to their roots, their culture and sanskriti.
Someone please make these insolent people understand that the girl has been r*ped for God sake, she is literally fighting for her life there and you all here, instead of supporting her parents in their difficult time, are busy criticizing and taunting the girl.
Mom : Bhaiya, what is the price of this suit ?
Police officer : Who is the victim, your sister?
Mom : It’s because of your phone.
Aunty B : Of course, that’s when boys are attracted. It will not happen if they leave home in proper clothes.
Me : Mom, I scored less marks.
Our society has reached a sad state that everybody now, is judged and stereotyped based on their appearance and if by mistake somebody wears Indian traditional clothes like saree and suit, Oh God, they are considered to be so illiterate, having no class, etc. etc. The mindset is that one who wears jeans top, middy etc., and western clothes like these is sophisticated an classy and rest everyone is just uncouth.
Staff : Okay mam, I’ll go and check.
Tears and emotions are not gender defined people. Anyone can feel the need to cry or the need for a support then why are men, who express their emotion looked down upon.
A girl named X is a r*pe survivor, this is the conversation between her relatives and her parents, when she is in the ICU flighting for her life.
At an airport, the business class line, 2 so-called model like girls wearing high heels and carrying dozens of suitcases and an old woman dressed up in a simple saree
And what the heck was even her fault ? That she went out late at night, to do what, probably her job ? Probably for some important work ……. yes, maybe it was her fault that she didn’t remember what kind of a male dominant society did she live in, one which only blames girls for whatever happens,
“Oh, you are not able to have a child, the girl must be infertile”
A man filing a complaint at the police station.
Our traditional clothes like saree are being worn across the world
A random Mausi : Hey, what is your daughter doing these days ?
“Oh, she had a divorce, and the husband was cheating on her, she must have not served him enough”
Police officer : Brother, we deal with real cases here. You are a man, be a man, how can your wife hit you, huh ?
Interviewer : Applicant 2, you are hired.
Applicant 1 : (in Hindi) Sir, please be honest with me, my answer for the deciding question, was clearly better than Applicant 2, I am even more qualified than him for the position, still why was he chosen for the position?
My mom : She is working at XXX Company, her package is good.
Mom : It’s because of your phone.
Man : No, I am.
The husband proceeds to help her
Staff : Yes mam, what seems to be the issue ?
Mom : It’s because of your phone.
Me : Mom, I feel tired, I have anxiety and depression.
The husband obeys his mother and sits down. After some time, when the DIL arrives from the kitchen along with a tray full of tea and snacks.
Mom : So, what do I do it was your decision to continue your job, I told you to leave it, you only said that you can manage both home and office, now do it !
I am not criticizing English here, at all, English is a global language and should be learnt by all to communicate with people from different countries. But if someone from India wants to talk to someone else from India in any regional language, be it, Hindi, Bengali, Kannada, Tamil, Telegu, Malayalam, Marathi, anything, and both the parties involved, know the language, then what’s the necessity to talk in English ? Why can’t they simply communicate in the regional language ?
Aunty A : She doesn’t even wear saree and suit, madam only wants to wear jeans top.
Our regional languages have a rich history and extensive literature, often predating English. Why, then, do we look down on those who speak these languages? These individuals may be scholars in their native tongues, so why are they considered illiterate and uncouth?
Mom : No buts, no means no ! End of topic.
Son : I’m going to help her.
Instead of blaming the girls, why don’t we teach our boys some values and tell them to respect every girl like their own sister and mother so that no girl has to go through such atrocities ever again ! Why are their mistakes always overlooked just because they are “ghar ka kudeepak.”
Scene - 6 :
People are becoming more open to a gender equal society
Mausi : Ahh okay, nice, nice. Now don’t mind me, but take care of her a little, she how fat she has become, and she is already 30 now, shouldn’t she be married already?
Applicant 1: (Smiles and says in very fluent English) Oh sir, so that’s the only reason. I thought I lacked some capability for the job. I always give all my interviews in Hindi because I hold immense respect for my mother tongue and my roots, I want the company to hire me for my abilities and achievements and not for my linguistic skills. And yes, who said I can’t speak English. I can, very well speak fluently in English. Thank you so much for your time.
Mom : It’s because of your phone.
Mom : It’s because of your phone.
Man : Arey, why is it for women, it’s DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, NOT WOMEN VIOLENCE, anybody can be a prey to Domestic violence, be it man or woman.
DIL : Maaji, at least let me sit for a while, I have just come home, after a very tiring day at office.
Scene - 1 :
They will only be pleased when you toss your phone in the fire and never, ever look at it again.
Mausi : See, I am just saying for her own good, it is already difficult to find a good groom these days, and with her age and figure, it is gonna be even more difficult to find a good groom for her.
“Men don’t need a shoulder for support”
And “Leaving the job part”, why, just why, is a girl expected to leave the job, the career that she had parents had worked so hard for, put in as much efforts as the boys and just sit at home to be an ideal DIL and take care of the in laws and children. Why ?
