Domestic Dynamics Ruffl(ad)

The new Airtel ad has raised many brows ….ruffled few feathers of the so called intellectuals & array of feminist, who are now debating …“What nonsense …..How come this couple where both husband and wife are working cannot afford a maid”, “ what rubbish!!!  husband and wife work in the same company and wife is boss …haawww whats wrong with the husband” , “isn’t this ad an in appropriate representation of the domestic dynamics…sniff sniff”, “so the boss still remains a typical wife , why does she have to do the cooking” .

 Uffffff GROW UP people!! So what if there is no bai , so what if  she and husband are in the same company ,so what if the wife is boss, she still wants to cook …….why is it so difficult to digest that there is a women who works and also cooks !!

Many of my frens met their life partners while working together and post marriage also they are still working together in the same company and same team, they have learnt to keep their professional and personal lives separate and not let the issues one affect the other. So what is the big deal if in due course of time one becomes the manger of other? What I feel is that if a husband and wife cannot make a good team they won’t be able to make a good couple, because in professional and personal life one thing remains the same and that is the compatibility with each other. And it is that compatibility which will be their strength making their team click no matter what the circumstance is.

Look at the ad, women and husband both are comfortable in their skin just like how any metro couple is,  where women are earning more than men and men are comfortable with that. Running house is not one person’s responsibility (more importantly living in these inflated times its imperative that both husband and wife are working and sharing household responsibility equally). I know of a couple where the wife is much more senior than the husband and both of them are working together in a same company same team …and husband has absolutely no qualms about it infact he is extremely proud of his wife.

And yes now the big cooking question well…….i am a women ….that too working and who enjoys cooking. Cooking for me eases out entire day’s stress and yes, I love to cook for my husband especially when I know he has had a hard day in office. You see we women are very different from men , we by nature are givers who think about others first .  No matter how hard day a women has had in the evening she would forget about it and be ready for her family at keep the office at backseat for a while …this is how we are programmed. So chill people and relax…..there is nothing sexist about that ad :)
