In eastern culture, married daughters (especially one who are away in other cities, countries) are missed on each occasion. Be it Eid, Shab barat or Shadi, Barat.
I’ve seen my dadi sending new seasons fruit to our Phuppi first (who was in the same city). My Abba and uncles do follow this tradition.
In old days, during Sawan days, jab koyal ki cook sunai deti thi, doosre shehron aur gaon main biyahi hui betiyan apna maika yaad kar ke gaati thin:
With the passage of time, when people get busy with their own lives, do you still observe these things. longing of daughters for their babul and babul looking forward for the daughters?
I think in some areas this culture is still well alive but those who observe it are sadly dwindling beside aaj kal ki shadi itni lambi sukhoon naheen jhantee
lolz this reminded me of my first eid, i cried a lot it was my first eid without parents, whenever i visit my parents, while coming back on airport there is always emotional drama, mum n dad still cry with tears
What do you mean by aaj kal ki shadi itni lambi sukhoon naheen jhantee? Does it mean that today’s couples are more romantic and can’t live away from each other?
Not neccasarily more romantic but definately more pedantic… Back in old days my elders were seperated for long times becuase of difficuilty like wars, or working abroad etc. Todays couples just dont have so much strength and the larai often starts days after the shadee anyway…
I think in old days, many families followed Pehlooti ki rasm because then the girls were more attached to mothers and it was natural that they should be alongwith the their mother at that time. waise purane zamane ki saasen bhi to jallad huwa karti thi, thats why the bahus were not comfartable.
V don’t have this tradition , it’s getting less these days I think bc of nuclear family system, n mostly mothers now visit their daughters at time of delivery, my MIL came instead of my mum

What do you mean by nuclear family system? Sorry, I being a civilian don't know these military terms.

First birth of baby takes place at girl's parents town/home...and they have to bear the expenses....In our part women rely on support of their family so opt for child birth at parents home/town
but of course control myself bc ppl r staring u like hell
