I would say I wasn't that fortunate... in both the houses I had to face this ridiculous things... but as we both are living on our own  here I can relieve myself from all of this as I really don't believe in this bullshit..

@ I've been very fortunate. both my grandparents never believed it, my parents didn't and we don't in our home. we believe that it's God given and it's the very reason for creation.

While we did not follow restrictions except from entering the puja room (which i always did to prove a point) I have been around girls of my age who were not so lucky. Strict orthodox families have a separate outer room for menstruating women where food is brought to them. Their own children cannot touch them and if its a very young baby it sits in with its mummy inside. I know many households that still follow this sad tradition.

at my home too we dnt follow any such things.. but I have heard that at some places they are not allowed to sleep on bed too.. they sleep on floor.. and they are given diffrent utensils to eat.. it feels like they are untouchables.. it's a natural thing but dnt know y people follow these myths are
