Read how Nicholas and Karen found their love again after 25 years of getting married and going through the thick and thin together.
She looked in the mirror hard and touched her freshly sprouted hair.
Nicholas and Karen thought they knew what love meant until then! Until that moment when they had to fulfil their vows.
He entered the kitchen for the first time in his life. For Karen! He bathed, clothed, cooked, fed, carried and tucked her in bed.
Nicholas fell truly, madly, deeply in love with his wife all over again. Yes, including her bald head! No, Especially her bald head!
Detected with cancer earlier this year, Karen discovered more than just her hair at the end of it. Marking their 25th wedding anniversary today, they read aloud their vows to each other one more time.
´I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days of my life.´

Shows like Indian Matchmaking only further the argument that women must adhere to social norms without being allowed to follow their hearts.
When Netflix announced that Indian Matchmaking (2020-present) would be renewed for a second season, many of us hoped for the makers of the show to take all the criticism they faced seriously. That is definitely not the case because the show still continues to celebrate regressive patriarchal values.
Here are a few of the gendered notions that the show propagates.
A mediocre man can give himself a 9.5/10 and call himself ‘the world’s most eligible bachelor’, but an independent and successful woman must be happy with receiving just 60-70% of what she feels she deserves.
You do not have to be perfect. There’s no perfect daughter, perfect employee, perfect wife, or perfect mother. These are just labels created by society, for their convenience.
Dear Preethi,
So here you are, just out of engineering college, having no clue why you pursued Electronics Engineering. Yes, I know, like many others your age, you too were persuaded by your parents to opt for engineering because it supposedly gets you a lucrative job.
Believe me, however strange this might sound, you’ll soon come to realize that a high paying job need not always make you happy. And there are a myriad courses and career options out there, you should definitely consider something that’ll make you look forward to go to work every day.
