|December 2020
Aishwarya Acharya explores the idea of marriage through the course of time,and how the concept has evolved in the country

Over the past few decades, many things have changed. Be it the era of Charlie Chaplin or the age of vintage cars. Be it the Queen addressing her Christmas speeches to her subjects over a static-riddled radio frequency or the age of writing letters. This, and everything else, has changed radically. And marriage, a sacred bond between two individuals, is not lagging. According to a study by the Pew Research Center in 2017, in 1960, the median age for first marriage was 23 for men and 20 for women. Today, it has edged over to the other side. Although starting a new life together means different things to different individuals, the essence of it all remains the same. Read on to know how marriage has changed over time, and what it means to couples today.

"UGH, I HATE HOW I LOOK!"
If the title to this feature is a sentence that goes off in your head every time you stand in front of the mirror, you need to keep reading. No, this is not your run-of-the-mill self-love spiel that will magically change your self-image by the end. It won't. And it definitely won't silence the voices that have told you to fix, hide, and erase parts of you deemed “too much” or “not enough”.
