👵🏽 Mother-in-law: The traditional way is the right way — duty, discipline, and devotion!
👰🏽♀️ Daughter-in-law: Modern efficiency is the real progress — autonomy, balance, and success!
If you get into the trap of who’s right n wrong, trust me you are screwed up for life...🥴

📜 Anekāntavāda enters the picture here, sipping chai thoughtfully...
"Technically, you’re both right — just from different viewpoints. One’s seeing the teacup, the other’s the saucer — but the chai’s hot either way!" ☕
Wondering what is this Anekāntavāda.🤔
This famous elephant story describes it like no other.

A group of blind men encountered an elephant for the first time. Each touched a different part and described it based on their limited experience:
Side? "It’s like a wall!"
Tusk? "No, it’s like a spear!"
Trunk? "It’s a snake!"
Leg? "Obviously a tree!"
Ear? "It’s a fan!"
Tail? "Clearly a rope!"

Each was partially right—but none had the full truth. Anekantavada teaches us that our perspectives are limited, shaped by our experiences. No single viewpoint captures the whole reality.

In Everyday Life:
👁🗨We argue because we believe our view is absolute.
👁🗨We judge others without seeing their full story.
👁🗨We make choices without considering all angles. Anekantavada reminds us: There’s always more to the truth.

🛖 When applied to Indian family life, Anekāntavāda reminds us:
🎲Truth has many angles — even within the same house!
🎲Listening doesn’t mean agreeing, but it does mean honoring each person’s lens.
🎲The goal isn’t to “win” the argument, but to blend wisdom like a perfect spice mix — a little hing from Amma, a dash of chilies🌶️ from Bahu.😉
