I feel so sorry for her. In this freezing cold crack of dawn, she gets up half-an hour before I do and prepares herself for the school. If time permits she can have a sip of tea and a couple of biscuits and rushes to the bus stand about a mile away. Most of the days when I am in the town I drop her on my motorcycle. But when I am off for some business trip, it turns out to be pathetic. When I think of the situation I do not know how does she manage all and pull her to the bus stand on time.
I think women can do it. Had it been with us men, we would be argumentative more than working and being on time and day after day we would be there with a hell lot of excuses. She pulls on all with ease and after that the whole day in school with piled up work and practically with no break she has her smile on face.
The day does not end for her so quick. The kids wait for her for tuition and then of course the household chore is there. Sorry dear, I try to help but I cannot. I keep admiring her instead.
Women in Indian middle class society are a mystery in themselves. Look around, you get to see so many good examples of balancing their home with their professional life and at the same time catering to all the quarters of social life. They keep pace with time and turn out to be the most modern of all. They are the pillar of our family, of our society and of the nation. They are the mother and architect of modern India.
I salute each and every women of India.

Nice one! I wonder, as she makes the home before she leaves to catch her bus, if somedays she smiles at the mirror and says 'Only I can!'
