Laundry - past vs present, Still a woman's job ?

    Laundry the word itself defines to dry the clothes washed, and for ages it has been a woman's job. According to the statistics presented where woman knows and feel the burden. I personally feel it is the problem of the woman who feels that men cannot wash and dry them out correctly and the clothes may fly away and lost.

   The women actually, should give a try and ask the men to do, when they do the laundry- they actually do it better than women as they take time and spread out evenly and dry them correctly as well as fold them neatly.

     Women who face this difficulty, it becomes their duty to train their son's to take up that job as it will be useful to them when they stay away from family during higher studies and when they abroad as they have to do it weather they like it or not. They need not feel the pain then.

Things that define me

"To define me are the words and images that are conducive to expansion an leads to success."

First of all I would like to define myself of all the different images a woman carries with her. Firstly born as a daughter, sister, wife, mother and additionally a professional by being a teacher.

P.C - Google images

      People in my town know me as a teacher who could teach children in a class in three different languages just to see a smile on the face of each and every student. The school in which I was working first, I had to teach the students basically in English language as it was the medium of instruction. But, noticing that no students understood what was taught as they were children of low economic status, and another set of students of the same class, which saw children of families migrated from the norther states of our country who could understand only Hindi. When I as a teacher, explained the less in Tamizh (Tamil) to the first set of children and in Hindi to the other set of children and then the whole class was made to be read in English, by both set of students. By this I satisfied both categories.

The white lace on this blue kurti had to be made according to the size and shape of the neck ,sleeves and the side slits.This is a set of motifs which were attached carefully one by one to make a lace. The neck shape is made with great care and stitched on the dress to give it the best outlook. Here are some snaps after completing my work

Old injuries do hurt sometimes.......

    They say a good impression is a long lasting impression. A man looks smart and dashing only when he is well groomed. On this instance I would like to share an instance down from my diary which relates to my experience with my handsome husband who missed a chance of being selected for a movie.

    The incident dates back to 1996, when we were once invited to a dinner party at my husband's colleague's place as he was celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary. My usually dashing and ever smart was un -occasionally dull as he was held up with office work throughout the week and till the day of the party. He somehow missed shaving his beard as he made it to the get together which was held at a grand resort just outskirts of the city.

Black Kurti with Tatted lace

     The black kurti with a pink and white tatted lace is a continues piece running from neck to the front-line fully and the sleeves together form a 'V' shape pattern of the neck which gives an elegant look to the kurti top. Light pink leggins would suite well along with this anarkali type kurti. It takes many days to make this pattern as it is a running lace made together by attaching sets of flower shaped motifs together to form the lace pattern.

Journey from a college student or a housewife to being a college student and a housewife

    In this blogpost I would like to share this experience down from my memory line, a part of my life journey of transformation where I had to chose from either being a college student or a housewife to being a college student and a housewife by fulfilling both challenges in life.

The first year when I completed my degree of B.A English and stepped into my second year I was married. When entered into in-laws house, where regular college was not allowed to continue, I had o give up studying to be a good housewife. While life was going on with day to day hectic work where I had to serve all the members in the family. Also, after struggling the whole day doing the house old chores like a traditional daughter in law, cooking for the family there was no time left to peruse my regular college . In free time making pickles and papaads and in the evening snacks for the guests and so on kept me occupied.
