The Gender Bias

After Marriage

The man doesn't have to leave his family after tying the knot....and if he does its considered to be a crime
While the girl belongs to the boys family and she just has to forget where she came from 

The man has the same duties ...of looking after ONLY his schedule ...and delegating most of the personal chores to the rest of the family
While the girl has to modify and fit in to the new family's routine....given a 3 months probation time....but immediate compatibility to environment would give you some extra points

The man's schedule.....Will you be coming for for lunch?...not sure....Are you working late?...I don't know
Do you want lunch ? ...yes but may be not....Are you going to office???? ...Might....!!!!!
while the girl has to submit a clear schedule with time and place where she will be available at...and must follow it too

The man's family is always right and takes
While the woman's family is always wrong and gives

The man is called the perfect husband
The woman is called the useless wife

After Child

The man can just walk out of the house shouting " I'll be back"
While the girl has to plan ...plan and plan before she can move 1 km away from home to buy some veggies for the family

The man wakes up, reads paper, wants his tea and drops baby at school because the wife is so dumb that she can't drive
The women has to wake up, cook breakfast,dress child, feed child, put clothes in washing machine, make tea, send baby to school.

The man is always busy
The woman always has to make time for everything

The man is called the doting father
The woman is called the dumb mother

PS: If I think I could write a book on this topic... I know there are exceptions....but the fact still remains ....that they are only exceptions.....:)

A Cuppa Tea

Can a woman...yes I said A woman get up from her office seat, walk down the stairs, cross the road, to the bunk kadai (the small tea stall) and drink a cuppa tea with a biscuit without being stared at?????????? No. I didn't try....and I don't have the guts to...but love to do that. Maybe at a restaurant or a cafe it would be fine ...now that's a slight relief ...since 10 years ago even that wouldn't  go unnoticed..... PS. The pains of being a South Indian Woman?

Learning to Love

Not many people in the world love you unconditionally...Atleast for me ..not many...I have realised that only my Amma and Acha have the unselfish love that even I cannot show as a parent to my child. I am blessed to have them as my parents and there isn't a minute in my life that I fail to understand that and be thankful for that. Unselfish Love is so so scarce and I have it in 2 ppl....I am guilty of being selfish even to those 2... out of sheer laziness that is... I find that they are very good human beings. They love without expecting to be loved...which is very very difficult in my case. I can't bear it when love isn't reciprocated. I can love an enemy or a stranger because I seek and find some good in every soul ...BUT I can't love somebody who knows me well if that person hasn't shown me instances of love or has shown me instances of hate.....I have the patience ....but for how long....there is a point when i tend to never forget the misdoing or undoings
