The perfect wife

 

Rampal is a hardworking farmer. A submissive, uncomplaining man carrying a peculiar kind of long-suffering look. But there are traces of a kind of indefatigable spirit, a resourcefulness, a subtle versatility which is seen in hardworking people.

When he is busy in some work one can see a taskmasterly air around him. The reason is his bossy, nagging, overbearing, imperious, voluble, commanding wife. In the throes of strange restlessness, she is very exacting on the cool temperament of her farmer husband.

The meek, uncomplaining husband prefers working in the fields. But when there is nothing to work in the fields, his wife uses the resource with nice human resource management skills.

She is a highly querulous woman—speaks at least hundred words for his single word muttered under his breath. So when he is free from the farming duties, she has a list of all the pending repairs, modifications, amendments in anything ranging from masonry, carpentry, electricity, plumbing, cooking, kneading and much more that misses my mind at this moment.

He is very comfortable with the idea of learning something new under the command of his human resource manager wife. The proud hubby is always there to fulfill the plans of his wife with an open-chested maneuver.

The multi-skilled husband is busy in the year-long symphony of coy domesticities. With her hands-on matriarchy, she has groomed a jack-of-all-trades to plough their domestic cart.

A self-taught (wife-taught rather) multi-skilled husband, his case can be a notable discourse in feminist studies.

All said and done, he is indeed an unconventional icon in a critically patriarchal society.
