Many of my friend's husbands are happy to be a homemaker. My husband has a great ad agency but he decided to step back so that I can relive my dreams"

She continues, "For men to do this is something very commendable. Men have changed over time. Even women are no longer that prataadit (torture) or regressive. At least in cities, it's not the case. In rural areas, this may be still on. A woman goes through a lot but one man can change her life. Be it her son or husband or father, all we need is wings to fly. We need love and respect and always support us."

It's not that a girl cries because she is a girl. We cry because we tend to show our emotions very easily. My son has seen his gather home. He has seen the role reversal. Kids tend to learn from what they see than they are taught."
