In case you are not aware of the qualities that qualify you
for being a perfect bahu in Indian families, here’s your guide. Learn and
imbibe them by your heart and earn a badge of Perfect Sanskaari Bahu for free!
1. Wake up Early
Working professional or a ‘house-wife’ as they
say, you MUST wake up early, wear a decent salwar suit with a bindi, sindoor
and lipstick and make chai for everyone after doing Durga Maa ki Pooja.
2. Cook Lavish Food for Everyone
It’s time you realise your superpowers. You
aren’t just a woman – you’re a Superwoman. A perfect Indian bahu cooks favorite
food for everyone in the family. The cuisine may vary from South Indian to
North Indian or even Continental at times, but remember what your mother used
to say before your marriage, “Beta, dil
ka rasta pet se ho ke jata hai”. Go learn every dish ever known to the
mankind.
3. NEVER ask for the ‘Me-Time’ with your
Husband
He is your husband later, and a son and
brother first. Don’t act mean and ask for a walk when your husband is sitting with
your in-laws. In all probabilities you would earn great respect from your in-laws.
4. You must have Educational Degrees but no will to work
Work after marriage is not
considered a good virtue if you are planning to become a perfect bahu. This
however doesn’t mean you shouldn’t earn those educational degrees – you must keep
them safe and laminated in a good-quality folder.
5. Unless it is a Government Job
6. You should be FAIR. Like, VERY FAIR.
Both in your demeanor and skin tone. No
compromise on this at all. Go buy a Fair 'n' Lovely today.
7. And long hair is a bonus.
Short hair won’t win you those extra
marks. If you have really long hair, don’t go for a haircut, even if you can’t
manage those locks.
8. Cover your head in the presence of father-in-law
When sasur ji is in the home, or sasur
ji’s brother, friend, neighbor, uncle, you dare not keep your head uncovered. You
would probably loose all the marks you have earned till now.
9. Parties = Family Functions
What is the fun without family
members? Family should be your first love, so whenever the feeling of a crazy booze
party with your friends cross your mind, immediately shun the thought, pick out
your heavy embroidered saree and get ready to attend tilak ceremony of your
husband’s bua ka beta.
10. Be P.E.R.F.E.C.T in all the things you do
Knitting, sewing, cleaning, cooking,
dressing, talking, walking, speaking, sleeping, coughing, sneezing. Just aim for perfection and the day is near when your in-laws would proudly call you a perfect daughter-in-law.
