I was watching TV when I came across this new TV Commercial
by Ariel Matic. I am sure most of you have already seen this (uhhh I am always
the last one). I will tell you my little secret, I love commercials. I remember
some popular jingles and sometimes I sing them. Crazy me. The commercial is so
sweet and simple and I watched it like few times by downloading from you tube.
In this ad two senior ladies are chit chatting about the time when they were
young. In the back ground a young girl is packing her office bag. One refers to
how her elder sister use to work as typist at a salary of merely six rupees a
month. Other replies with pride that now my daughter in law earns more than my
son. They both are delighted and agrees to the point that 21st
century is golden period for women. Their sweet dream is tarnished when husband
of girl ask her about his unwashed shirt. The commercial ends with a message “Is laundry only a woman’s job? “
#Share the load
It’s a very sweet, simple and true message pertaining to
Indian society. Still majority of guys in India have thinking that household
chores are only women’s job. I am not against it neither in favor of. In earlier
times men use to work outside and women use to stay at home. So obviously women
use to do household work single hand. Now times have changed women are
working and still following old thoughts doesn't make sense. I say when both
are working then household work should be divided as well. Girl is also not
made of steel. Guys in India especially want them to be perfect in everything.
By saying this I am not keeping in one basket. I would like to ask them why? What
make you so special to decide like this? I have heard guys announcing proudly
in office that they don’t do anything when they go home and don’t even bother
to learn.
There are very good guys who really care for women in their
lives, mother, sister, wife. They always offer help. Either they know how to
complete household work or are eager to learn. My mom’s friend son was so good
in performing all kinds of household duties that my mom uses to give me his
example. One day I warned him doesn't try to be over smart, LOL.
Also sometimes guys want to help their wife sharing the
load, then mother in law have some objections. It’s not because she likes to
torture her bahu but she’s just old school. So in such type of cases hubby’s
need to convince their mom that its fine to help.
Success often takes toll on relationships. Especially
girls if they get more successful than their beaus they are willing to move on
immediately. That’s not ethical as per me. I know every girl wants her husband
to be more qualified, smart, earning more than her. But when we talk about
equality than don’t do all this rubbish. Guys respect and motivate if girl in
your life is more successful than you. Trust me even if your friends, relatives
teases you they feel jealous inside that why I don’t have girl like his in my
life as well.
I know there is no one thought about all these things. I am
not super guru or something. But as an individual I have full right to voice my
opinion. My opinions are based on my experiences, acquaintances. Yours could be
similar or different.
Feel free to add comments to the post if you feel like
saying something.
Anyways it’s a good commercial, do watch it if you haven't seen it yet.
