00:00If I ask how much water to put in the rice, and instead of being told half cup, one cup,

00:071.5 cup, itna daal, aise daal, ungli, ungli, see this is something that duniya ki, India

00:13ki sari hodte karte hain, merko toh mummy na aise hi sikhaaya, when I ask ki kitna sweet

00:17karna 3 se 4, either tell me 3 or tell me 4, point to the person who does the most chores

00:44around the house.

01:00I do housecleaning but you also do housecleaning, you lead in cooking, I also cook little bit,

01:08I definitely do the laundry all the time except your undergarments, gardening we both do.

01:16There's nothing in particular that I do, there's something that only I do, hai na aisa kuch

01:22hai?

01:23Pehle bohot tha, ab aisa nahi hai, ab almost like milke karte hain types.

01:29Once the lockdown was announced, automatically we asked the house help to not come and which

01:36meant we were supposed to do everything on our own and my mind, my antennas go up really

01:44high and very fast that oh you know, to make sure that the same lifestyle is sustained

01:49especially in terms of because we like to eat well, like you know, not like ki kuch

01:55bhi kha liya, kuch bhi bana liya types, maggi se kam chaliya hai, aisa toh nahi hai.

01:59In terms of cleaning also, I think the first week was like you know, haan haan chalo every

02:03alternate day cleaning karte hain, sab kuch you know, spick and spang anna karte hain,

02:06jaisa pehle lockdown se pehle hua karte tha because the help used to do it, phir second

02:13week ke baad you know, I think we started taking a little easy, kya thik hai yaar, thoda bohot

02:18kahi ganda hai, toh bhi kya farak padta hai.

02:20I've lived on my own, like you know, I have my own room and like to take care of everything

02:27from my washing clothes to whatever, jhaaduing my room from standard 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th,

02:33then I went to study in a totally different city.

02:36I have not lived that privileged a life that I never did my own household choice.

02:42What all things have you learnt to cook in the past?

02:43I have learnt to cook rice, I have learnt to cook dal, I have learnt to cook vegetables,

02:47I mean what else do you need?

02:51Roti.

02:52Roti as well, yeah.

02:53Paratha.

02:54Aata gundna.

02:55Paratha.

02:56Aata gundna I already knew.

02:57The fact that he is 100% responsible for laundry is good.

03:01In a similar way, I feel, you know, if a certain person enjoys something, toh wo ussi ko responsibility

03:09de do.

03:10I don't enjoy that at all.

03:11You don't enjoy, but you've taken that.

03:12There is absolutely zero enjoyment in taking clothes and putting them in the washing room.

03:19See now, for example.

03:24For food, there is generally less argument because I do not know much, but I do get frustrated

03:30if I don't pick up something quickly or I think I'm not being told something properly.

03:34For example, if I ask how much water to put in the rice and instead of being told half

03:38cup, one cup, 1.5 cup, itna dal, aise dal.

03:41Ungli, ungli.

03:42Yeah, yeah.

03:43See, this is something that duniya ki, India ki sari hote karte hain.

03:46Mereko toh mummy na aise hi sikhaya.

03:48When I ask ki kitna sweet detail hai, teen se chaar, either tell me three or tell me four.

03:52I have slightly brought down my standard of cleanliness, which is okay.

03:55It doesn't bother me that much.

03:57There are certain things which bother me, which you would know in terms of cleaning.

04:02Yeah, like?

04:04Like kaise moong dal jo neeche parta rata hai.

04:08We have arguments and this and that simply because of the lack of skills of one party

04:13compared to the other party, but mostly we just have been able to manage things pretty well.

04:19Mere haath aur saabun, do shariv ek jaan hai ab.

04:25Haath dhote raho, haath dhote raho, chehre ko apne tum kam chhuvo.
