Transcript
- 0:02Have you ever noticed the moment you reach a certain age,
- 0:06everyone suddenly becomes very much interested in your marriage
- 0:10plans? Relatives asks, friends asks,
- 0:15families asks, even strangers asks you that when are you
- 0:19getting married? But what people rarely talk
- 0:22about is the pressure that actually comes after marriage,
- 0:26especially when in law dynamics enter the picture, isn't it
- 0:34let's unpack that today in this episode.
- 0:41Hello everyone, I am Doctor Mukun, the road doc welcome back
- 0:47to the road doc podcast. This is the space where I openly
- 0:51talk about life, pressure, expectations and realities of
- 0:55many of us that face in real life and rarely most people talk
- 1:00about that. So in today's episode, something
- 1:04a lot of people experience but do not always speak about
- 1:07openly, like Inla dynamics and the pressure around the
- 1:11marriage. Especially in our culture,
- 1:20marriage isn't about to people. It almost becomes about
- 1:23families, expectations, traditions, opinions and
- 1:26sometimes even control. So basically there is a lot and
- 1:33depending from where you are listening or watching this video
- 1:37from, it can and it may not reciprocate with you but mostly
- 1:44men and women at certain age go go through this thing and let's
- 1:52unpack. If it resonates with you then
- 1:55wonderful, if it doesn't, sure. If everything goes well in life
- 2:03then why we have problems in life?
- 2:05Isn't it right? So we do have problems which
- 2:09means something doesn't go as we planned or so on and so forth.
- 2:13So anyways, let's just get into it.
- 2:17I am going to segment or divide this into few chapters like
- 2:23let's just say, let's just say like marriage expectations
- 2:37because recent times, you know one thing I have been
- 2:41experienced very, very recent times people, once you reach at
- 2:46certain age, especially after 20, if you are a woman then
- 2:52early 20s and if you are a man somewhere around late 20 fives
- 2:59or late 20s I should say hypothetically.
- 3:02But in some cultures they even the marriage pressure is even a
- 3:08little bit further or a little bit back.
- 3:11It depends completely. But if it resonates with you,
- 3:15then take it as a solution. But on the recent times, I have
- 3:21very much recently observed a fact that once you reach certain
- 3:28age, the pressure is becoming a great lot from parental
- 3:34generations and other people more than the person who wants
- 3:39to get married itself. And the reason being very silly
- 3:43these days, you know, like if you are already happy being
- 3:46single, other people don't want to be happy.
- 3:50Kind of kind of a situation, right?
- 3:55So it's like foreignly funny and sometimes, you know, parents and
- 4:05other people there, the pressure is there, like people try to
- 4:11understand, let's understand this in a little bit broader
- 4:16aspect. According to me, I have to tell
- 4:22that otherwise people might take it wrong.
- 4:27First things first, marriage is basically optional if you want,
- 4:36if you are ready for the marriage, if you are ready for
- 4:39the challenges and the complications and also there
- 4:43will be good things as well with that too.
- 4:47Sure, but you are also ready for the bad things that comes or
- 4:53disadvantage that comes with the marriage.
- 4:56Then only you have to think deeper and clearly before
- 5:01getting good. Otherwise what will happen, Your
- 5:05life will be completely ruined. You will be completely
- 5:09devastated for sure. So that's why I suggest like,
- 5:20like I have talked with many people, those who recently got
- 5:23married and so on and so forth. Now don't ask me, did you also
- 5:27talk about marriage with your patients?
- 5:29Did they tell this all this? There is been a significant
- 5:35amount of people saying that but their age group is mentally
- 5:39different. But I will tell you real case
- 5:41scenarios. Few of my known colleagues are
- 5:47in the same age group people they got married and this is
- 5:50what they told me. Marriage is all good for certain
- 5:55point of time. After that, you will have to
- 6:00face the real consequences after certain point of attack.
- 6:06I'm not saying I'm not believing marriage is bad or marriage is
- 6:09good. It's an individual decision that
- 6:13you have to take at certain point whether you wanted to get
- 6:18married or not. It's up to you completely.
