Women's Lib!
I landed on Amit Varma's blog when someone quoted him. He's supposed to be a popular on the Indian blogger circuits.
An excerpt:
“Pakistan society used to be much more male-dominated,” he says. “But now women are being liberated. It is all because of Star Plus.” [Star Plus is a hidi TV channel that airs family dramas]
“Ah!” I say. “How is that?”
“You see,” he says, “there was a time – and I am nostalgic about it now – when I would go home and get my roti on time. But now I go home and my wife is watching Star Plus. I ask her for my roti, and she says, ‘drama ke baad.’ I wait, and wait, but until 10.30 I don’t get my roti. Sometimes she will get up in the breaks, do a bit of work in the kitchen, then run back when her drama starts again.”
