Toe rings – Those lovely bits of jewelry worn on toes, pretty, I love them, I wear them ,change them and use them to show off my feet 🙂 especially in summer. yes yes I’m vain like that. Sometimes Ms.A asks if she can wear them . oh absolutely , we found a baby one with a heart on top for her and she wore it in her pinky toe. Yes, she kept bumping into things admiring her feet the whole time 🙂
To me it’s an ornament and that’s that. Now I see a new post in Facebook ( my evil time sucker) making the rounds about how there is a scientific reason for wearing it. Apparently it regularized your cycle and makes your uterus top class and even the western women are wearing it !!! I couldn’t believe it when I read it. Seriously, who thinks up such garbage and western women are the scientific standard nowadays?
oh lest I be called unscientific , Lets take for a fact that it’s a fantastic proven thing and is indeed a great uterus regulator, why would we need only our married women to wear it. Why should only they avail of a regulated Uterus, can’t puberty hit teens wear it so they can have an easier regular time. How about single women , they don’t crave regular periods ? or don’t they deserve it?
Why oh why do we take a wonderful piece of jewelry and mangle it into something that is a power play, mandate it and forbid it etc., why can’t we appreciate it for its beauty and let the wearer decide if he/she wants to use it and why do we need to send this around on Facebook making us all look like idiots.
Does our culture need this much protecting? makes me want to fling my toe rings in the ocean except that I have a fine collection , makes my feet pretty and my daughter would have a fit. oh well such is life I guess.
Recipes and Random thoughts 
Seriously? You think this is funny?
Havent you heard of accupunture for fertility? exercise for fertility?
You will believe in all of that but not your culture’s small practice?
Have YOU proved this theory otherwise? I would like to know more if so!
Again, I dont wear toe rings all the time but then, i wont fight or mock if someone told me it had some benefits.
You are one of those Indians who “tries” to act and be like an American. Stop wining about the Country you were born in and culture you came from. If you cant be proud of being an Indian, your birth country – I am stumbled. People like you show India and our culture in such a poor light to the world. Shame on you!
Try to stop acting like you are a modern Non-Indian and try to value your culture.
If not – at least stop rambling!
There is nothing very clltural about toe rings, its a decoration plain and simple,
State it as such and be done, dont come up with idiotic explanations.
Im not a north indian, or trying to act like one.
Im actually a toe ring wearing for beauty person.
why is it so offensive to culture to say i wear the toe ring because i like it.
there is no proven scientific fact. so its wrong to saythere is.
why is culture dragged into everything. is it so fragile that it cant stand on its own merits.
people blindly spouting stupidity calling it culture show us in bad light,
living truthfully, accepting our uniqueness and not needing to justify our choices garner us respect.
and since its my blog I can rant all i want 🙂 , you always have the option of not reading .
Interesting. I’ve never worn them after the customary wedding ceremony but the “scientific reasoning” is hilarious!
There’s a whole host of the scientific BS Malu, and you’d be amazed at the amount of likes it gets.. major confusion between nervous system/ circulatory system etc., magnets, poles etc., etc., a good 10th std lesson in physics and biology is in order.
