@ GraceBold & Italic - Latha, 100% agree to this statement. I also didn't know anything about cooking, when I got married. And my hubby is a great foody while my MIL's happiness lied in making her sons have food to the fullest. So, just imagine my plight. Slowly I learned everything. But still there are some dishes which I can't match the taste of the same when prepared by my MIL. And so, whenever she is with us, I make sure that she prepares those dishes. It's really a heartwarming sight to see her happiness when her son praises her for it's taste. And the other way round also happens, when she says that she wants some dishes prepared by me only, as it is more tastier. One more thing I would like to share is that, she was a person who never allowed her sons in the kitchen. So, for the first time when she saw my hubby cooking it was like a nightmare to her. (I hadn't forced him to learn cooking; situations like when I had to take bed rest & all, made him enter the kitchen. And once he learned it, being a foody, he became more interested in cooking. Now he is a good cook than me...😛). It took time for her to accept it. Meanwhile, whenever she used to complain of seeing him in the kitchen, my hubby would say, there is no work which is to be segregated that this is men's work or women's work;If you are interested in doing it, you should do. Then dheere dheere she got used to it. Now, if she needs help in cutting onions, she instantly asks my hubby. The only job she still hesitates to see is men washing the dishes. She still can't digest it...😆
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi Grace. It is Lakshmi not Latha. Nice to know your experiences. The show really takes us back memory lane and relive our past . It has this connectivity aspect. So we all are here comparing and analysing our own experiences with Sonakshi 's or Dev's situations. Yes. It takes time for men to change and make themselves adaptable to a different scenario in life. Till then they will get used to their mother's tastes and habits but after marriage they have to cope up with wife's preferences. As I said food plays an important part in the life of newly weds.A little more patience and adaptability will work wonders for both. Hope Sonakshi and Dev could restart their life with new awareness and mutual understanding.
