Two States- The Story of My Marriage

Fatima Ahsan 0 Views

Two States – The Story of My Marriage by Chetan Bhagat is a novel which was written by his own inspiration from his life, but the novel is a fictional work of his. He is one of the most popular contemporary Indian novelists in Indian English Literature. I started reading this book just because when I came to know that this is the same writer who has written the story of 3-Idiots. Before starting the book, I started watching this (2 States) movie by Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor, thinking of a 3-Idiots movie first. Although in my opinion, it is not as up to the mark as the 3-Idiots was, but still, it wasn’t as boring too. I enjoyed reading this book more than watching this movie because of the very simple and energetic style of writing.

We have been hearing this for a long time that the dispute on the India-China Border is similar to that on the Indo-Pak Border. This issue always adorns the headlines temporarily and then fades away. But this time it didn’t happen rather the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination (WMCC), comprising senior officials of the Ministry of External Affairs (MFA), established in 2012 and which normally meets just twice a year, is meeting for the second time in two weeks, an indicator of the seriousness of the LAC situation.

Paralyzed Marriage Institution in Punjabi Culture

Fatima Ahsan 0 Views

Doing marriage in Punjabi society has become one of the toughest tasks. It is due to some rites, which, according to people, are the compulsory elements that must be a part of a marriage. In actuality, all these activities are the wastage of money as well as of time. These activities may include a huge list of different Rasoomat (rituals).

The most common ritual, which is seen in South Asia, is giving Jahez (dowry) to a daughter. It may include the furniture of the whole house or at least of the groom’s bedroom. It also includes crockery, bed sheets and electronic appliances etc. Half of the wedding budget is spent on this. Giving an affordable amount to the bride is nothing bad rather it’s the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) but people nowadays spent lavishly on dowry just to follow the folkways of society.
