All the excitement of shifting into a new (rented) house has been marred by the current owner refusing to give back our security deposit. Quite a harassing situation I tell ya! Apart from the the fact that we are losing money, the worst thing is the feeling of helplessness ('helplessness' is one feeling that a control-freak like me do not like AT ALL!)... Just can't accept the fact that he can simply not return our money!!! We are in NO MOOD to give up, less or more, its OUR hard-earned money, and I WANT it BACK :|.
Second the 'honour killings' bother me a lot.... Is this the India our children will grow up in? What is my gotra (my husband's or my father's)? why should my gotra change after marriage? what is gotra anyways and why should it be so paramount?...and what is caste? what is my caste? again, my husband's or my father's.... why should it change anyways.... what would be my kids' caste?? why should it be my husband's caste and not mine ?? do I like it, No....... do I like my husband?... Yes, & I love him too (and very much at that!). Guess the last one is one comforting point that helps me bear the rest of the nonsense that this world is becoming (or may be always was)

ki farak painda hai..
I mean .. cheezon ko itna serious kyun lena..
Yes!! koi farak nahi painda! (:p) i.e. It shouldn't matter'! it bothers me if it matters !
Caste...gotra and all are holding us back. far back. I can not believe we still care about them.
So did u get the money back?
Totally agree with you on the helplessness that one had to go through. I had a tough time with my previous landlord who cancelled the security deposit cheque when she found out a bulb was fused..