- 6:23But all I'm going to tell is very simple that don't get
- 6:30married from external pressures and our parental pressures or
- 6:36your close relative pressures to get married and so on and so
- 6:39forth. Don't get married for wrong
- 6:41reasons. That's all I am trying to say.
- 6:43If you really want to get settled down in life and you
- 6:46want a stable thing or you want to, you are at a place where
- 6:51mentally, physically I am OK, where I am right now.
- 6:55Now I have time to get settled or now it's time to get married
- 7:00etcetera etcetera. Then fine, go with it.
- 7:04But never ever ever choose marriage as a escape from XYZ
- 7:09problems or this and that. If you do that, you will ruin
- 7:12your own life. So first part of the life
- 7:16anyways, your parents or your relatives or other people or
- 7:20whatever, it got ruined let's just say hypothetically.
- 7:24And the next phase of your life you are going to ruin it in the
- 7:28name of marriage. You are so screwed because why?
- 7:32You will only be with your parents maybe for 20 or 30 years
- 7:35Max. Rest of the whole life you have
- 7:38to be with that person traditionally.
- 7:44So if you screw that up now, 1 can help you now.
- 7:51So I mean you can get out of the situations, that's not the
- 7:55problem. But psychologically, physically,
- 7:57mentally, you invest so much amount of time etcetera,
- 8:03etcetera, that hits a nerve and you will understand when you are
- 8:09there in that boat. So yeah, especially for guys.
- 8:15I'm going to tell because I know my audiences are if you want to
- 8:23get married and for whatever reason you did not achieve your
- 8:28dreams, you did not achieve your goals yet in your life, then
- 8:34don't, don't even think about marriage.
- 8:38Because if you are in your early 20s, late 20s, fine.
- 8:44For men it's like a wild card we have like we can get married
- 8:51whenever we want kind of a thing.
- 8:53If once you are at a mental state where you are fine like I
- 8:59am good now I am, it's time for me to step out into next thing
- 9:06and so on and so forth fine. But for women it's different
- 9:10thing because purely stopping from biological aspects.
- 9:15Nothing. I am not trying to discriminate
- 9:17anyone here, but just saying men attains full youth by 30,
- 9:23approximately 28 to 30. Let's just say women attains
- 9:28that by 15 years or 13 years beginning and then it might
- 9:36reach to the peak by 3035. That's just pure science.
- 9:41I am not saying, I am not saying that even in there, there are
- 9:46still cases that women got conceived for pregnancies around
- 9:5135, age 39. I have even seen in Obigaini
- 9:58while I was working there as an intern, back while I was
- 10:03studying my medicine course. So during that time I even saw
- 10:10people are conceiving around 3839, even 4041 too.
- 10:17So it is very rare but there is still a chance.
- 10:20But we cannot say that so purely from biological perspective.
- 10:27So yeah, I mean different cultures, different people,
- 10:31different things has different different outcomes.
- 10:35Of course, I do not know whether it exists in India.
- 10:40I am not sure because I did not see any evidence here.
- 10:44But in abroad, I did not see the evidence that people are still
- 10:48getting conceived at higher age groups especially in females.
- 10:53So that is a whole different dynamics right there.
- 10:56So it all depends but it is very subjective.
- 10:59But the same for men particularly we have like
- 11:06financial clock kind of a thing. So if you are not ready with
- 11:11that financial clock or you are just knowing yourself better and
- 11:18you are not ready for whatever reason can be, it doesn't need
- 11:21to make sense to anyone. If you feel like you are not
- 11:25ready, then you are not ready. Case closed.
- 11:28Do not put yourself pressures, both men and women.
- 11:32When you feel like you are ready, then you are ready.
- 11:35If you are not, you are not Case closed.
- 11:38Alright, have a great life, now let's move on to the next one.
- 11:44The reality of Inlet Dynamics marriage doesn't only just build
- 11:49a relationship with that person, it also comes with whole
- 11:52package. Now you are also entering into
- 11:56whole different family system as well.
- 11:59So that family systems can also have different values, different
- 12:02expectations, personalities. And sometimes that can be very,
- 12:06very healthy, supportive, beautiful.
- 12:10And sometimes it can also become very complicated.
- 12:16Like we have to talk about both, both sides here.
