Thanks.
This is what perhaps the phrase “handed down from generation to generation” means.

Nice take on how the relationship dynamics have changed over the decades. But one thing was missed. If there are two DILs in a house, then one is always a winner and other is a loser. That has unfortunately remained the same over the generations .

 

I have had a good relationship with my MIL. It was only possible because both of us started the relationship with a open mind and a open heart. If one of us had a narrow outlook, I would not be writing this response today. I am not saying everything was smooth sailing. Over the years I have ignored the subtle comments about my cooking , Punjabi culture etc as a random error in judgment ( or being surrounded by pure Tam Brahm aunties that influenced her unknowingly). I have also stuck to being unapologetic about my loud Punjabi culture and ghee loaded aloo parathas ( Rasam never causes one to break wind , I was told).
In the end, things have worked. We both got lucky , not every DIL will ignore the subtle comments and nor every MIL will put up with the parathas.

 

@SinghManisha,

If you like to see the reverse of Tam Brahm girl marrying a Punjabi boy, you should watch a Tamil movie called "Abhiyum nanum". I am not sure whether it has subtitle for you to understand. You should ask your husband to explain every comedy scene. Mostly, from the body language, you can understand the jokes.
