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.

Bitcoin Plunges 29% From Record High

Bitcoin plunged as the cancellation of a technology upgrade prompted some users to switch out of the cryptocurrency, spooking speculators who had profited from a more than 800 percent surge this year. The cryptocurrency has dropped 9.5 percent since late Friday, extending its slide from last week’s record to as much as 29 percent, according to data compiled by Coinmarketcap.com and Bloomberg. Bitcoin cash, a rival that split from the original bitcoin in August, has jumped nearly 40 percent since Friday. Bitcoin cash is gaining popularity because of its larger block size, a characteristic that makes transactions cheaper and faster than the original. When a faction of the cryptocurrency community canceled plans to increase bitcoin’s block size on Wednesday -- a move that would have created another offshoot -- some supporters of bigger blocks rallied around bitcoin cash.