- 12:20You cannot take one side. So if, if everything, like I
- 12:25said in the beginning of this episode, if everything goes
- 12:28good, then where is the problem? There is no problem.
- 12:31If everything that does not go good or as expected or healthy
- 12:35or beautiful, that is when the problem comes.
- 12:37The moment the problem comes, your energy will be wasted, your
- 12:40time will be wasted, your efforts will be wasted, you will
- 12:43be introduced into new traumas. That's a whole lots of things
- 12:49you are going to unpack. So it's not that easy as we
- 12:52think. So think before you make the
- 12:56decision, Think through, think through, think through.
- 12:59I am here to give you the power, good side, bad side of
- 13:03everything, but I am not going to make a choice.
- 13:06You need to think, analysis what's best for you and then
- 13:10make a choice. So that's what I am doing here.
- 13:13I hope you get it. Let's move on to the next
- 13:18segment, personal autonomy. One thing I strongly believe is
- 13:22that marriage should never cost your individuality.
- 13:26That's what I believe personally and also I think that's how
- 13:32marriage should be like 2 individual personalities come
- 13:36together, not like half half personalities like complete good
- 13:39bad words, great, whatever and also complete good bad words,
- 13:44great whatever. So both the things combined and
- 13:48then you form a beautiful bond. If you are very much proactively
- 13:56fixing your marriage is a work guys, by the way, I am telling
- 14:01you marriage is a work like everything needs to work.
- 14:04It's a work. It's a work, work, work.
- 14:07Marriage is not just like OK, you got married everything.
- 14:10No, no, no, no, no, absolutely not.
- 14:13It's a lot of work. You will have to do both the
- 14:17patterns above the individuals that who gets married has to
- 14:22consistently work on it. That's when it will work.
- 14:26Otherwise it won't. Yeah, it's a lot of work.
- 14:31But that's why those two individual patterns supports.
- 14:38They needs to know their love language and they needs to focus
- 14:42on each other's well-being and so on and so forth.
- 14:46Like for example, the complicated things can be like
- 14:49careers, jobs, passions, those things should be there apart
- 14:58from what you like in that person.
- 15:02Like you know most people, what they will do these days, this is
- 15:05what I'm doing. Apart from liking your partner,
- 15:08you also need to have other things like hobbies, etcetera,
- 15:13etcetera to keep you occupied, to keep you going in life.
- 15:19Because anything is great in the beginning and after that one or
- 15:27two, three years of that phase passes by, That's when
- 15:31everything becomes not so great because now you need to do the
- 15:38real work. That's called marriage or any
- 15:42relationship. It's the same thing.
- 15:44But the point is, even though you do all those things, there
- 15:48is no guarantee that the desired outcome can come there or not.
- 15:53We have no idea. No one knows.
- 15:55You have to try it yourself. But before that, you need to
- 15:57have that confidence that you want to figure it out.
- 16:00If you don't want, for example, for medical professionals like
- 16:04me, my life is going to be very complicated.
- 16:08I am just giving an example reference very complicated
- 16:13because normally medical professional life is a
- 16:17complicated one. You take my life personally,
- 16:21this is going to be even even like 10 times complicated
- 16:25because I do like 10 to 100 things at once and the amount of
- 16:31time energy I am going to invest in certain certain things is
- 16:35crazy out of charts. That's why if you go through my
- 16:39channel and if you find where I one side, I am doing this
- 16:44podcast, the other side, whenever I get time, I do also
- 16:48travelling and you might think like, how are both things
- 16:52happening? No, no, both are not happening
- 16:54at the same time. I am just scheduling everything
- 16:58ahead of time and I follow certain format so that
- 17:04everything comes at certain certain point.
- 17:07Especially now I took break from my job delicately because I am I
- 17:13dedicated my time almost a decade to the medical field and
- 17:16I deserved like I need some time off from the field for myself
- 17:22finally. So that's why I am travelling.
- 17:24And if you want to check those videos out, you can also check
- 17:29my recent Malaysia videos at the time of Justice recording
- 17:33Malaysia playlist so you can find if you enjoy it, great.
- 17:38Just giving an output like for average human being, what will
- 17:44be the life they will be like, OK, we will go to age of nine to
- 17:49five or five to 9, whatever the time.
