Dating apps is the new age zone where men and women look for prospective partners. But, it is not as rosy as it appears. The author draws the real picture of the world of dating apps.
Dating apps these days have an access to another world, to be precise, another planet. These days there are variations though ,especially for women. Some apps give women the power to choose their dates and also start off a conversation. However,there are always two sides to a coin.There are several men and women on the app who are already in a relationship, married or perhaps, have children. It makes me angry when I think of these people. Why do they do this to their partners? If you are not happy, just get out and then do whatever the hell you want.There are men and women from other countries too, sailing in the same boat called “flings”.
For the women who want genuine relationships or just friendship, I only have one word,”Sorry”. Well, be enlightened all you ladies, it’s a bizarre world of potential stalkers, cheating husbands, sex-deprived men and bad daddies. As safe as it sounds, you could still come across people who have hidden motives.
This reminds me of an incident when my friend went on her first date with a guy she met on this app. She wasn’t looking for flings, just meeting some like minded people. So long story short, she decided to meet him at a cafe and her jaws dropped as he walked in. He did not look anything like he did in the pictures on the app. Another con! The pictures that are used on these apps are misleading. I am not all for the looks, but she was so shocked at the difference that I had to write it here.
Some even give wrong information about their physical profile eg. their height and so on. Another guy she started chatting with was apparently a doctor (Information not verified) in a Greek god’s body. But one fine day, he mistakenly sent her a selfie with a wedding band on his hand. And then he justified by saying that the ring was on his right hand. Conclusion?BLOCKED!!
So this is the dating app world for you ladies. All I want to say is to keep your guard on at all times because you never know what kind of men you are dealing with or will deal on these apps.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
14 years after her last feature film Dhobi Ghat, storyteller extraordinaire comes up with her new film, Laapataa Ladies, a must watch.
*Some spoilers alert*
Every religion around the world dictates terms to women. The onus is always on women to be ‘modest’ and cover their faces and bodies so men can’t be “tempted”, rather than on men to keep their eyes where they belong and behave like civilized beings. So much so that even rape has been excused on the grounds of women eating chowmein or ‘men will be men’. I think the best Hindi movie retort to this unwanted advice on ‘akeli ladki khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai’ (an alone woman is like an open jewellery box) came from Geet in Jab We Met – Kya aap gyan dene ke paise lete hain kyonki chillar nahin hain mere paas.
The premise of Laapataa Ladies is beautifully simple – two brides clad in the ghunghat that covers their identity get mixed up on a train. Within this Russian Doll, you get a comedy of errors, a story of getting lost, a commentary on patriarchy’s attitude towards women, a mystery, and a tale of finding oneself, all in one. Done with a mostly light touch that has you laughing and nodding along.
