Blogging is my way of venting out my frustration, more so when I have nothing else to do. So approximately 2 years after my first blog, to your like or dislike, here I am again.
Lot has changed over the years. I became an engineer ,though I am ashamed to call myself one knowing the treasure trove of relevant knowledge i posses. Nonetheless, i scored a job (*YIPEE* *PHEW*) at a consulting firm(as far away from core engineering as possible).
BUT lethargy took over and i am taking a plunge into the student life again and going for my management studies to London Business School(*sound of bursting crackers*). And thus starts the subject for my new blog "Life of a not so rich not so poor girl".
As we all know, studies abroad can be quite costly and doesnt just burn but drills an hole into the pocket. To sew up that hole or in an attempt to at least patch it I applied to 1000+ scholarships (note:the figures might be a bit exaggerated). Got an interview call from almost all of them (showing off) but couldnt convert any till now :(. With only 2 or 3 results to be declared and keeping in mind my stupendous past performances at scholarship interviews, the reality stares me in the face. But why would a decent student be denied scholarships? and the answer my friends is *DRUMROLL* money.
I always thought that people who are focused towards their career and acads are given merit scholarships and i also thought that keeping your finances in place through education loans,personal finance,bank looting and smuggling is being focused towards the academic program till i found out otherwise. Applying to course without keeping full finances at hand and creating tall tales of entrepreneurship to finally ditch the idea and join an investment bank are a better way to start. I got feedbacks from various organizations saying i am not needy enough and the school and accomodation charges scream that i am not rich enough. Where the poor of the country wish they grew richer by a bit, i pray for quite the opposite everytime i am rejected for a schol.*sigh*
Anyways basking in the glory of getting an admit and living in the hope of getting a dcent job i am taking the plunge of faith. To save money i will skip haircuts, lunch and earn money from surveys..:D. Signing off with a strong feeling that a billionare will come across my blog and sponsor me for the program--M.M.
If any new person visit someone’s house in that place and ask any women, where her husband is there in the home or not, but the it will be difficult to get answer for this question. So if you ask 1st husband or second or third like that or better to ask with the name then you will answer correctly for your question.
The places near himachal Pradesh and around Himalayas there are grand sons and daughters of pandavas. There are having more than one husband is common over there. In this custom the elder brother marries a lady and remaining brothers also becomes husband to the lady. That means she should fulfill and serve with all wife responsibilities for the remaining brothers of the husband. The person over there says that this is a common thing to them as they are grand children of pandavas. So they follow this custom.
The places sangla valley, kinnera in himachal Pradesh and the villages around it , all follow thi custom. Accordingly the lady marries elder brother of a family and remaining brothers of that elder brother in that family will be her husband’s. Just like drawpathi in maha bharatha. The children of them call the elder brother in that family as father and the remaining as uncle.
Benefits:
They feel that joint families are very happy. The separation of brothers mainly cause due to gold, wife and property. So as all brothers have a same lady as wife, then there will be no fights and misunderstandings between the them. There will be fewer children. Their children can be taken care very easily. Being cooperative in taking responsibilities in home and work then the income also increases. Though there are many grandsons but property will be in the same family. If they perform marriages by getting different women to the other brothers then they need to share the property and income among them. Then these shared one may not be sufficient to all the families. Then it will be difficult to look after children.
A wife of these places says that they got used to this custom. Not only in himachal Pradesh, few villages of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala and Tibet, Nepal and china also have this custom. Especially this custom mostly followed in the villages of Buddhism and Hinduism around the Himalayas. This is custom is followed from centuries. This custom in our India and some other countries treated as crime. But also some people follow it. If police officers go to those places where this custom is followed and enquiry then they escape by saying that the elder son got married and the remaining are bachelors. As all the people of the village saying something. So government also could not stop this custom. Few ladies mahila mandal groups fought against this custom.
For property:
If we keep the custom aside then the benefit of this is for the people around the Himalayas live by cattle and agriculture only. As those villages are of Himalayas. So agriculture farms will be very less. The land which come to the family by their ancestors and if it is divided and shared then they will get very less shares which are not much sufficient to survive. If there are 3 brothers and there are 3 wives they will have children then population increases. So the income they earn may not be enough for filling their hunger. So if there they will have less kids and property also will be with the family. As TV, cell phone became popular. Children started studying and even doing job. So now people are coming away from this custom.
At those places, the population of women is less. This is one of the reasons for having more than 1 husband.

Tourist place in our own country
I am sure many of my friends who are going through these pages have already visited Himachal Pradesh situated in lap of Himalayas. Himachal is one wonderfully beautiful state where visitors come to enjoy their summer vacations from allover the world. The state is full of lovely places like Shimla, Manali, Dalhousie, Dharamshala, Chail, Kullu and many more. I have already written an entire article about Shimla therefore I shall skip that place here but would like to take-up Manali and Dalhousie in this article.
Manali- This is the place where they trust that Himachal came into existence from and this place known as birthplace of Himachal according to ancient books and local beliefs. Manali named after great Rishi Manu whose temple is here in old Manali village. Temple of Hidimba constructed about three thousand and five years before in Manali reminds of Mahabharata age and connects the place with that era. There is only one way to enjoy the beauty of the place and that is visit this town situated at the height at 1950 meter from sea-level and forget every thing else.
Dalhousie- Dalhousie interestingly situated at different heights at different places, right from six thousand to nine thousand feet from sea level. This place found by a British officer Lord Dalhousie, as is the case with almost all the hill stations in our country. The place is full of old churches, glorious buildings, and great temples. The views of hills full of snow are simply great to look at. Some of the places where most visitors go are Subash Baoli, Panjpulla, Bakrota hills, Kalatope, Dainkund etc. I am sure you shall never forget the place whole of your life once you have visited here.
Tourist places in South India
South India is my favorite area when it comes to describing about tourist’s interest places of the area. In fact, every place in south is a tourist place wherever I visited during my stays in south starting from Andhra to Kerala and from Tamilnadu to Kerala. There is so much to describe and write about it, which is not possible even in an entire book, although I am writing a book about tourists’ spots of our country, and the book consists mostly of south Indian spots.
There are spots like Chidambaram, Balaji, Meenakshi, Kanyakumai in TN and other famous temples situated in Kerala, famous churches, mosques, palaces and gardens etc. I would like to mention one of the beautiful places of Kerala here Munnar in Idukki near Ernakulam on the Western Ghats situated in Kannan Deven hills. This is only about four thousand and seven hundred feet from sea level still the temperature is pleasant all through the year of this lovely place. I have visited the place many times and I find some of its flowers and plantation disappearing due to tea plantation. However, there are so many lakes and parks, which compensates for missing beauty.
South India is full of different cultures and beautiful places with very kind and simple people who support visitors at every point and come forward to help them without any hesitation. People in south are simple and kind hearted and trust in god. I can suggest you to go and visit South India and enjoy your stay in very beautiful environment and friendly people.
