@ Shruthi, may be an yes to my personal experience on personal front as well as professional front. And about managing the people, before marriage, I was managing the external work like shopping and serving, entertaining etc. But when I got married, though I was the 2nd DIL, I had to take the reigns into my hands as my elder co sister was not well versed with the culinary tastes required by my family (sasural) and also she could not cook for more than 2 to 3 people however hard she tried. And also the fact was she was stating in Bangalore with her hubby while I was staying with my in laws and had the responsibility of the family as well as guests (invited and un invited ones). But my in laws were too sweet in my initial 2 months, they never complained even if I burnt a sabji or over cooked. They used to eat it with silence as if they relished it but later when it was my turn to eat, they used to suggest me not to eat certain items and the reveal the truth. But my younger brother in law was my guru and also gene pig. But now I can cook single handedly for the whole family and my other sisters (co sisters) will help me with chopping vegetables, grinding masala etc. But my elder sis is good in decorating the pooja room and we will assign her that responsibility but even after 23 years of her marriage, she can't cook for the whole families taste nor she could serve as she was not trained to do so in her maika. But still we love her with her that quality and the way she defends that quality, even the kids will laugh saying "Veena doddamma". But never she takes that as an offense to her.
