Though in recent years, there have been considerable discussions regarding the unsung heroes that homemakers are, I still feel that theirs is an unappreciated breed.By 'unappreciation' I mean a general neglect and ingratitude for the tasks which they dutifully carry out every day. The receiving end(usually the spouse and children) are free to take out the woes of the day out on this one person managing chores which keep the delicate wheels of the family and thereby,the home, oiled and running.We tend to forget that they too might have had a bad day,might want to take a break,or might be suffering from some physical ailment.In short, we conveniently choose to ignore the fact that they need to taken care of once in a while too.Just a helping hand, a word of thanks, and an assurance of health and peace in every home, to every 'domestic engineer' out there can make a huge difference.Though the change will be gradual, at the end of the day, those involved will be all the more happier for it.
Today, I got a chance to behold the changing art scene in my country, on attending a film festival of sorts.Filmmakers seem to be reacting to the noise on and off celluloid, through mostly silent creations.I list a few of my favourites here: A Beast Called Beauty - directed by Aakanksha Chitkara Maybe because I am a woman living at a time when India is renowned for objectification of and heinous crimes against women, this documentary film struck me the most and inspired this post.The film voices the common woes of our sex racked by the rigid concepts of beauty set by the society; a situation only worsened by the marketing techniques of fairness creams and other beauty products.However,the movie ends on a happy note, with the featured females professing to have realised that they have accepted who they are, and are content with themselves.I hope every girl out there does the same.
