5 Stupid Things That We Should Really Stop Expecting Of Women In The Name Of Being “Shaadi Material”

1. First of all, cooking is not just a woman’s job.

So stop expecting of me to be a MasterChef of sorts. Agreed, that it is a necessary life skill, but I’ll cook if I want to and won’t if I don’t. Period.


2. Draping a saree?

Because it’s a proof of how sanskari I am? I’ll say you drape your narrow mindedness instead.


3. Putting on make-up and getting all dolled up.

It's a personal choice and I don't like it one bit, and if that makes me a tom-boy then be it. Seriously, I'm so done with this labeling fad. 


4. I'll have an opinion on everything. 

Married or not, nobody can expect me to stay mum when something important happens. And why just something important? I'll even have an opinion on the colour of the dry leaf at the courtyard. Deal with it!


5. Shy and coy? Lol what's that?

Since time immemorial Bollywood has shown the same ol' girl-carrying-the-chai-and-samosa-tray to impress her perspective in-laws. What do I say now? Some things should only be left to fiction.


 Weren’t these obvious? Yet some of us have to still to justify our place in a married relationship. But as Helen Reddy would say “You can bend but never break me, cause it only serves to make me...”  Every hurdle the society has thrown at us, has made us stronger and bolder. Star Plus' new show Ikyawann is a fresh take on it. It is the story of a girl raised by the men of her family and her non feminine traits make her non shadi material by the society. How she deals with it in her own quirky way is going to be worth a watch. Catch the promo here.

Why is India Perfect for the Bitcoin Revolution?

It is often a topic of discussion about Bitcoin’s place in the developing world. In the developing world, only 41% of people have bank accounts compared with 89% in the developed world. Within developing nations, cash is king and has been for many years. Most individuals in these nations won’t have experienced the modern forms of banking that the developed world are used to and any change to this would require a gradual introduction of change to ensure an efficient deployment. However, people in developing nations now have a chance to skip the current banking infrastructure we have in place and move straight towards a trustless, decentralised and immutable financial system. One of the major reasons as to why India is perfect for the Bitcoin revolution is due to their population’s lack of banking infrastructure. India is the 7th largest economy in the world, based on their nominal GDP of $2.5 trillion. However, there are 233 million people in India who do not have a bank account, w...
