Really good question - love it! I say vitten and make my friends say it too if we say anything negative or bad even for fun. Dunno if the devas on top are really listening and saying thathathu for everything :)

I still try my best to wash my hair at the end of my period 🤷🏻‍♀️
Oh, and I never hand someone scissors, always put them down.

D1, no idea. Actually there are a lot of stuff like that which may have a logic or not. Unfortunately, we just follow instructions and have never been curious to ask.

Fellow Fish with little kids.
My son is just over a year and has been a mommy's boy since the day he was born. This weekend he came to Daddy over Mommy and has been wanting me to pick him up more. I felt so useless during his first few months because he was so attached to his mom, but now I finally feel the love he has been giving mommy and my heart feels full.
Just wanted to share a good story with my fellow fish and hope it brightens your day.

Hey all, US born Tam Brahm here. Hope this isn’t too sensitive a topic to ask about, but for all those with deeper Indian roots than I do (born in or living in India), can you please explain why some people posit that even having this chat perpetuates the negative parts of a caste system? My perhaps naive perspective is that Brahmins are a caste but also a religious subsect. One can be religious and seek similar devotees without believing in or perpetuating caste hierarchy. Reductive or fair?
