Am I really lucky?

Am I really lucky?

I usually hear from my friends and family members that I am fortunate because my husband cooks food.

I appreciate that my husband cooks food but it doesn't mean I am lucky. My husband believes in equality, so he shares house chores with me, not only cooking, he shares laundry, mopping, grooming, and even dishes when I am so much busy or the maid is on leave. (and It doesn't mean I am not doing any house chores.) I think it should be instead, it must be understood by everyone that house chores are not only meant to be done by women. If a woman is sharing his financial burden then you can share her burden too.

We celebrate women's day and world equality day by giving chocolates and some gifts, and we forget what actually society needs to do.

Being opinionated and giving titles to someone is an integral part of everyone's dark thoughts.

Don't you think that a husband who supports his wife is conveniently quoted as " Joru ka Gulam"? If you really care about women's equality, start it from your house. Get rid of social taboos and be her partner, not just a husband.

5 years back one of my friends suggested that I should cook food by myself as it is considered that it makes a good place for a woman in place her husband's heart. These strange words still echo in my ears and not just this, 4 out of 10 women quote the same.

I am learning to release these tight social strings. I am happy for what I am and how my husband bonds with me. So, to all the people there- "Stop Being Judgemental"

And remember, if you don't value yourself, you can't expect others to.
