I grew up under very different circumstances, in a nuclear family sort of thing and did question a lot of the old traditions. Even in my generation, widows do not attend weddings as one of the other commenter mentioned. The lady who did my hair and makeup at my wedding, a distant relative of ours, was a young widow a few years older than myself (she had lost her husband tragically in an accident and had been sent back to her parents house), was very touched because I asked her to come to the wedding. I had no idea that widows were not supposed to attend wedding, not that it would have made any difference.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00849860692240566170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-64247441383515046052013-06-05T15:42:21.938-04:002013-06-05T15:42:21.938-04:00Most of my cousins were totally on board with the ...Most of my cousins were totally on board with the old fashioned ways...they still are, they are shocked if a lady doesn't cover her head in front of her older male in-laws (FIL or BIL). Maybe it looked odd to me because I grew up in more modern surroundings and never understood these strange rules. Even the lady who did my hair and make up (for lack of a better term :) )for my own wedding, was a young widow, a few years older than me (her husband had tragically died in an accident) and felt very touched because I asked her to come to the wedding. Well, I had no idea that as a widow she was 'forbidden' to attend, not that it would have mattered. It is strange how even in today's society we follow these age old traditions never questioning them.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00849860692240566170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-39132559013736888252013-06-05T15:19:52.300-04:002013-06-05T15:19:52.300-04:00But Monica, why didn't anyone from your genera...But Monica, why didn't anyone from your generation convince your grandma to do otherwise ?

My paternal grandmother was a widow and my maternal grandfather was a widower, both long before my parents got married. I always saw my grandma in a white saree, shaved head, strictly vegetarian diet (including no onions or masur dal) and sleeping on a thin cotton mattress on the floor. My grandfather, on the other hand, seemed to have a fairly normal life and although he had a simple diet (patla macher jhol bhaat every single day), there didn't seem to be any restrictions. My family, unlike yours, were quite rigid about observing the tradition. Anyway, I quite enjoyed your story, thank you for sharing. Will try out the recipe sometime as well.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00849860692240566170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-49811338327579000402013-05-30T02:45:56.261-04:002013-05-30T02:45:56.261-04:00Just made this and it tastes really delicious.

In many communities, they are not supposed to bless people at a ceremony or a wedding, even if it's their own child, while there are no such rules for the widowers. I've seen one wedding photo album in which the mother of the groom kept away from the photos - I assume it's because she's a widow.srahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243944393796831559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-25679812835553396962013-05-29T05:32:49.260-04:002013-05-29T05:32:49.260-04:00That sounds delicious, thank you.
