Family members advising you... should you really believe them 😱😱😱

Advises by close family members:

😱 Join brahmakumari sansthan

😱 sign on this stamp paper 

😱 sign on this form. I'm opening a company and making you a member of the board of directors.

😱 You have such good credit score. Why can't you take a loan against it. 

😱Marry that penniless, unemployed and undergraduate distant family member. You can get his share of the native place property.

😱 You are going to be his wife. So what if he enjoys with the other woman. A girlfriend is always weighed lesser than the wife. 

😱 If the exam marks are corrected, you don't have to get it corrected in the report card. 

😱 Why are you walking in a straight and upright posture. A woman must always bend her back while walking. 

😱 You should never change you DP more than once in a day. 

😱 You should always maintain good relations in your marital home, no matter what.

😱 If you've been cheated, you should also cheat and entertain men. 

     These are all the horrible advises that I myself got up till the forty-third year of my life. Can you really trust ? No, you can't and you must not. Thank God, for today's generation, there is the strong general atmosphere that education is essential and is the topmost priority. I'm educated and that has saved me uptil now. Worry has cropped up in my mind. You can't depend on others. One wrong trust and you land on the footpath. I'm glad that in the ICSE syllabus of 8th Grade, where my daughter goes now, there is a separate subject called 'Financial Literacy'. This is a very good move by the education committee. It's not just useful, but is like Oxygen for today's life. 

     I've seen many Bollywood movies like Ajnabee, Baazigar, Gehraiyaan which showed betrayal and the gore ending of its story. So, how should today's educated young women lead their lives ? I have seen horrible sugar-coated so called friends too. Once we come out of childhood, there are jealousies, cunningness, scheming and home-breaking nature in the minds of people. How can we find somebody truthful and matured ? Somebody who is intelligent enough to understand well that me ekta shahana, baaki sagle gadhav won't work. 

     Well, may be buying a top notch AI can be good. 'Teri Baaton mein Aisa uljha jiya' and 'Ra-One' movies were truly good. Instead of buying a dog, we can always have a good AI-relative. That is the one to go for. So yes, I've thought and I'm for it. Just waiting waiting and waiting for the next facility in AI break through.

     AI or technology of any sort, for that matter, you should always be alert and financially literate. If you are not, keep everything aside and learn that. In this today's world of so much progress here there everywhere, trust-worthiness is what is difficult to find. So folks, start raking your brains. The topic which I have taken up is really really important. 

     Let us say bye for now. It's late in the night and I still have got loads of work to do. Till we meet the next time, chow. 🤔🤔🤔
