Break It And You Pay For It! Break It And You Pay For It!
by Pallavi Rao
The last few days I was feeling exhausted but I carried on my household duties because I have a house to run and many commitments to honour. In India we teach our daughters that the home revolves around them; women are the sun and our family are the planets.
The Call Of The Day The Call Of The Day
by Abha Mehta
The phone rang just after I had finished the lunch hour at work. The familiar residence number flashed on my cellphone. I took the call while I walked from my desk to a corner in the office for that much anticipated 5 minute conversation with my ten year old son.
Do Not Make Assumptions Do Not Make Assumptions

A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated. He found his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door. "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
Debatable Points: Should servants be allowed to raise our kids? Debatable Points: Should servants be allowed to raise our kids?
by PK
I see so many children in the park coming out to play with their servants continuously admonishing them, don’t run – you will fall, don’t do this and don’t do that – you will get hurt. As by shouting from far they have done their duty. What kind of upbringing is this?
Do Nice Mothers-In-Law Really Exist? Do Nice Mothers-In-Law Really Exist?
by Guest Tickler
Why does she feel the need to dominate our relationship? Why does she hold on emotionally to her son instead of allowing him to evolve into a mature and self-realized man and husband? Why should I be expected to prove myself to her? Surely my obvious respect and devotion to the family should be the measure of my worth as a daughter-in-law and wife?

by Rajesh
I recall the haunting song in the hindi film Masoom, which has this line, ‘Tujse naaraaz nahin zindagi, hairaan hoon mein. Pareshan hoon mein. Jeena ke liye, socha hi nahin, dard sambhaline hongein’. This means, “I am not angry with you, li...
Daddy Dearest Daddy Dearest
by Ananya Srivastava
“We’ll live somewhere else, away from Dad, ok?” I nodded silently, nonplussed about what was going on. I was convinced that none of the confusion appeared on my face, but that was the time I didn’t know how impossible it is to hide things fr...
Pull Over Madam Pull Over Madam

"Pull Over Ma’am…." Not words anyone that I know would like to hear on a bullhorn behind the car. But come to think of it, maybe hearing the command at a really high decibel is the only way that we’ll ever move our foot from the gas pedal to t...
