“Stupid housewife” is a term used by many of us nowadays. In today’s competitive age taking your career to the acme and earning loads of money is considered the most important aspect of life. And, why not? If boys can have a identity of their own, girls also should make their mark in their career front and make their own identity. It’s really great to see girls making their mark in every field, starting from entrepreneurship to the fashion world, glamour to medicine, technology to politics and so on and so forth. But what surprises me is that , in spite of  such capabilities , many people use the term “stupid housewife” for those women who sacrifice their career for the sake of their family. Does it mean, you are stupid if you take care of your own kids instead of hiring a babysitter? Or does it mean you are stupid if you cook for your family instead of hiring a cook? Does it also mean you are good for nothing if you spend time running after your own kid and giving him/her good guidance and quality time instead of commuting to office and working on files? These are some questions for which every housewife seeks answer? Who in this world does not want to be independent? I guess no one. But sometimes circumstances are such that you have to choose either of the two, your career or your family. So are those women stupid, who select their family instead of their career? Folks, tell me one thing, will a babysitter make your baby eat as lovingly as a mother would? Will the baby get as much affection and care from a babysitter rather than his or her own mother? So how come housewives are stupid. They are much wiser because they don’t let their family suffer because of their career aspirations. So folks, please post your views and comments on this issue.

Zubeen Garg is a household name in every Assamese home. His contribution to music is immense. He has brought Assamese music to great heights. He has made his mark not only in Assam but also all over India .  Among his innumerable fans , I count myself as one. His voice and his songs made me an ardent admirer of this “Ya Ali” fame. I consider myself fortunate for having witnessed a stage show of his when I was a student of standard 6. After that, till date I have never been able to make it to any if his live stage performances. Whenever I tell my woe of not being able to see not many stage shows of Zubeen  , all I got was snobbish and empty replies of people claiming to know him personally , meeting him in some pan shop of jorhat , or even attending his siblings wedding parties , and blah blah. But , till date not a single person has been able to make a rendezvous of mine with this genius of music.  As it is ,luck is an important factor in every sphere , maybe my luck will favour me sometime and I will get to meet Zubeen some day. What I like about his songs is that they are a blending of incidents taken from day to day life. For example ,the song “ Diya ghurai Diya” is a heart touching song , requesting all antisocial elements to return the happy world to us. “Mayabini raatir bukut” is a romantic song pertaining to any lover who is expressing his beloved what she means to him. “Kaar Parash” is another touching song . In the song “paakhi loga mone” from the album “ringa ringa mon” , the inclusion of  “eitu nu kar dol” and rojai hokum dise edim sedim bye” shows his closeness with the asomiya culture. My list of favourite Zubeen songs is endless. I wrote this blog to give vent to my feelings about the marvel Zubeen. If any of the readers feel , you can really arrange a rendevouz with zubeen (keep in mind , it should not be a myth J ) , do let me know.