- 17:52And then we will have marriage time and this and that, so on
- 17:57and so forth and so on and so forth.
- 17:58Like we will have that. For people like us, like in
- 18:03medical professionals, we have no idea.
- 18:10It can be empty. One day we will be in home.
- 18:13One day we will be not. One day we will be in hospital.
- 18:15One day we will be in no idea, don't know, no guarantee.
- 18:21And also even the worst part, doctors and medical
- 18:24professionals, whoever working. Our sleep cycles are messed up,
- 18:28our emotional states are messed up, our food cycles are messed
- 18:32up. We are highly volatile, very
- 18:36much stressed with everything and so on and so forth.
- 18:43So basically for me or for any medical professionals or that
- 18:49can be not just doctors that can be nurses, anyone like whoever
- 18:53in the medical professional space, life is going to be
- 18:57crazy, crazy hard. That's why you see this
- 19:00frequent. People are getting married in
- 19:02the same profession is because of that.
- 19:07Yeah, regular people, normal people, they, they can't
- 19:11understand that. I know that very well because I
- 19:15used to have like couple of friends back in 2025.
- 19:20Now I don't have that kind of friendship anymore because I
- 19:24like to speak truth no matter what.
- 19:27So the more you speak truth, people don't like to hear truth,
- 19:31they just like to hear something sweet.
- 19:34But anyways, the more your you say something from your medical
- 19:40experiences, they get traumatized just hearing this
- 19:44stuff. Then imagine people like us
- 19:51going through there every single day and then coming back home
- 19:55and again. We are repeating the same cycle
- 19:57again and again again again and again.
- 19:59Like just a regular some. I will give an example someone
- 20:04dead just right now. Hypothetically, when you are in
- 20:09duty, it is just a regular normal day for medical
- 20:13professionals, but same thing for normal human beings.
- 20:21Someone dared. People will go like what?
- 20:25Someone then? So I am sorry, I am laughing,
- 20:29but that is the brutal reality of it.
- 20:34You know, something that becomes very normal to us because we
- 20:39spent a lot. That's why doctors, nurses, we
- 20:43are kind of crazy because we spent a lot of time seeing crazy
- 20:50stuff. So obviously we are used to
- 20:56that. And for normal people, if this
- 20:58is like very craziest things, unfortunately, unfortunately
- 21:06that's the truth. So anyways, I hope you get the
- 21:09point here. OK, let's move on, moving on to
- 21:17societal pressure kind of a thing in many societies,
- 21:22especially in Southeast Asia or South Asia in general.
- 21:28Mostly parents see this marriage thing as a milestone that they
- 21:32must happen within. Like parents have like this, OK,
- 21:37this certain timeline, this marriage has to happen otherwise
- 21:41we will marry my daughter or we will marry my son blah, blah,
- 21:45blah, blah, blah, blah. But the reality is everyone
- 21:48lives moves differently. I know this pressure exists and
- 21:53we cannot blame parents for that as well.
- 21:57Now you might think in previous episodes you are ramping up and
- 22:01saying parents are doing this and that.
- 22:03Now you are saying you cannot blame yeah because the topics
- 22:08are different. I am not against everyone or
- 22:11anyone and I am not supporting anyone, either parent or
- 22:16children. I am just trying to navigate.
- 22:19The whole purpose of this podcast is basically trying to
- 22:23navigate looking in a 360 view as much as possible and knowing
- 22:29here there might need a corruption or communication,
- 22:33here there was a old tactic, it might not work Oregon habit may
- 22:38not work in the new generation. It is a more about understanding
- 22:42only. That is the whole purpose of
- 22:44this the road of podcast not for blaming or not for taking one
- 22:50side or another. Its is more of a deeper
- 22:53understanding through segments. That's why I give you case
- 22:58scenarios, that's why I give you real life based stories and all
- 23:03those things is because to change a little bit of
- 23:06perspective or tell you that there are different ways to as
- 23:13much as I understand in my life, I purely talk from my
- 23:17experiences, what I understand through my medical profession so
- 23:23far and my personal experiences and other people experiences
- 23:27that they share with me and other encounters that I had and
- 23:33so on and so forth. I will also give you one good
- 23:36example. You know, when I was going to in
- 23:39Malaysia, when I went to Malaysia trip in 2026, January,
- 23:48when I had going in Grab from Kuala Lumpur International
- 23:54Airport to Robertson Suites, which is in Kuala Lumpur Central
- 24:00Kuala Lumpur kind of a thing, I was going in the Grab.
