“ Cooking is an art “
“ Cooking is a therapy”
Yes I’m mulling over these statements, how many of them who cook on daily basis will agree to these lines.
Cooking occasionally for guests or trying out innovative dishes could be real fun.
Day in and day out if you slog in the kitchen, Is it an enjoyable chore?
The morning steaming cup of coffee followed by idli, vada, pongal or whatever then once again lunch with sambar, kootu, porial. Evening cup of tea or coffee once again with snacks and to end the day with rotis and subjis.
Typing this elaborate spread for a day is tiring… how about cooking them?Have you ever given a thought how tedious and time consuming is Indian cooking!
The woman who misses an alarm controls nature’s calls to pack food for the family.
And the woman will be criticised for missing the alarm and not seen as a human.The most unthankful job ever.
Rain or shine, good day or bad day,sick or healthy,stressed or happy nothing matters, cooking goes on and on,thanks to swiggy and zomato that shower care when women in the household are sick.
We could say food is medicine so we are healthy compared to western people and all such stuff.
As we humans evolve in a digital age where women want to excel in their professional front , will these domestic drudgery be shared so that it becomes a labour of love.
In the name of love, sacrifice and motherhood entire life of women is spent in kitchen.
Break the mould and normalise sharing the space with everyone at home.

This is truly insightful and so true! 💯
ReplyDeleteThe work in the kitchen should be divided equally between men and women.
No one chore or the burden of responsibility should fall entirely on the shoulders of women.
It is not true that men cannot cook! Men can definitely cook!
The question is, are they not cooking because they can't cook or is it because they won't cook!
It's time we stopped gender stereotyping and perpetuating these harmful stereotypes that only women can cook or that cooking comes more naturally for women than it does for men.
