Something for the guys to ponder about -


Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
who is earning almost as much as you do;

one, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have
because she is as human as you are;

one, who has never entered the kitchen in her life
just like you or your sister haven't,
as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to
girls for their culinary achievements;

one, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters,
almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

one, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home,
people who l ove her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and
even your family name;

one, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1,
while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances,
environment and that kitchen;

one, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning
and cook food at the e nd of the day,
even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more,
and yet n ever ever expected to complain;

to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife,
even if she doesn't want to;

and is learning just like you are
as to what you want from her;

and is clumsy and sloppy at times
and knows th at you won't like it if she is too demanding,
or if she learns faster than you;

one, wh o has her own set of friends,
and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too,
those, who she knows from school days
and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners
to avoid your irrational jealousy,
unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

yes, she can drink and dance
just as well as you can, but won't,
simply because you won't like it,
even though you say otherwise;

one, who can be late from work once in a while
when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

one, who is doing her level best
and wants to make th is most important relationship
in her entire life a grand success,
if you just help her some and trust her;

one, who just wants one thing from you,
as you are the only one she knows
in your entire house - your unstinted support,
your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, your time
or love, if you may call it.

But not many people understand this......think about it!!!
