It is just a part of life and I believe people can be quite happy without it. <br />These ads you have mentioned are the ones that have my blood boiling. True that every other Mallu ad is one for gold. That fact is reflected in the gold covered brides that one sees. :(Shailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07174562168503272243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274757987780050698.post-7302148851304561332012-06-08T12:06:44.741+05:302012-06-08T12:06:44.741+05:30when you open your blogger editor to post a new po...when you open your blogger editor to post a new post and highlight text to add a link, in the dialog box that opens, you will find two checkboxes on your left lower corner, one is for opening link in new window, and the other is for adding a no follow attribute. if you check the open in new window option, readers can click and it will open in a new window or tab. hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274757987780050698.post-77188077349774236502012-06-08T04:28:01.408+05:302012-06-08T04:28:01.408+05:30Viyoma, Marriage is a very important decision of l...Viyoma, Marriage is a very important decision of life.! Sad that the prejudices of portraying Indianess have been linked to this thought.!

Societal norms have evolved and developed around this necessity. <br /><br />On one side we feel, there is undue importance given to this factor. On the other end, we refer to this same Institution- for projecting Indian Culture & its values.Viyomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09148836292606453449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274757987780050698.post-31865649517809755932012-06-07T11:32:55.835+05:302012-06-07T11:32:55.835+05:30Couldn't agree more with your post on how medi...Couldn't agree more with your post on how media actually reinforces the very things we need to break out of as a society. You have put together a great compile of links to illustrate your point too. I am new to your blog so I might be missing some of the context, but commenting all the same.<br /><br />Just a small observation. You might want to edit your "links" to open in new window. You will find this as a checkbox option for every link you add on the blogger interface. This will keep readers from leaving your site midway through the post. The internet is a fickle medium, and it makes sense to cover your bases.Subhorup Dasguptahttp://subhorup.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6274757987780050698.post-33121487237508722252012-06-07T10:05:39.634+05:302012-06-07T10:05:39.634+05:30Good post.
