Do you know why
Women happen to live
In their husbands’ home traditionally?
I am telling you my dear daughter, by the by!
Patience, mercy, love, adaptability,
Give and take policy -
Better understanding of relatives
Irrespective of the different ages
Is quite natural and inborn for women!
The adaptability and related characters
Are set more naturally in the minds
And genes of the women for generations!
That is how the culture
Of joint family was established
Years and years for ever! – But
Why in this generation of 2000 years
There is lot of protest in the minds
Of modern girls; and their parents!
Girls’ parents need suitable bridegrooms,
But without grooms’ parents; unwilling
To live in joint family!
The reason behind this attitude
Is that the girls in large number
Want to be independent with freedom!
Education is a must for girls
They should think and refine
To the betterment of the family!
Of course with various options,
Post graduate qualifications
Professional courses etc, etc!
Information technology jobs,
Admin and management jobs,
Not the least teaching jobs!
Women get equal and higher salaries,
With lot of perks and benefits,
With sufficient maternity leaves!
Equal rights, women liberation,
Men and women living together,
If difference of opinion, Divorce!
Living with elderly and experienced people
Is always a heartfelt wisely support
Leading a happy life without any doubt!
