My poem speaks about the love and dedication of two bravehearts. Lt Nikia Kaul Dhoundhiyal and her husband Maj Vibhuti Shankar Dhoundiyal…
Major Vibhuti was martyred in an encounter with the terrorist just nine months after their wedding.
Lt. Nikita paid a fitting tribute to him by joining the Indian army.
She married a man in Olive Green Her life became a beautiful dream In him, she had found the love of her Life. He was a loving husband, She, his adoring wife.
They spent many happy times together, Savoring each moment as if treasure. For such moments were few and far between She had married a man in olive green To serve the nation was his dream.
Every time when he kissed her goodbye, This could be our last he may sigh, I want to cherish your image in my mind. For memories are what we leave behind You have married a man in olive green, To honor his duty is his dream .
Their fears were not unfound, for one day He went with flag in his hand And was bought back , wrapped in its shroud She looked at his body and cried aloud, You have laid down your life for your country I am proud She married a man in olive green He had served the nation as was his dream.
He laid down his on the day of Valentine, She did not cry nor did she pine Though he may not be with me in body, In spirit he always will be mine For I married a man in olive green To live for his love will is my dream.
She left her cushy job and decided to don the uniform, The life will not be easy they said The training will be tough, they persuaded. But nothing would make her change her mind And she was prepared to face the grind She had married a man in olive green To follow his life, now became her dream.
She took all challenges in her stride . Love conquers all ,she said with pride. They pinned the stars on her side, Tears of joy she could not hide. She had a married a man in olive green Today, for him she had earned the olive green And to serve the nation was his and now her dream.

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.
Darlings makes some excellent points about domestic violence . For such a movie to not follow through with a resolution that won't be problematic, is disappointing.
I watched Darlings last weekend, staying on top of its release on Netflix. It was a long-awaited respite from the recent flicks. I wanted badly to jump into its praise and will praise it, for something has to be said for the powerhouse performances it is packed with. But I will not be able to in a way that I really had wanted to.
I wanted to say that this is a must-watch on domestic violence that I stand behind and a needed and nuanced social portrayal. But unfortunately, I can’t. For I found Darlings to be deeply problematic when it comes to the portrayal of domestic violence and how that should be dealt with.
Before we rush to the ‘you must be having a problem because a man was hit’ or ‘much worse happens to women’ conclusions, that is not what my issue is. I have seen the praises and criticisms, and the criticisms of criticisms. I know, from having had close associations with non-profits and activists who fight domestic violence not just in India but globally, that much worse happens to women. I have written a book with case studies and statistics on that. Neither do I have any moral qualms around violence getting tackled with violence (that will be another post some day).
