Ideally, anyone can argue this point but in reality we try to become what others expect from us, whether its our parents, teachers, managers, friends or that sig. other. The stereotype, as pointed out about pressure to get married early, or the expecation of being a nurturing mothers and a respectfull daughters just goes to show the ignorance many women have growing up. All of these things have little or nothing to do with the "desi" culture and none of these attributes represent a "goodie two shoes" stature. These attributes are expectations of a conservative culture and they are a bigger part of the social fabric of every major society, whether it be white, black or otherwise. These expectations stem from a conservative ideology, which is often unyielding to change and tends to be less liberal, ( being liberal ofcourse is what many of us consider to be the status quo) so to quantify these conservative values in mere terms of a lackluster bucketlist of the south asian culture is a stretch. you dont have to get drunk, party or stand up to your values to find out who you are. The key is balance, the sooner you figure it out, the better off you will be. lets get real, whether your a guy or a girl, you have to give a hoot about what the world thinks, after all our sense of who we are comes from those around us.

But at the end of the day, it's really all about YOU yourself. If you give a hoot about external pressures then eventually they will crush you. If you don't give a hoot and do what YOU want to do (as long as it is always the RIGHT thing) - then you have nothing to worry about at all and you can go to sleep knowing that you are being true to yourself and putting yourself first before others.
