00:00Why are some social norms told to be followed that don't make any sense?

00:04For example, we apply mehendi in marriage. What's the use?

00:08When I was your age, I would ask much the same question.

00:13And I had actually never imagined that the questions would survive even after 25 years.

00:22You were told that something like this exists.

00:24So whatever the mehendi thing is, it's continuing since 10 generations.

00:28So the 11th one is repeating it.

00:30What is the logic? The 10 generations are the logic.

00:32Is there some logic? Yes, there is a great logic.

00:34The logic is called Dadima.

00:36She did that, so I too am repeating that. That is the logic.
