Breaking the myth of paraya dhan.

- By Madhu R D Singh

Standing at the threshold of a satisfying life, I look back on changing times and thoughts. It feels like just a few years ago, I got married—a teenager to a handsome Army Officer in the elite Armoured Corps. I was soaking in the blissful married life, stars in my eyes, and loving the thrill of the bullet bike.

We were blessed with a baby girl soon after. But as I looked at my child, I thought... ah, a girl. Hmmmm. As a child, Anu was serious by nature and very accommodating. Then we were blessed with a baby boy. Wow! Congratulations!! Everyone wished us as if I had won some extremely challenging race!!!
