00:00My mom doesn't allow me to come into the puja room, doesn't let me touch goddesses during my menstrual days.
00:06You know, warns me like you shouldn't be doing that.
00:09That fear factor she tries to push into my head.

00:26I'm pretty sure that if one is continuously vomiting, one wants to take care of that first before entering a

01:15He's called God.
01:17It's a very private thing.

01:26That's the criteria.
01:27No other criteria.
