How can I translate the following Hindi sentence into English? "Kal do prakar k hote hain."
Well it is impossible to have a literal translation of this sentence into English because unlike Hindi, English doesn’t use a common word for yesterday and tomorrow.The closest translation would be ‘That you faced difficulties in your past, and you have a brighter tomorrow to look up to’
I politely declined an expensive gift from my future mother in law and then she humiliatied me in retaliation?
Just to add, my fiancé had mixed feelings about this incident. He HATED how his mother reacted to me. He was embarrassed and thought it was very inappropriate. However, he didn't really care for the fact that I returned it either. He understands why I did it, but he thinks it would have saved trouble if I had just accepted it. He told me I could have just threw it in my jewelry box and never worn it if it was that big of a deal. But I'm even more uncomfortable keeping $1,000 in my jewelry box and letting it collect dust. I thought if anything, his mom should get her money back.
Promise ring? what happens if...?
you break it? i dont have one but i know some people that do. do u just not wear it anymore? and people go "hey what happened to ur promise ring? and u go...? do u "go to hell" or depending on ur religion
Should I have been included in Brother-in-laws wedding somewhere?
A few months back my brother in law became engaged to a wonderful woman, our family is very happy for them both. My soon to be sister in law and her mom went immediately into planning mode and soon details like the wedding date, hotel location and wedding party were announced. This will be a good sized affair with more then 200 guests, well into the $50,000 range because her family can afford to provide such a nice day. The wedding party will have 6 bridesmaids and groomsmen, my husband was asked to be best man. Meanwhile both mothers have been involved with dress shopping for the bride and bridesmaids, flower arrangements, table settings and any manner of other details. None of which I have been included in, unless you count an off hand offer to see the pictures after the fact. Now I am not particularly close to the bride and had no specific expectations, but finding myself completely out of the planning, wedding party and excitement is making me feel like the odd 'woman' out. I get that this is not my day but it is a family event where I am apparently just a guest, while my husband will be front and center with the happy couple and in many of the pictures...with her maid of honor. I'm fully prepared to suck it up and be a good guest but am I wrong to feel a bit slighted or am I overreacting??
Eloping tomorrow! What am I forgetting?
Where we are we don't need witnesses. My parents freaked out and nearly disowned me when I announced my engagement to them, though everyone else we knew was very glad for us and quite expected it. My parents came up with things like my being brainwashed and forced to marry. 0-^ My mother twisted up a bunch of lies between my father and I, etc. It goes on and on. The first 3 months of our engagement was hell. Also, my sister was ill for a month this spring, two family members recently found out about cancer, my grandfather was laid off, my father lost half his income for 4 months due to a job change, and so on. I was talking to my sister yesterday, she agreed that we should elope and have a big reception on our 1st anniversary or something like that. She thinks it's dumb that we've waited like we have. My perspective on elopement: my grandparents were eloped at 18 and 19. Their first anniversary they wrote letters as gifts. They're in their 60s now and beyond in love. I want that.
