“So you cook again when you go home!”
“Not exactly. I only make the chapattis or heat up the vegetable/curry!”

They asked me how much I earn. I shrugged the question aside without mentioning a numeric figure. Their curiosity not satiated, they turned towards my husband and inquired about our salaries. My husband also refused to quote an exact amount. They started guessing and threw in some figures as our combined salaries. No response from [...]
Always remember……
Marriage and love is a daily commitment.
