her night dress, when Suresh entered. He saw her and said,"You have not yet slept. I am sooo tired,I

You have illustrated the difference between a man of the house and the lady brilliantly Ushaji, household chores never end, they just cycle along with the clock.
ReplyDeleteYou are right Reshma, only thing is that men must not take women for granted.
DeleteBoth the partners should share the chores and household activities ... very beautifully stated points here.
ReplyDeleteCorrect, Amrit. Both must share the household chores.
DeleteThe work of a woman in her home is never ending!! And the sad part is that men still say, "What do you do the whole day long?"
ReplyDeleteYou are right Shilpa. If they swap roles for one day, they will know the truth.
Deleteghar ghar ki kahani!! bulls eye!
ReplyDeleteThank you Titli. Men will always remain the same and women will not change.
DeleteI think sometimes as a Woman we feel its soley our responsibility to do all the household chores. I dont blame men for not sharing the household chores because if we dont express the need to be helped how will they know ??
ReplyDeleteAnanya, these days most of the women go out for work. If men do not volunteer to help, the burden will be too much for the women.