- 24:05So the Grab, who is driving the Grab SAR was very, very humble.
- 24:14Like he is like very gentleman kind.
- 24:19He is like he loves his kids, his wife and so on and so forth.
- 24:23Because every time I ask a question he always mention his
- 24:27kids names and he always talks about his kids like I want my
- 24:33kids to be happy. I want my kids to grow up good,
- 24:38great. Like the positive narration, he
- 24:42always comes up with that positive kind of narration again
- 24:45and again and again, no matter what.
- 24:47And about wife as well and all those things.
- 24:50And to a random stranger, because I am a random stranger,
- 24:53right? To a random stranger, nobody is
- 24:56going to tell that many times until they have very, very good
- 25:01intentions in their heart. Which means he has had a very
- 25:07positive, grateful experience with the family dynamics, with
- 25:12the marriage, with the children and everything.
- 25:15That doesn't mean he doesn't have hardships, but there is
- 25:19support during that hardships. There is a people standing for
- 25:24it. That matters a lot.
- 25:26And if you can get that kind of a thing, that's what I'm trying
- 25:29to do. You can get that kind of a
- 25:31family, that kind of a dynamic or that kind of a partner.
- 25:35If you can choose wisely, then your life can be and will be so
- 25:43much better in so many ways that I can tell.
- 25:48But if it goes other ways around, you are screwed.
- 25:55That is why when we talk about societal pressure, you should
- 25:59never marry because there is a something called like, Oh no,
- 26:03your grandfather is dying so you get married.
- 26:06So you will see your marriage before he dies.
- 26:09Then tell them if you are not ready, you die.
- 26:14Just because you are dying, that does not mean that I need to get
- 26:18married now, right? You die peacefully.
- 26:23That will be a best, best, wonderful answer.
- 26:27So yeah, generally the society puts a pressure I invisible
- 26:32pressure like when you are going to get married and when you are
- 26:36trying to get friend it these pressures will never end.
- 26:40People you need to understand because once you get married
- 26:43then they will ask about when you are going to have child,
- 26:46when you get child, when what they are going to become.
- 26:49And then this cycle continues at every phase of life, especially
- 26:55when society is nothing but group of people.
- 26:59You know, you talk in a daily sense, nothing much.
- 27:02So I suggest not to take it so seriously.
- 27:07If people asks you are all those things.
- 27:11It doesn't matter end of the day, if you are ready, if you
- 27:15are ready, if you are not, if you are not.
- 27:17Let's move on to the most important factor here, emotional
- 27:22balance. This is the real challenge,
- 27:27learning how to balance your own emotions and your own families
- 27:32emotions, your partner emotions and their families emotions too.
- 27:39And also while you have to do that by protecting your
- 27:42boundaries too. Wow, that is not an easy task I
- 27:48am telling you. So you need to ask certain
- 27:52questions to yourself emotionally how you prepared for
- 27:56it at least. Even though no matter what you
- 27:59have prepared, some things in life definitely go out of your
- 28:02control that we can't do anything but that's fine.
- 28:06But at least ask yourself a question that Are you ready for
- 28:10what you are asking for? Are you willing to go through
- 28:13what you are willing through? Because once you get married and
- 28:16if you start blaming, Oh my marriage did not work because I
- 28:20am not emotionally ready, especially women says this a
- 28:23lot. Women regrets getting married
- 28:27with a wrong person because they think at that point of which I
- 28:32was emotionally high, that's why I was emotionally happy.
- 28:37That is the reason why you should not make a decision
- 28:41because this is the bigger decision in life.
- 28:45Should not make a decision based on purely emotions because all
- 28:51sorts of emotions will go high and then low and then high and
- 28:56then low like a wave. It will just go.
