Shasvathi Siva starts off on a rather chilling note, mentioning the spineless nature of our society. Marriage and its ideas in the world creep up on everyone, and she talks about some of her own experiences. The ideas of simply not marrying are rarely talked about, and the shame associated with divorce or even its contemplation, is too high. Though she believes in the idea that one can be happy alone, she also recognizes the difficulty in making peace with divorce. Talking about our ideas of society, she also stressed on the importance of a consistent and present support system. There is power in familiarity and she aims to make this a more talked-about and commonly present thought. Shasvathi Siva is a Mumbai-goer who was born and brought up in Chennai. She is a writer with a deep passion for vegan cooking who has worked in Advertising. She currently runs Cowvathi, a startup specialising in vegan cheese. Besides the aforementioned, she has also jumpstarted conversations on divorces and the stigma surrounding divorce after her divorce. Since then, several people have reached out to her to share their own stories. She believes that a divorce does not spell the end for anyone; it’s a part of life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
