Okay. Personal opinion. Strong opinion. Don’t like it, stay away. Bad day at work.
I seriously don’t understand married women taking on surnames of their husbands. Let’s forget about feminism and identity and power equations etc etc.
Even the liberated women who have a choice don’t think twice before erasing half of thier identity because a man married them.
Tanu and me joked a couple of times that Om Bhowmik sounds way more cooler than Tanushree Routray. But we were very clear that beyond jokes none of these are ever going to happen. Not because we don’t love each other enough. But because the act is so frivolous it does not merit considering.
I am me. You are you. We meet, we love and we get married. Even if you believe in that do badan ek jaan shit, it never crosses the mind of a man to take someone’s name.
Why are women so so so so so conditioned to show their love in such servile ways? I remember when I said I don’t understand how women live with abusive partners the ones to shame me that I don’t understand women were all women.
If you have done it, ask why. Why are you so suppine in your attitude towards life and love?
