The A-Z Blog Challenge, Letter X

The Letter X  reminds me of  two things. first one is Xmas and the second one is Xerox.

X for Xmas, which was taught in school days is still in my mind. The term  Xmas is known as Christmas. The Festival that indicates the birth of Jesus Christ. Xmas brings the star an indication of the birth of Jesus.

Xerox is another word that we generally use in office is Put a xerox copy (xerox podu ma).

Reflection 

Hubby had booked tickets for a tamil Movie. so we are wtching a tamil movie at PVR Cinemas in VR mall with the little boy.

I have planned few Surprise gifts to Hubby whereas he had his own. When i showered him with surprise gifts. he didnt really expected that and so he felt very happy. We went for a Movie, then did shopping and eating out and spent the whole day together cherishing every nano second.  

In the evening we had arranged a small Party with my Family. The Photo Cake with the First Photo we took together is another Surprise for hubby. 

                                      

He was very much delighted as he didn't expected this one.  after cake cutting  we exchanged Rings. The Photo Wall clock and the Key chains and our names embossed Pens are another surprise from my Brother and his family. we took Blessings from our parents and had a Gala Dinner.

Day out with Colleagues

One fine Saturday evening my colleagues planned to take a break after a hectic week and go to Elliots Beach in Besant Nagar.

Kids at Play

as my hubby is unwell and so i had no plans about the outing but after the lunch break one of  mycolleague named Manikandan (little Dadiwala) came up telling me to join with them and he added that he will drop me at home as he had brought the car that day.

Vino trying to work out

Senthil sir and others insisted me to come. Though i was not mentally prepared, somehow i finally  nodded my head with a YES.

all set around 4.00pm. Viji, Renuka and selvi joined with me into the  Kwid, while others started in their two wheeler.

Sathish fled with vinod to get the Bat and ball to play in the Beach, Sam and Senthil sir started off in their bike and New guy srinivas took selvi's vehicle and whereas Sethulakshmi got popped into Maha lakshmi's Scooty pep..

we first reached the beach and waited for others to join. then others joined with a huge noise and they all carried me inside the beach. All guys started to play cricket including Satya (BF of S). while we girls are indulged in other activities and some  where throwing sand at eachother. Maha and renuka went to play in water while others watching cricket. i was clicking pictures randomly as it was still hot.

Bat got broke in-between the play. but the boys didnt giveup. they continued the play with the broken bat.

after the play we all went inside the beach to explore. Senthil, Mani Arul, Srinivas, vinod and Satish  all carried me in with wheelchair. then the guys now started swimming in the beach. when few girls were sitting in the shore watching the tides and others went off to play in the water. Arul and Vinod were swimming  and sam sittting in the water and taking a dip. one big wave swirled around arul and vinod and i got scared. luckily they came out of the water and sat in the shore.

after relaxing for a while we all planned to have Jigardanda so its time to leave. as the guys are exhausted to carry me back we hired a horse to drop me back at the entrance. Its my long time dream to ride on a Horseback. my dream came true today because of my colleagues.

Senthil and Vinod helped me to climb the horse and Renu sat behind my back to support me. I reached the entrance while others walked off.

we went to the Murugan Idly shop to taste the Jigardhanda. after that Mani dropped me at home.

Sundays are now Son Days

My nephew and Niece came to stay with us for the summer vacation. It was one fine Saturday morning and we all got up late in the morning and I grabbed the milk pockets which was dropped inside the gate by the milkwala and rushed into the kitchen to make some coffee for us and badam milk for the kids.

Day out with Chellakutty

My hubby and kids were busy in reading newspaper, while I served the coffee. The kids were quarrelling with each other for the sports page. Finally my niece won the battle. So my angry little boy (Nephew) said at his sister (Niece) in angry "See Akka, whatever you study you must be at home cooking, Cleaning and washing like mom. I will only go to office to earn money like dad"

I was shocked at his comment. because he is not like other kids, he washes his canvas shoes by himself and helps his mom after school hours.

I questioned  him about his comment. He replied that, only his mom is doing all household chores while his dad goes to office and relaxes at home. so, he came to the conclusion that all the girls / women are meant to do household chores along with other work. where the men are the bread winners.

when I checked with my sister, about his, she said that her husband is always busy in his office work. so, she never insists him to help her as he comes home tired after a hectic day at office.

He never shares any household chores. So I understood the root cause for the little boy's comment.

This incident made me very upset. how could a little boy say like this???

I called the chellakutty and told him, Beta, boys and girls are equal. Only thing  is that we should understand is  girls can do few things at ease and boys can do the other . It doesn’t mean that work is meant only for girls or boys. boys and girls are equal.

with my Hubby & Chellakutty 

See me and uncle are both going to office and at home uncle helps me in all household chores. Some women like your mom are homemakers where your dad goes to office and comes home tired so your mom doesn’t want to disturb him. It doesn’t mean that she is meant for household chores. They are sharing the work between them like mom takes care of home and makes you study well  whereas your dad goes to work to earn money. atleast you & your dad gets leave on sundays  amd holidays but not your mom. infact Sundays and holidays are more hectic to her preparing dishes and snacks to keep you all happy.

The next morning my hubby prepared coffee as I was feeling very tired. he made the super strong coffee for us and milk for the kids and served it to all of us. he then went to our terrace garden along with kids and watered the plants with the help of kids.

Then we all cooked the Chicken Briyani, Chilli Chicken, chicken popcorn. raita and rasam for lunch. my little niece who is studying in eighth cleaned the floor while his brother mopped the floor. my hubby helped in chopping veggies. all of us shared the work and had a wonderful lunch.

later we all went for a movie. thus, my nephew learnt that household chores are not meant for girls alone. it has to be shared and there is nothing to feel shame for sharing the load.

He also learnt that people who hesitate to share the load is to feel shame not the one who shares...

I too understood that we should not teach about the responsibilities only to girl child we must teach to boy as well. Even my Hubby said " Life is all about Sharing and caring" so we should not hesitate to share the work at home and it is our duty. the kids nodded there head and thereafter no girly / boyy work it is called OUR WORK.  

Its our responsibility to nurture good things in our kids.... Now my sissy is happy as its no more just sundays its now very special with SONDAYS....

‘I pledge to #ShareTheLoad in household chores in association with Ariel and BlogAdda‘

If we want to bring a change, then it is possible  only through the ballot.
