Beginning January last year there were some very strong rumors of Karisma Kapoor making a comeback to movies, She has become a proud mother of a baby boy few days ago.

I dont remember it right so venturing to a rhetoric..Did I have it easier than my male counterparts reaching here then why should I quit my job?Women have the tendency of taking the onus of running a family on to themselves,”It was Jaya’s decision to quit movies” Amitabh might say proudly but i am not proud of Jaya Bachchan.I am inspired by Meryl Streep.

Girls, we have been ingrained to believe that its a pick between a happy family and profession but question the fathom that they preach.If you took as much efforts to become an engineer then why quit it now to run a household and engineer bolts of pressure cooker.

Here I must point out love marriage proves to be a huge advantage,cos the guy you are marrying already knows what to expect instead of trying to mold you into the ice-goddess he had in mind.Even in an arranged marriage set-up if made amply clear right at the onset things do fall in place.

How a house should function with a working wife?

1) If both of you are working,write down all household chores.Ask him to pick all that he can do ideally in a 50:50 ratio but then be willing to settle at 30:70.Men need to be trained and its a gradual process,let them start with just dressing the children for school, bringing grocery,giving clothes for ironing or whatever they want.

2) If a guest is home he should know that’s extra work,he should take care of their randomn demands while you make sure the house is in order.Friends are welcome to house all the time,while you are cooking,he (the perfect host) should be serving.

3) Both of you work late in night and both of you need morning cuppa.Suit yourself,take turns everyday,see the love evolve and no-one asked you to drink bed tea and not do anything else after-wards. Boost your energies!!

4) Have no time to talk and unhealthy lifestyle,do things together.Go to gym together,enroll in a dance class/yoga session.Romance brews when shaken not stirred.

5)Missing important family occasions and facing flak.As rude as it may sound but make a calendar which makes sure every one day in a month you visit one of those crazy aunties/boring cousins.Keep yourself active relatively people.

6) You earn more than him,ego issues??Have a common account, no money is his/mine everything is ours.Make plans like total inflow=x,outflow=y,savings=z.Whose are the savings cannot be judged unless you marked your currency while putting in bank

7)Noone to take care of the child? Both of you are equally responsible.He cant attend all parents teachers meeting while you attend all report card analysis.He can teach math while you teach English.He can take him to park after work when you haven’t come yet and you can catch a movie with the other hunk in your life when he s working late.The child can actually be second spouse if you work on it.

Tried and tested: A woman is not a housewife she s a homemaker but to me she s a manager,and a good manager should know how to manage resource(husband) at hand.A good manager should also know how to motivate employees,each time your husband does that some thing extra he deserves something special(hope you know what i mean).If Meryl aged 61 married at 30,mother of four can do it, so can you and who knows might win an Oscar next yr.
