a father's 'sacrifice' is described as providing money and being decent. a mother's 'sacrifice' is her body, her career, her identity, her free time, her health and her last name. the expectations were never equal.

Such a glorious time for women!

Giribala Singh isn’t your evil-saas prototype from old TV serials, stirring kheer and plotting in the kitchen. She is the upgraded 21st century version: English-speaking. Educated. Respected. Legally aware. Powerful. Her violence is no longer loud. It is strategic. Documented. Sanitised. And that’s what makes marriage terrifying for young women today.

@manmarziiyaan This film is my only litmus test for patriarchy. If you like this movie, I respect you. If you hate it, I hate you too.

“Quit your job, that will make them happy.”
“Stop talking to your friends, they don’t like that.”
“Get married, everything will be okay.”
“Have a child, they will come around.”
“Have another, then you’ll finally have some say.”
“Let the kids grow up, now isn’t the right time.”
“Now the children are adults, leaving won’t look nice.”

This is how women are slowly trained to postpone their own survival.

Every phase of life becomes another excuse to stay trapped in a toxic marriage.

Society rarely asks why a woman is suffering, it only asks why she cannot endure a little longer.

Wretched society this is!

@TheTweetOfGod Thanks for acknowledging that.

Indeed! To conflate a Rasgulla with an Idli is not just a culinary error; it is a profound cosmological misunderstanding.

To begin with, the comparison is practically a biological impossibility. She is comparing chhena (the delicate, squeaky, pristine curd of milk) with a meticulously fermented batter of parboiled rice and black gram (urad dal). Their compositions are from entirely different kingdoms. One is an airy, spongy lattice designed to trap light sugar syrup; the other is a dense, wholesome, steamed matrix of complex carbohydrates and proteins. Their taste, consistency, structural integrity, and existential purpose share absolutely nothing in common.

But more important, her attempt to dismiss the Idli as merely a blank canvas for sugar syrup does a grave disservice to what is arguably one of the greatest engineering marvels of the culinary world.

The Idli is not a mere "bland cake." It is a masterclass in biotechnology. To achieve the perfect Idli is to balance the delicate microflora of wild fermentation over a cold night, resulting in a steamed cloud that is a triumph of gut health, lightness, and nutritional balance. It is a savoury monolith of South Indian culinary genius, perfectly engineered to absorb the sharp tang of a well-spiced sambar or the fiery depth of a molaga-podi (gunpowder) paste infused with cold-pressed sesame oil or nutritious melted ghee.

To suggest an Idli would even consent to being drowned in sugar syrup is to fundamentally misunderstand its dignity.

If this lady finds Rasgullas overrated, argue that on the merits of their sponginess or sweetness. But please, leave the noble, perfectly fermented, steamed majesty of the Idli out of your dessert-table polemics, ma'am!

society did a horrible thing to women by brainwashing them into believing any marriage is better than being single.

"Don't watch such movies, this is fictional movie. India needs movies on real issues like Unnao ràpe case. Does any film producer have guts?" 🔥

India's young are more educated than ever. So why are so many jobless? https://t.co/G7eIhMJ8nz
