There have been times.
There have been times,
When I looked into his eyes,
To convey,
To seek his help,
Washing the dirty linen,
Is not as tough as he feels.
That Laundry is not only
A Woman's Job.
No!
~~~
There have been times,
When I tried to tell him
If he has the rights to demand
That his clothes be properly washed,
And ironed in time,
Then he too, has certain
Responsibilities, Duties.
There have been times,
When I demonstrated to him
How easy it is to wash
With the Automatic,
At home...
Soaking In The Wetness... Of Water. :) |
Keep An Eye On The Timer... And On How You've Set The Controls. :) |
That's How We Twist And Twirl! We'll Be Spotless In No Time! :) |
~~~
For him to chip in on his part
And doing it sometimes when
I swing on those moods
Or if health swings on me...
There have been times,
When he has understood,
What I wanted to tell, convey
And, demonstrate to him
But he followed only one path
Of moodiness, ignorance and denial.
~~~
I knew he had the Time to
Assist me..
I knew he had the Capability to
Help me...
I knew he had the Heart to
Support me...
But never knew,
The reason behind,
Reluctance, Unwillingness,
And Occupation With Important Tasks.
~~~
Excuses, Avoidance, Dodging.
Belittling 'Sharing Is Caring'.
Coaxing, Persuasion, Convincing.
Mister, You Ought To #ShareTheLoad!
~~~
A magic transformed the mundane.
A Breeze of fresh air.
When he himself broke,
Broke free of the shell.
The shell he had been seeking,
Refuge in.
Leaving me incapacitated.
Searching the zeal, the volunteer.
Seeking him always.
Sometimes a fistful,
A scoop of Magical Powder.
Changes a mindset,
Transforms your patterns,
Rejuvenates your partner,
Turning into,
A much-awaited boon!
~~~
Shell, Refuge, Cocoon.
Broken, Freedom, Wings.
Game Changer In Frame.

The family that prays together stays together!
So, why not a couple to wash the dirty linen together?
Revolutionary?
Yes.

Take The #WashBucketChallenge!
~~~
That's his first pose, with our Mr. Magic. |
That's how the dirty linen went inside. |
That's how we twisted and twirled.
We shook and stir Him too...
To being his Responsible self.
That is Mr. Khanduja for you!
~~~
There are times...
When I ask him,
If he needs my help.
To do the Laundry.
And he just smiles,
Holding up in the air,
That packet of magic.
As a sign of Victory,
Over the unwillingness, reluctance,
And says - 'No'.
Still, I'm there.
To assist him.
For, We...
#ShareTheLoad.
That's not just my Automatic. It's OUR Beloved Automatic. :) |
The Feel Good Factor... Of Contributing To Household Chores. An Achievement. |
~~~
Our automatic,
And that packet,
Of magic.
Doing wonders,
All the day,
The whole week.
The entire month.
Long live the magic, Ariel Matic Complete+.
Long live the magician, Ariel India.
Long live the initiative to #ShareTheLoad.
For us as a family,
Sharing is indeed Caring.
