Madya Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel during her recent visit advised young hostel girls in Rajgarh to not leave the kitchen, learn to prepare tasty daal and please mother-in-law.
Madhya Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel during her recent visit advised young hostel-dwelling girls in Rajgarh to not leave the kitchen, learn to prepare tasty daal and please their mothers-in-law.
I hadn’t come across any good joke for a really long time. With so many issues being discussed in the world and judgements being passed, even WhatsApp forwards these days have become all serious. Like a lost soul in a desert looking for an oasis, I was yearning for some humour in life.
You will be surprised to know who finally helped me in brightening up my day with some hearty laughs. It was none but the Madhya Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel. Of course, I am no Prime Minister of this country or some political party president to have a one-to-one talk with the Governor. Thank god for that! But it was her recent video of the interaction with girls at the Kasturba Girls Hostel in Rajgarh that blew my mind.
The former Chief Minister of Gujarat, Anandiben of late makes news with one or the other controversy. But this time it’s her highly ‘valuable’ advice that is making the rounds on media platforms. If you don’t know about it yet then please learn and keep it in your minds forever. It was not just for those hostel girls but for all of us. We want to be good bahus’ and please our mother-in-laws’ right? Yes indeed! As enlightened by Anandiben that’s our i.e. women’s ultimate purpose in life.
Being a teacher-turned-politician, one would expect her to speak to young girls about dreaming big, achieving academic success, getting good jobs and becoming independent. Instead, all that Anandiben asked them was to not leave the kitchen no matter how well they did, to learn to make tasty Daal and thus seal a good bond with their mothers-in-law. Kindly note these down people before you all forget these special words spoken by a women leader.
That is just a part of it, hold on to your seats, there is more coming up. Anandiben also had some precious beauty tips to share – “girls shouldn’t cut their hair but instead have long hair, as long hair is the matter of pride for girls.” With such notions still proudly being shared with girls, beauty products and other related companies can sigh in relief.
Anandiben hasn’t noticed perhaps that the world is changing and that indeed, it has to change for the better. Not all girls can just remain in the kitchen. Also, every girl can’t have long hair – to maintain them shampoos, conditioners, and serums are very expensive these days. Hope Anandiben and many others like her soon understand our plight and stop making us laugh unnecessarily with such ridiculous speeches.

We are conditioned to normalise domestic violence out of fear of abandonment. Thinking that 'trauma bonding' is better than no bonding holds us back from speaking up!

Everyone said my perfect husband was like Lord Ram…. but this is how he took unfair advantage of my tolerance!
My grandmother was very fond of my husband whose name is synonymous with Lord Ram’s name. Every call she made to my husband started with the bhajan “Aaj sab mil mangal gao, Awadh mai, raam aye hain“. (Hail everyone, sing praises, Lord Ram has come in the kingdom of Awadh.) It was a mandatory welcome song whenever she met him or even spoke to him on the phone. Yes, his attributes were like that of Lord Ram. His attitude, chivalry, persona, fair skin, smile, height, physique and charm illustrate the perfect image of Lord Ram.
Alone in the apartment the whole day, Riya used to feel claustrophobic. She could not imagine anyone living in with just one bunk to call one’s own. She thought about the clean air and the verdant hills of Siliguri.

Madhya Pradesh MLA Jitu Patwari's sexist remark about "waiting for Vikas" is in very poor taste, and not OK in a country with rampant female foeticide and widespread violence against women.

Before saying anything else, I want to clarify that I am not inclined towards any political party. As a citizen of India, I only support parties and politicians who deliver anything and that everything that is the best for the public interest irrespective of religion, class, caste, and background. More than anything else, elected representatives should protect the humane values prescribed in the Indian constitution.
So, I would like to be spared of those arguments that call my rants here anti-Congress or pro-BJP. I have dissented against the problematic ideas as well as statements of the ruling government.
Are you wondering what life at a girls hostel is like? It is fun and full of loads of memories! Here are five funny things that inevitably happen in all girls hostels.
For new birds, a girls hostel may not provide as much freedom as boys hostel. It is true that you feel frustrated and anxious about the restrictions. Still, what goes on in a girls’ hostel is an out-of-the-world experience, to be remembered for a lifetime! After having spent one year in a girls’ hostel, I have a profound understanding of the activities which occur behind the securely locked gates. Here, the dark and hilarious secrets are about to be unraveled.
The days begin with long queues outside each washroom when bathroom jamming sessions are the only source of entertainment. After attending boring classes all the day, we tend to gossip a lot after college hours. I mean, a lot! There are frank discussions – on periods, masturbation, the human anatomy, pregnancies, pornography, Netflix, Bollywood, bitching about what-a-bitch-that-other-bitch-is and every other topic under the sky is discussed in depth and with interest.
