To all those guys saying that women must have long hair, please mind your own business and let women decide on their own unique and individual looks.
I have short hair now. It looks like a boy’s hair cut as people say. Yes if you go to the hair salon, they will say it is a boy’s hair cut. I did not know that hair cuts were gender specific. I can never understand what is the harm in women having short hair.
My hair is slightly shorter and thinner at the sides. My colleague commented on whether I had been to the Tirupathi temple. I said no. He said my hair looks shorter at the sides and he thought I had cut my hair there. I was shocked. I did not know what to say.
Who makes these rules that women have to have long hair? I have thin hair and short hair cut makes my hair look fuller. But that does not make me a man. What about the people who have severe hair loss or are suffering from cancer? If they have short hair, like Sonali Bendre now, people make a big deal out of it.
My friend has this short hair (which people called boy’s cut). She was supposed to get married. Obviously everyone around her wanted her to grow her hair or wear a long hair wig. My friend refused. She could not understand the harm in getting married with short hair. She looked like the most elegant bride on her wedding day and I was so happy for her.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 might have had a box office collection of 260 crores INR and entertained Indian audiences, but it's full of problematic stereotypes.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 starts with a scene in which the protagonist, Ruhaan (played by Kartik Aaryan) finds an abandoned pink suitcase in a moving cable car and thinks there is a bomb inside it.
Just then, he sees an unknown person (Kiara Advani) wave and gesture at him to convey that the suitcase is theirs. Ruhaan, with the widest possible smile, says, “Bag main bomb nahi hai, bomb ka bag hai,” (There isn’t a bomb in the bag, the bag belongs to a bomb).
Who even writes such dialogues in 2022?
Be it a working or a homemaker mother, every parent needs a support system to be able to manage their children, housework, and mental health.
Let me at the outset clarify that when I mention ‘work’ here, it includes ANY work. So, it could be the work at home done by a homemaker parent or it could be work in a professional/entrepreneurial environment.
Either way, every parent struggles to find that fine balance between ‘work’ and ‘parenting’, especially with younger kids who still need high emotional and physical support from their caretakers. And not just any balance, but more importantly, balance that lets them keep their own sanity intact!
