The gal next door.....

Here is a girl......
who has lived and loved her family as much as you do....
who is as much educated as you are.....
who is earning almost as much as you do.....
who has dreams and aspirations just as you have.....
who is as alive and as human as you are.....
who has never entered the kitchen just like you have not....
who was as busy with her studies as you have been.....
who had been competing in this race as hard as you have been....
who has bravely agreed to leave behind her..... her family..... her home..... her identity.....
who agreed to adopt to your home..... your family..... your ways..... your ideas.....

yet....

You expect her.....
To be a master-chef from day one..... while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances..... new environment..... new kitchen.....

You expect her.....
to make tea first thing in the morning.....
cook food at the end of the day..... even if she is as tired as you are.....

You expect her....
to never ever complain.... even if she is too tired to be a servant..... a cook..... a mother..... a wife.....

You don't apprehend that......
she is learning what you want from her..... just like you...... that she can also be uneasy and messy at times..... that she knows that you won't like it....... if she is too demanding..... or if she learns faster than you.....

You don't remember that.....
she has her own set of friends..... and that includes men at her workplace..... people she knows from school days..... that she is willing to put all that on the back-burners..... to avoid your irrational jealousy..... to avoid your inherent insecurities.....

You don't understand that.....
she can drink and dance just as well as you can..... and yet she won't..... simply because you won't like it..... simply because she cares for your feelings..... which you never tend to understand.....

You don't realize that.....
she can be late from work once in a while..... that she has her deadlines in the project..... which have to be met..... that she would have been too tired to cook for you..... that she would expect a few soothing words from you.....

You don't want to accept that.....
she is doing her level best for this relationship..... that nothing in her entire life is as much important to her as this relation is..... that she wants your help to achieve this..... that she bestows her trust on you and wants you to trust her.....

You don't want to recognize that.....
she just expects a few thing from you..... that your the only one she knows in your entire house..... that she needs your support..... your care..... your understanding..... your unconditional love.....

Hey..... at least think about it now.....
try and understand her.....
