So finally i begin after months of apprehensions....I would not claim to write about the so called major issues our society is going through but just how a simple Indian housewife deals with life,people around her,just as life comes to her everyday.Hope i relate to many more just like me who have been facing the age old stigma ""Oh so u do nothing..you are a housewife"..I am not going to give the routine reply that housewives are no less hardworking than working women rather want to put forth the fact that houswives too are independent intelligent thinking women...So just stay connected with me to encounter with me my day to day life experiences,we will gossip about whats happening in society sometimes light heartedly sometimes some serious discussions...So friends I am all ready to take off with all of you along with me...

Looking forward to it... Best wishes....!!!!
