Yeah I read a lot of ppl here and even many friends in real life who are quite averse to cooking....I don't look at it as wanting to rebel against it just cuz GIRLS are expected to learn it....In our house mom has taught EVERYONE to cook....including my dad....hum sab chalti phirti ready machines hain to cook daal-sabji basics atleastđ....it's about independence...is it not an advantage when you're hungry cuz you can actually make something good for yourself to eat?
Though Ami does have that 'A kitchen is a woman's domain concept' but knows me enough not to explicitly mention that I have to learn cooking just because I'm a girl....Oh, and I do know how to cook...sikhaya toh sab hai Ami ne...I'm not averse to it because only girls are expected to do it....It's just that I don't like cooking. It's boring!
@bold...My mother says the EXACT same thing...she's like 'kisi aur ke liye nahin karna, apne liye toh kuch pakana ana chahiye'...and her most famous dialogue...'pait toh sab ke saath hi laga hoa hai na'...*shakes head*
