International Women's Day

Today is celeberated as International Women's Day. 

I think that we don't exist without women. 

Like most men in India, I had thought that men work more than women in common households. It was during my mother's last few years of life (2013 to 2017) when I had to take up household responsibilities, that I realised that it was far more difficult to carry out household tasks as a woman than to work in any office as a man. Women's place in any family is indispensable.
