But its moving!<br /><br />Renu:<br />You obviously did a great job with your kids!<br /><br />Videsi: <br />Maybe I cannot multitask well enough. I can see only one side clearly. The other is present but I am looking at it from the corner of my eye and thru the prism of my own experience.<br /><br />Zillion:<br />This is where my heart is (husband and children). This is where I make my home. If I dont make myself comfortable here, I will be useless to myself and my loved ones. It will be a life half lived.<br /><br />Bawa:<br />Your point well taken. I am talking about the vast majority of women in India, the ones who dont have access to a blog, or even clean water and toilets, the ones who we dont usually think about.<br /><br />Roop:<br />I am glad things are moving ... albeit slowly.Another Kiran In NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949641865013106368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939408516379764979.post-51561815938956458382009-06-15T13:17:44.719-07:002009-06-15T13:17:44.719-07:00arent we glad though that things are changing!!

Nobody changed religions or anything like that.<br /><br />But then in my own family women have always run all the everyday affairs and managed the monies (this is in India). Entire pay went straight to Mum with Dad keeping some pocket-money and never questioned how, when and where the rest of it went. All uncles and aunts were the same.bawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772313690591638108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939408516379764979.post-18273773176786225442009-06-14T05:31:53.069-07:002009-06-14T05:31:53.069-07:00OK OK, i am impresses with you being "law abi...OK OK, i am impresses with you being "law abiding American families"...humm, I lived for 5 years in UK, but never felt myself truly at home.

They behaved in a manner I was more used to seeing between couples. At the same time I saw so little affection between spouses in India, so my conclusion was that the son acts as a sort of surrogate romantic partner for the desi woman.<br /><br />Not in a sexual way mind you, but still nevertheless.<br /><br />Its interesting how you say you can't view the culture you grew up in through the eyes of the culture you find yourself in now. <br /><br />I'm actually finding it impossible to turn off the commentary (in my head) of BOTH my cultures when viewing both.Videsinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939408516379764979.post-32705032080922291202009-06-12T09:56:38.618-07:002009-06-12T09:56:38.618-07:00excellent post and so real:) but the scenario is c...excellent post and so real:) but the scenario is changing. leave aside me, my son even doesnt want his wife to fuss over him saying that he can take care of himeself:)Renuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052079745061422542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939408516379764979.post-56312723591018404812009-06-12T06:34:36.135-07:002009-06-12T06:34:36.135-07:00Good to read 'chammak challo' after short...Good to read 'chammak challo' after short interval....hehe<br /><br />waw! early morning blog entry.
