It needs not be because of pre occupying. It is because you dont how to handle 2 things. For e.g if I have been handling kitchen for sometime I have a vague idea when the whistle will come for chaval or dal etc..So even if I am ironing , I will keep the stove in sim or after a certain period will check on stove. Also for a experienced person we know how many whistles are needed for chaval say 4 whistles. So after 3 whistles if I am ironing, I will keep the iron box proper go to gas stove switch it off after 4th whistle come back and iron.
Same if I have curry in one stove and milk in other I know the signs on which needs more attention at a particular point of time. These things are not learnt in one day , in comes through practice. So I see no issues there. I dont understand why people think Sandhya is dumb. She has not handled household on her own. Definetley has not done any multitasking. Only dumb thing I found was Sandhya buying 5kg vessel. Everything else a girl of Sandhya's disposition can make mistakes while handling things alone for first time.
Also Bhabo's judgement about Sandhya is correct to some extent. She can never be the perfect homemaker how much ever anyone wants because Sandhya is a girl having no predisposition towards home making and she will never have it. Sandhya is not the type of DIL Bhabo or people of Bhabo's type want. If someone thinks that's impossible please dont there are many like me who are imperfect as far as household tasks go.I can very well relate to Sandhya as I have gone through what she is going through. Only thing is that we dont do stupid things as we have got enough experience now. It is not that we dont try, but yaa our major interest lies outside home 😃.