- 29:00And when you make a decision when you are high, happy or
- 29:04anything and when you go low, then you will be like why did I
- 29:07make any these things? So I suggest should be on a
- 29:12neutral ground when you are making a decision and the moment
- 29:17you make your decision, you have to try to stick by it until
- 29:23before you make that decision. Step into marriage, you can
- 29:26think a lot however you want to think how much time you want to
- 29:30take. But once you did take that
- 29:33decision and did stay at that point, then try to stick by it
- 29:40because the hardest part is not just getting married.
- 29:43The hardest part is actually staying in that marriage for a
- 29:50long periods of time. That is the actual hardest part.
- 29:54Not just get married. Because whether you believe it
- 29:57or not, people are getting married and they are getting
- 30:00divorced in like 1 to two years. And I don't need to even tell
- 30:07even from the celebrities. Whatever you know or whoever you
- 30:11see on your favorite platforms to normal people, everyone is
- 30:17maintaining external affairs. So these days marriage is
- 30:22becoming a bigger scam than ever because most people are
- 30:27complaining like oh there is an underlying thing for the
- 30:30marriage failures as well that nobody talks.
- 30:34But I have a doctor, I will talk it openly anyway.
- 30:36I don't care. Sexual pleasures and the absence
- 30:45of sex in a marriage is the number one Causeway for the
- 30:53divorce and for the people international audience.
- 30:57If you don't understand what is divorce, I know in some
- 31:00countries the word divorce itself doesn't exist.
- 31:04I have been those two countries. I have seen that.
- 31:07So for them I am going to explain what is divorce.
- 31:11Divorce is basically legally two partners who got married getting
- 31:16separated legally stating that we are separating only legal
- 31:22procedure process is called divorce.
- 31:26Now coming back to the absence of sexual pleasures, yes, that
- 31:31is the number one driving Causeway for most wrecked
- 31:36marriages and mostly for infidelity and so on.
- 31:41External affairs and almost 90% of marriage failures are
- 31:48happening in this because you have to talk this because if a
- 31:53man or a woman are not sexually active in marriage or they do
- 31:59not want that sex thing to happen or so on and so forth.
- 32:03And all these things enters in chart once we get marriage and
- 32:09one, at least one person is not satisfied here.
- 32:13Whatever things you did not communicate properly before
- 32:16marriage, so on and so forth and so on and so forth.
- 32:20All these things will add up. And then one day it will become
- 32:25like a small problem to over compounding and then it becomes
- 32:30a bigger, larger problem where you cannot talk or solve with
- 32:36communication anymore. The moment that becomes, that's
- 32:40when it leads to the marriage. And keep in mind, I mean, sorry,
- 32:44divorce. And keep in mind, if a divorce
- 32:49happen in your early 20s and you don't have a kid, that's a whole
- 32:52different story. If divorces happen when you are
- 32:55in your 50s or 60s and your kids are grown up, imagine that.
- 33:06Crazy isn't it? Things are happening in real
- 33:09life. I am seeing this pattern a lot
- 33:13since 20/15/2016. This has increased a lot overall
- 33:19because while I was in my Med school right in their culture,
- 33:26we had like fun game like you need to find who is the father
- 33:37from teenage girls to women or 303 five.
- 33:43If anyone comes to the hospital saying stomach pain this and
- 33:48that, no matter what, no matter what first thing they is gonna
- 33:54do is go get the pregnancy test. For women especially, it
- 33:59brutally happens because most of the times most patients will
- 34:05lie. Now you can say 15 years even
- 34:10less. Yes it might be very, very
- 34:12shocking but I have seen those things.
- 34:15Even 13 year old, 15 year old got pregnant and they gave birth
- 34:20to the child as well. Yes, these things happened.
- 34:23I saw that with my own eyes and I am telling you its yeah it is
- 34:29true. So what would they do is simply
- 34:34ask all the women in reproductive age group.
- 34:38No matter what your problem is, first you need to get a
- 34:40pregnancy test. Once you are proved you are not
- 34:45pregnant then they will do ultrasound.
- 34:48Yes it might sound crazy but true because sometimes it might
- 34:53miss in pregnancy test. We never know.
