Giving every moment the fullest

I’m still struggling to know where it started, the saying that the woman is the one taking care of the family. Whatever men can do, a woman can do that, too. Whether it’s taking care of a family or having a job, we women give everything our 110%.

Before, my husband and I didn’t share the work. It was always coming to me, like go work, and then come back, and do the cooking also. But later, he understood that it was too much work for me, and we talked about it.

You still don’t see that very often in Indian culture, but once my girls started growing up, they also advocated for me to my husband. I definitely give a lot of credit to my girls, who were my voice.
