The daughter-in-law is expected to merge into the groom's family culture completely, while the groom's family remains remarkably untouched by the concept of adjustment. Apparently, "two families becoming one" often translates into "one family continuing exactly as before while the other family politely disappears." And perhaps the next time someone says, "In our family, this doesn't happen," the real question should be: Why?

In many Indian households, dowry is no longer spoken of as a crime. It is disguised as “gifts,” “tradition,” “love for the daughter,” or “social status.”. But behind these softened words lies a harsh and violent reality.

Women’s health deserves language that informs, not limits; support, not stigma; and care that sees the whole person, not just the diagnosis. For decades, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has been one of the most misunderstood and under-discussed health conditions affecting women & menstruating individuals across the world.

Somewhere between being a daughter, wife, daughter-in-law, mother, and professional, a woman’s emotional world is pushed to the margins, not because it is unimpor

And in the end, it all comes down to this: “At some point, you stop chasing who you were told to be… and finally start honouring who you were always meant to become.”
