Dear Friends, Good Afternoon to you all! I hope most of my friends are enjoying the Onam Day varieties of delicious Meals Served on Banana Leaf! I would like to share this article with you all as I liked the way it was written by a columnist in Kuwait times! Is friendship a luxury? I have noticed lately that friendship has become almost a luxury to married working mothers. For men, keeping friendships and maintaining their social lives after marriage can be easily managed. With women, on the other hand, the situation differs. Perhaps it is our unfair patriarchal world that always works in favor of men over women, or perhaps it is just how things go. I believe without a doubt that women are given quite a lot of responsibility when they are married, as they are expected to ensure the satisfaction and well-being of all the members of the family. They need to take care of the husband, the children, household chores, and on top of that they need to look after their job obligations. They need to keep everyone in their life happy and satisfied. Due to the challenging living conditions, women must work in order for the family to be able to provide for its members. This means that on top of house obligations, they also need to focus on their job. A mother has to go home and help her kids do their homework no matter what physical or mental state she is in. Most men on the other hand, go home expecting their meals to be ready and a beautiful Cinderella waiting for them, with a quiet, clean home. But what about the social life of this Cinderella? Does she enjoy a girls nights out every once in a while to relieve the pressure from her work? Sadly, once married, most women wont have friends. They wont have time for friends because work and family consumes most of their time and energy. Friendship becomes something luxurious, only a few can afford. Men can still meet their friends in Diwaniyas and cafes, but women can probably only speak on the phone every now and then when the time allows. By time, old friendships become a memory of something long gone. When women meet their friends and college classmates, it seems like a fleeting memory from the past, something she wishes she can keep but her family and work demand so much attention, it is impossible for her to do that. Women today are faced with a big, tough challenge of being the center of care and attention in families. This is killing all the other aspects of life they can enjoy.
