When love becomes divine
At a huge lifestyle store in a mall, I saw this old couple buying two face napkins which were on a fifty per cent discount. They must have been in their late seventies frail and short. If he was five feet three inches she would be around four feet ten. Though they looked very middle class from their clothes, he was wearing a shirt which was frayed at the collar and she surprisingly was wearing pants with a greyish top and her feet ensconced in sandals because women from that generation normally wear either sarees or salwar kameez.
They stood in the queue to pay their bill of the two face napkins. The woman stood behind her husband respectfully as any Indian woman would. This store had a policy that they issued a card to their customers where they would issue points with every purchase you made and you could redeem these points when they were of a sizeable quantity and buy whatever you wanted with it.
The couple reached the billing counter and while they were paying the bill the man at the counter said something to them. The man smiled and pulled his wife out of the queue and said do you know we have enough points accumulated, let us go and get the pant you liked. The women held his hand gave a shy smile and both of them seemed very happy almost ran to the women’s counter holding hands tightly.
Santa had arrived early for them and for me it was a glimpse of true love.

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.
The local artisans excel in crafting beautiful fabrics, each piece telling a story of skill and tradition passed down through generations.
Textiles and handlooms of India embody the essence of the country’s rich cultural heritage and artistic diversity.

These textiles are not just pieces of cloth but art forms that tell stories of the land, its people, and their beliefs. The craftsmanship speaks of India’s dedication to preserving its ancestral arts, making Indian handlooms a testament to the country’s unparalleled legacy in textile artistry.
