Homemade desi ghee is something I swear by.
As a partner, I have learnt so much from Payal Rohatgi. She has taught me the ways of this society and given me unconditional support.
All this talk of equality remains merely on paper. In real life, women are still bound by several psychological shackles and emotional boundaries imposed on them by their families and others. If a girl comes home late, she is asked 100 questions, whereas boys are not answerable for anything. And this prevails across segments.
It's good to get good marks, but some students take it on their heart when they score less in future. But the average student, on the contrary, keeps on trying to do something or the other to achieve his goals.
