I don't understand something and I do admit it's a bit of an odd thing to be obsessing about ANYWAY... but... here goes...
...why is it, that in Hindi TV serials, a girl will wear salwar kameezes before she gets married (usually in the beginning of the serial) and only sarees after she gets married (usually within 9.5 episodes :P), and then will constantly wear said sarees unless she and hubby dearest go on a vacation without the in-laws, which is only when she permits herself to wear salwars again???
Is there some unwritten rule, that you're supposed to wear salwar kameezes before marriage and sarees after?
I heard (from my mother), that in some serial (which btw I do admit to catching if it's on coz it's just SO FUNNY; I feel like it's from another century or something), one old guy who's supposed to be the patriarch of the family, did say something like: "Doesn't she know that it's the tradition of this family that a girl only wears sarees after she gets married???"
At that point, I gave in to my cruder instincts to mentally say "WTF" when I heard about it. Ah well...

Finally I visit your blog and the most recent post is not "It's All About Loving Your Family" :P
Lol I know what you mean! That's TV serials for you!
indians will b indians...n relatives will b relatives!
Hi,Dee-LOL,it does sound funny when you hear it,but,it's a fact- a major part of our country is still steeped in tradition,right from this saree-after-marriage to keeping the head covered when in front of strangers to calling your hubby 'e ji o ji sunte ho ji',or'chunnu munnu de pappa'...hehehe!!:)
