A Mom, a Daughter and a Life

By Jagatheesan Prabakaran

The story revolves around Swetha a modern-day girl, whose marriage got fixed. The series of events that happens after her marriage got fixed, resembles the events of her Monther, fondly called Swethama by her neighbors, alais Ammu. As Ammu finds the sequence of repetitive events keeps on happening between her life and her Daughters life, stricken with Panic, to stop the events from happening further.
The story tells about the culture and traditions followed in the South Indian Marriages, the importance of every such tradition followed for more than 2000 years, Talks about how the modern-day civilization changed the hard traditional practices, to ease the burden of the ppl, etc.
The Story forms an interesting plot across generations and how it unfolds to the series of events.
I hope you will enjoy the story.
Thanks,
Jagatheesan prabakaran

The Beginning...

In another few minutes, the groom's side will arrive. They have reached the nearest bus stop to my house. Life is going to change a lot for my daughter, isn't it? Yes. Because it is the way for all women who are born in India. There are two lives for a woman. One before and one after.

The yellow knot is the modern Lakshman Rekha which changes the lives of poor Indian girls from one side to another. No one predicts it perfectly.

There may be a soothing breeze, a deadly storm, a divine bliss, or a deceitful game. Whatever it is, the girl must accept it fully and live with it.

Hiss, I don't want your so-called professional party life thoughts, to show its ugly face on your personal life mom said with little anger and fear.

Maa, pls stop. I will get ready as you wish Swetha started to change her costumes fast to please her mom quicker before Anil arrives.

Anil hails from a small-scale business family. He is from Kancheepuram (ancient
