Very strange thing about Indian marriages - Indians plan weddings for months. They never plan marriages.
Marriage is not an event. Marriage is after the event.
Life is lived after it, but they have no plans for it. Nobody has discussed how the marriage is going to look after the wedding, apart from the honeymoon destination. That's it.
The entire pre-marriage process in India is about matching horoscopes, checking skin color, negotiating dowry softly, and booking a caterer. Nobody's having the actual hard conversation.
One important part nobody talks about - emergency funds, investment corpus, financial cushion. Everything is about the wedding day.
Because it's an uncomfortable conversation. The hard reality is life runs on money. Most marriages break because of financial issues.
The wedding is visible. (Society can judge it, compare it, rank it)
The marriage is invisible.
We plan the wedding. Nobody plans the marriage.
The most dangerous pandemic of this century may not be a virus.
It is the “One Child Pandemic.”
One child carrying the pressure of two parents, four grandparents, and an entire bloodline’s expectations.
One child growing up in silent homes instead of noisy childhoods.
No sibling fights.
No shared secrets.
No built-in best friend for life.
Just screens, perfection pressure, loneliness, and emotional isolation dressed up as “modern comfort.”
Earlier generations grew up with less money but more people.
Today’s generation grows up with more gadgets but fewer human bonds.
A single child becomes the family’s hope, retirement plan, emotional support system, and legacy all at once.
And when that child breaks mentally, the whole house collapses quietly.
Human beings were never designed to grow up emotionally alone.
A society survives not only on economy and technology.
It survives on cousins, siblings, chaos at dinner tables, shared responsibilities, and people who stay after the parents are gone.
The real tragedy is not declining birth rates.
It is declining human connection.
We are slowly creating generations who know how to use every device…
but do not know how to share grief, tolerate differences, protect relationships, or carry family together.
A crowded house was never poverty.
Sometimes, it was civilization itself.
The last PM who faced media with integrity and honesty.Look at reaction of audience when he is answering.
@rahulkanwal asking #ManmohanSingh questions regarding corruption during his tenure, look at answer and vision.
A man with vision and stature of satesman.
A man known for LPG and creating india out of mess
Rest in peace.
In #ManmohanSingh time,
Min Income Tax Slab was raised from 50K to 2Lac and Max Tax Slab was raised from 1.5Lac to 10Lac within 8 years.
That's how he cared for Tax Payers. RIP Sir 🙏
