When a
city in order to curb pollution devise new and effective methods should not
family sort out the issues by taking a cue from the #ODDEVEN theme ?
Putting the previous line into perspective, The city is Delhi. In order to face the air pollution as well as mindboggling traffic the city administration has devised Odd Even strategy where there will be odd numberplate vehicles run on odd days and on even day the vehicles with even number plate will run. there are some terms and condition for needy and emergency situations. Like the city facing pollution and traffic issues most of the household are facing issue in the cosmopolitan era where both husband and wife are working but the household chores are always perceived a women's job.
Exactly the same question was asked by Ariel and the answer is 3/4 of surveyed male opined that Household chores are womens job, The man's task is to earn.
Ariel's solution to the problem is simple #LaundryGoesOddEven
So in the 21st century when women are doing joining and succeeding in workforces is it right ? Women are staying out of home like most men do. If not working they are managing home better than any MBA can do.
So being a man, the time has come to support our spouse with #LaundryGoesOddEven
We also implemented the same in our home. To be honest it was a great fun filled week. Generally I help my wife in preparing foods but still she is very much occupied in other work like cleaning, arranging and keeping the home in a lively shape.

My first day at washing machine was a learning experience, I
put all the clothes in the tub, but my wife instructed first to sort the
dresses according to colour or category like jeans, bedsheets etc. then the
washing machine has several programmes for different type of wash. Till date I
thought one has to put the clothes and detergent in washing machine and it is
cleaned and semi dried. But the whole process of cleaning was a learning and on
our Sunday it was 20-80 effort. 20% from my side.
I tried to balance my poor performance by preparing some
light dinner for both of us the next day because I came home earlier and
prepared a simple Paneer burji. She made some Rotis after coming from office
and appreciated my effort.
My next effort on washing the clothes was 4 days later on an
Friday evening. I tried to use my learning and I think I was able to clean the
clothes. ( Or was it Ariel ?) some small effort from my side made the week so
beautiful and there was a lot of time for each other. I will definitely
continue with this and not only #LaundryGoesOddEven but also other
household chores will be for both of us.
