Aapko bulaya jaayega wapas, aur poocha jaayega ye coushion joh hai jab aap baithe the toh kis jagah tha? wapas ussi jagah rakhiye. Koi bhi frame picture ka photo frame agar zara sa tedha hojaaye, bola jaayega, kab se dekh rahe hain isko sidha nahi kar sakte aap. Humko nahi dikh raha yaar, frame hai yaar sab bacchon ki tasveerein hain, kya hai usmein, nahi usko aise hona chahiye. Phir uske upar aadhe ghante ka lecture hoga.. Kabhi bhi argument nahi karyega."
(Sir, this is all about cleanliness. Let me tell you, in many households, personal matters come up in casual conversations. In our house, if you’re sitting somewhere and need to leave for a while, you might be called back. You’ll be asked, 'The cushion you were sitting on, where was it placed? Please put it back in the same spot.' If any photo frame is even slightly crooked, you’ll hear, 'How long have we been seeing this? Can’t you straighten it?' It’s not just about the frame; it's about the pictures of the kids. You’re told, 'No, it has to be like this.' Then you get a half-hour lecture on it... Never argue about it)

(Just a few days ago, something new came up on Instagram. I read something very beautiful—four lines written by a great philosopher. In all the research and reading I’ve done throughout my life, the conclusion I’ve come to is that I have no answer to this question: What does a woman ultimately want?).