- 34:58There is a 1% chance of anything that can go and then they will
- 35:03do ultrasound after that confirming there are no fetus or
- 35:09nodule pregnancy anything. Then they will do any other
- 35:14thing until then they will not do.
- 35:17Specially this happens for women and the fun part is for us as an
- 35:23interns to find out fam father. That was like a miraculous thing
- 35:30because her teen girls comes there mother or father doesn't
- 35:34know this teen girl has a boyfriend or a partner to start
- 35:38with. And then their parents would be
- 35:41so shocked that their kid is pregnant.
- 35:46Let's just say their teenage girl is pregnant and they will
- 35:50be like they will start arguing with us other doctors there and
- 35:55like we did not expect this, we didn't blah blah blah.
- 35:57So what we do is we completely separate parents from that point
- 36:02and then ask the teenage 1 the whole history of her dating
- 36:08pool. And when we get the whole
- 36:11history of the dating pool, we get lots of names, not just one
- 36:15or two. And I am not judging anyone here
- 36:17by the way. And now we will be sitting there
- 36:22knowing we don't know who is the father and when parents comes
- 36:26and asks us Doc, who is the father now who did this?
- 36:33And we had no idea because now we have to call all the multiple
- 36:39partners and then make sure who was the last one, who was the
- 36:45first one? We have no idea.
- 36:48So these things do exist in some parts of the places in the
- 36:52world. That's why I have crazy, crazy
- 36:55experiences in while I was studying medicine and so on.
- 36:59Because I am not blaming anyone, but you know, this is, this
- 37:03happens because of lack of education, lack of awareness,
- 37:08what you can expect from teenage nothing.
- 37:13So these things are part of life.
- 37:15We cannot blame anyone or any person.
- 37:19It happens. But yeah, these things do
- 37:23happen. These two exist in real life.
- 37:26Most people may may not know this.
- 37:29Like I said, that's why I like to interact with people more
- 37:32because you can hear crazy amount of stories that you think
- 37:39you know everything about life, but that will make you humble In
- 37:43oh point 3 seconds. Literally I am telling you in oh
- 37:47point 3 to 5 seconds, you will be humbled.
- 37:51Like what is this even a possibility?
- 37:55Yeah, so that's why I like to talk about all these topics in
- 38:02general is because I would like to hear from you in the
- 38:06comments. The Internet is a wonderful
- 38:09space where you can share your stories openly and I would like
- 38:14to hear from you that gives me a little bit more insights about
- 38:21how your culture works or your thing works.
- 38:25That's why I like to do this. I love doing this podcasts and
- 38:30my videos and so on and so forth is because once you start
- 38:35commenting your own stories or crazy things, it becomes crazy,
- 38:43crazy awesome to know that this exists and we can take at least
- 38:49you know, precautionary measures or we can start awareness
- 38:55ultimate. At least that's just how I think
- 39:03probably. I don't know, I might sound
- 39:05crazy to lot of people. I do understand that, but that's
- 39:08OK. Anyways, so I would like to
- 39:14conclude this episode. If ever you are feeling
- 39:20pressured about marriage right now, just remember 1 simple
- 39:24thing. Your life timeline belongs to
- 39:29you. Not to everyone else around you
- 39:34but you. The relationship should bring
- 39:39peace to you, your growth. And it should be like not 5057%
- 39:46partnerships, it should be like 100 percent, 100%, not from the
- 39:52pressure or loss of your identity.
- 39:58So yeah, take your time, build your life, and when the right
- 40:04movement comes, it will make sense to you.
- 40:08Then you get married. That's what I want to say.
- 40:12Nothing else. It doesn't doesn't.
- 40:15If you don't want to get married at all, fine, 100% fine.
- 40:18What is wrong with that? You can dedicate your whole
- 40:21life. To something great, you can
- 40:26become someone great and so on and so forth.
- 40:29Just me. Marriage is not an end goal.
- 40:32It's just a part of life. If you want to skip it, you can
- 40:35skip it no problem. It's all about you and what you
- 40:39want in your life. That's all.
- 40:42So I think that's all for now. So thank you so much for
- 40:46listening to this podcast. If this episode resonated with
- 40:54you, how you feel, share it with someone who might need to hear
