Women completely Americanised????

"The first thing I do everyday in the morning is visit Mahanandi" , say a lot of women here in the US...Thats so nice...Indira is a wonderful and creative writer, who puts in so much of effort...Gals..dont u think we gotto learn something from her? Well I am talking about the irony here...Here are a few things I observed in most of the women in US..

• Ready to search for new recipes..but husbands are not lucky enough to have a fresh meal everyday. Each person that I meet asks me "Oh so U cook DAILY!!!!?" .."I ONLY COOK ALTERNATE DAYS BECAUSE OF THE BUSY SCHEDULE"..Friends...I think thats the minimum...So much of earnings...so much of effort, missing parents, what is the use of all this if we can't even have a fresh meal each day???
• We shop for Kurtis and Sarees at the best shops here in US and then appear at the temple in a western outfit...Well comfort is the priority for sure...but r we not forgetting the roots? Be proud to wear Indian Outfits and show off our culture!!U'll be respected more...
• Another lady says to me...( Well...all of these ladies belong to our own indian community) "Hey don't tell me u don't Drink AT ALL!!!" Oh my gosh...Looks like NOT DRINKING is considered bad manners now...Think gals...Are we happy doing all this...dont u think its away from our roots??Can we proudly tell our moms what we r doing...All the best buddies..good going..
• Now this is another thing that bothers me..."DO U WEAR MANGALSUTRA DAILY?" Well I dont know how everyone feels...but this is something very emotional . Even if u put the tradition apart, How does a married woman feel good taking off the mangalsutra jus for the so called fashion???Well all the best folks.Gr8 going..
• Am I sounding too traditional? Well this article is not for the modern lot...but for those who are bitten by FASHION BUG, and searching for something thats not theirs....Be Yourself!!!

Being Modern is supposed to be reflected in our outlook and not our attire..Isn't it hypocrisy that we have become modern only in attire and stil talk about mothers-in-law and stuff in the potlucks????Despite living in the west, we r rooted in our country which has a lot of traditions about which we could be proud...Well learn the other good things from the West..The courteousness, punctuality, straightforwardness.Living in a new country should help us culminate the best of both worlds, rather than pulling out our roots.
