At the better India, I read about Harbhajan Kaur who started her own venture at the age of 90. The story says that this Dadi shared with her daughter how she regretted never earning money on her own. So, her daughter and granddaughter encouraged her to start her own business of making her famous besanContinue reading “Next time I go to Chandigarh, I want to try Harbhajan Dadi’s handmade barfi”

Being hanged till death is not a good enough punishment for such devils. The kind of torture they inflicted on the girl and their remorselessness about their actions show they do not have any humanity left in them. Allowing them to file mercy petitions when the whole world know what they have done is tooContinue reading “Nirbhaya’s Rapists Should Not be Hanged”

The girl is nice, pretty, and educated. But I am afraid to let the marriage happen. On the day the marriage was finalized, her father passed away. Four days before marriage, my uncle-in-law’s wife passed away. Since we live in a joint family, we were very close. In fact, her house is the wedding venueContinue reading “I am afraid that my soon-to-be DIL is unlucky”

I am an Indian graduate school student at Northeastern University in Boston. I am so embarrassed by the behavior of Indian men on my campus.

This did deter the men fromContinue reading “You would think that if you go to US, you can escape the caste bias. That’s not true!”

I know you think I am an asshole now. But listen to me. I am a Bhumihar. I have recently got my MBBS degree. In my society, dowry is rampant. Ever since I am in my third year, girls’ parents and relatives have been coming to our house to secure me as their groom. TheyContinue reading “I am a Doctor, and I want Dahej (Dowry)”

Does anyone else out there like some rough play? I personally like sex better when there is some slapping, spanking, biting, and pinching involved. Why are Indians so against all of this? I am a graduate school student in the USA and am finding the gora boys to be much more adventurous and open mindedContinue reading “Slap Me!”

My mom had a cataract surgery in an East Delhi hospital. We were there for about four and a half hours. From the time we reached there until we left, I was carrying medical papers, two phones (mine and my mom’s), and purse in a bag. As I was waiting in the reception area, IContinue reading “Lal Kuan Bazaar is Where Stolen Phones in Delhi Go”

I am on my cycle. There, I said it. Just like 50% of the adult population, once a month I release an unfertilized egg and get my period. It is a medical fact. Why is it taboo to talk about it? Even if I mention to another woman that I am on my period, it’sContinue reading “Menstruation”
