Kishmish Nakhot: Valentines Day, Love, & Dating

Valentines Day Episode 
This is the very first episode of Kishmish Nakhot Podcast with Muska & Surya!

We start the show with a disclaimer. We talk about the importance of dating, where to meet people, dating apps to try, and we shared some of disaster dates you had shared with us.  

We also discuss signs of a toxic relationships. 

We understand love & dating is not encouraged in the Afghan community. But the reality is that our generation does date. Generations before us have too but has kept it a secret.  We want to create a platform for our young generation to feel comfortable and have the right to chose their life partner. 

We have all heard the saying "engagement is a time to get to know your partner" but we all know that if God forbid, the couple is not compatible, the families make it next to impossible to break off the engagement. That defeats the purpose of "get engaged first, get to know him/her, then get married him/her."

Bottom-line is, we are all entitled to chose our life partners, even if you believe we are making a mistake. Let it be our own mistakes to make rather than we live your mistake/wrong choice.

Next week, we will discuss Honour Killings. See you next Sunday!
