I have been meaning to post something about an article which made soooo much news a short while ago.
"Aishwarya Rai plays the perfect Bachchan Bahu"
Apparently she made sure her "Pa" and (zzz boring) hubby "Pa"'s beta Abhishek had a good
lunch on the sets of "sarkar raj"
Thank you Aishwarya for setting the women's movement or if there is any in India, many many paces behind.
Ekta Kapoor's tele serials..that claim(she does seriously see Koffee with Karan reruns) to depict "real women in real india"(shudders) and other "devrani" etc serials..reduce women to what? Wahi..glorified maidservants!!
And we thrive on it. "mere pati to ye bhi nahi jaante unke joote kahan hai" or " mere pati to mere haath ka khana khaye bagair nahi so sakte"
Puhleez!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Recenltly saw a scene out of an inane film..
Salman khan's character says "Judge saab aadmi ko kya chahiye, kitchen me maa ki tarah khana banane wali biwi aur bedroom me girlfriend ki tarah pyaar karne wali biwi"
No wonder most of our men are confused! Kare bhi to kya kare...!!?
And what is this "khana banana, khana khilana" obsession?
"Suniye maine aaj gajar ka halwa banaya hai" "Beta maine aaj besan ke laddoo banaye hai"?
When will our women go beyond that?
Ahem..sorry since we have Aishwarya Rai perpetuating the regressive stereotype, we are forever going to be subjected to this "perfect bahu" etc nonsense.
Women out there..dont get me wrong!
Please do cater to your man..go ahead..pamper him..spoil him..I am with you on this..but pleeeeeeeeeese. DONT MOTHER HIM.
' I am busy , get your own towel.please"
Be brave..be strong say it..to HIM. Patidev ji..might, might get his own.
Mothers out there..please dont treat your son as invalids..OKAY?
Not putting down all you enlightened males out there..NO SIREEE
Mr DSampath.our very own Sulekha Blogger .kudos to you for trying to cook for your patni..!!!(those who havent visited his blog..time to so so...)
AND to all of you enlightened males,
receive eternal love( affection if not in love) from your wives, girlfriends...
"COOK for her..TRY."
P.S Nothing is more sexy or wonderful than a man cooking for his better half. YEAH.
You know what would have been news?
Amitabh Bachchan ensures Bahu Aishwarya gets a good lunch on the sets of "Sarkar Raj" Abhishek follows in father's footsteps!!! Hot off the press...!!!
Would have surely made a fan out of me for the Contrived Mahanayak AB and pudgy Jr.
Now let me go and make some gajar ka halva...no wait a minute..Aloo ke parathe...I see my better half..in the kitchen already..Soooooo sweeet shredding gajars

Adios till next time..Now I am on Aishwarya watch.
Next will be "Aishwarya Rai Bachchan plays(catch the word play) the perfect patni"
SHe was seen on the sets of "Pati hi Parmeshwar" lovingly fanning Abhi with a pankha..as it was so hot on the sets, meanwhile uncomplainingly drenched in sweat.....herself. Naari ho to aisi..
Until next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thabadcat,
That is a cool take on these typically bhartiya stereotypes. Instead of diminishing these are growing leaps and bounds thanks to Ekta Kapoor and her creative associates and many more.
Awaiting for more…
Warm regards,

Madam,
My learned friend SARA has already posted a Prathana!
All she wants God to bestow her with a husband who does everything- Right from cooking to minting money and say ,''Uddao Meri Jaan".
Unlike past,Indian men are in a reverse position.
Its credit goes to well read and confident women like you.
But I doubt if Abhishek will ever do the same for his better half!
I am crossing my fingers to read a sequel to it.
You can head it with ''Bartan doh Du Kya''
Keep writing !
yours,
ashish

Dear thabadcat,
True .. There is a need for renegotiating the roles
between a husband and wife...
but each genreation have their own stereo types..
to go beyond the stereo types and help ech other grow is perhaps the chllange in a husband wife relationship...
the abilty of both of them to equate with each other and give the grace due for their diffrentiation is another challenge....

badcat,

quite catty haan...meow
I immensely enjoyed your take on the state of the affairs...
...these are times when *regression* is in!
I saw them promos of *Hamari Devrani* or is it jethani...I almost broke into a fit...the loud make up...forced nasty facial contortions...eeeeewwww
About the Bachchans...less said the better...
Kabhi farmer kabhi NRI...
...the newly weds have their fingers surgically entwined....Ek ungli hain hum anyone...grand pa Bachchan is busy thrashing everyone in his blog...Jaya Ji is still floating around in her hideous Cannes tent...sigh...
I agree wid ya...people should share them chores...
