Customs...Traditions and Rituals....


Last 2 weeks…I’ve seen such kinda things which made me think that “We are very dramatic people and we do so many things which we even don’t know why we are doing” Socially we all are very active which is an amazing thing…But we don’t know the real meaning of being social…We all are caught up in such kind of tradition from where we don’t want to be free also…

Traditions have been getting followed from our ancestors but do we really know why they were tagged along with us…??? Traditions are there to make life little simpler..to make the society to move on the same page…But if these traditions are not allowing one to take breath, then I don’t think it is going to make any beneficial things in our lives

In 18’s, ethnicity was galz should not go out. They should obey their parents and after marriage their husbands’. Widows were not having any rights to participate any of the social events…They had live their lives without any colors being painted in the way….After husband’s death, they need to be living as if there is no value or meaning left for their lives…

Now my question to this CURRENT society – Do we need to follow all these things now also? Do widow’s not having ant life after their husband? …If one life is over then is the society can someone else’s life by putting the burden of the so called TRADITIONS? After the husband’s death, already if the woman is in trauma…instead of consoling her, supporting her and children…Do we have to torture them by following some of the meaningless TRADITIONS…

Till this point, I was thinking that our society is consist of all sensible people and now such kind of EMOTIOANL ATYACHAR is not happening anywhere…But now in last 2 weeks…My assumption is broken like a mirror…The trust on the society and all matured people in it…. is gone with the time…Now I know, as the coin has two faces…This society too has two sides….One side you will see in all the happy moments, where people do come together and celebrate the time and other is very DARK side where people do come together…to create a TRADITIONAL drama and this is the AGONY of our society…

One life ends…keeping behind all his/her loved ones…
Thinking that society will make them strong and tough souls….

But the agony follows after the death of the person…
Society gets one more chance to play the so called tradition…

Widow has to face loads of restriction…
As if life after her husband is meaningless existence

Why society is following all these traditions …
Why nobody is raising the voice against this civilization…

Hope the next generation will understand what is correct and what is wrong….
Hope after the sunset every life will get some support to be strong…
