Good for everythingthing

 The world is a dangerous place to live.

Not because of the people who are evil.

But because of the people

who don't do anything about it.                                  
                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                  Albert Einstein




     Beena got into the home around seven in the evening after another tiresome day of that week.She is the Assistant Headmistress in a Government School which is fifteen kilometers away from her place.There their Annual sports day function has been going on.Being as the Good Assistant Headmistress of that school, the Head Master comfortably keeps transferring his responsibilities on her.For the past one week her schedule has been very hectic.From school to the bus-stop,she has to climb nearly one kilometer up-hill and if she has any luck to get her bus in time she can reach home around six in the evening,where she has to walk the distance around one kilometer to her home.


  Beena is in a joint family.She loves to be in the joint family.At present, she is with a eleven members joint family and she is the eldest daughter-in-law among three in the family.As she is being the eldest daughter-in-law of the family,she is expected to take more and more responsibilities where she finds very difficult to balance in and out of the family. She is so good but without having the knowledge of being taken as granted by every one of the family,she tries her best to balance her carrier with her family by sacrificing many of her crucial state of living.


   As her family Heads egos are very big,they very often emphasizing their state of honor either with their unwanted, unhealthy languages or with not pleasing attitudes.They have no idea about how they do bring their own pride to the earth by complaining about their own family members to the every visitor.More over, her husband keeps telling that as they are the eldest of the family,they must be a good role model to his siblings and nears and dears.So let us try to cope with our Heads of the family, even though they don't mean their roles.


   Beena has been taking her husband's word to her heart and brain for nearly twenty years.All these years,she doesn't expect any help from anybody else in the family even after many exploitation,many manipulation, many disgraces.She has been leading a very good mechanical life where her husband's help is indeed very spectacular to direct her in that direction of mechanical life. He really doesn't want any chaos in the family as he is not at all ready to face any sort of difference of opinions among the family members.But God only knows that whether he himself realizes his roles.


   Gradually,the house starts loosing its charm as home,the family members starts loosing their faith to be in the joint family system.Even though the whole take home salary of the earning members have been handed to the family Heads with perfect calculations,there is no satisfaction.Nobody in the family is allowed to spend even a small part of their earned money on their own will which makes them to think 'What a hell '.They have no idea about the role of their money in the hands of the family Heads.Being 'Terror ' of the family,the daughters's -in-law family dare not to visit their daughters or to take their daughter to their place to bring some comfort in them.Thus the family Heads run the family in the wrong and dangerous direction.


   But this year sports day is an eye opener for Beena to tackle her family Heads as well as the Head Master..As she is exhausted to the core with her all time dual roles at home as well as at her working place,now her body refuses to cope with the lightening speed of her mind.As a result,the frustration emerges which  many times about to show its ugly face. Beena stops her machines at her mechanical work shop.i.e. Her  mechanical life.When she looks back,she is able to understand that none to be blamed.Being the eldest daughter -in-law of the family she let herself allows others for being herself granted for everything by helping them to escape from the untimely and unwanted wrath of the family Heads. Then what is the meaning of complaining her pain to herself.


     The sports day comes to an end with an arising of  beautiful Rainbow from the clouds of Beena. This is the great time to disclose her suggestions to the Head Master for a ' Divide and rule Policy ' which seems to be much more good for the good administration of the school.She needs her own space at her working place as well as at her home.She needs the same for her beloved family members also.She lists out her suggestions and strategies for a good administration of a big and good joint family.


     Beena's list is ready now to help her to make her life happy and spacious through which she feels she can bring the same to the every one of her beloved family members.The first thing,she has to do is,she must be dare to disclose her unhappiness to the family Heads about their way of treating her along with her family members.Then she ought to come out with the following suggestions.In the beginning,there may be earth quakes but it has to be made to settle down in one point or the other with minimum damage by bringing them to the reality.Here goes her list.

1.' Divide and Rule Policy ' at home also seems to be good for everything for internal,external and financial matters.

2.Beena decides not to give her entire salary to the family Heads which is seems to be barrier to implement her many ideas for the welfare of the family.50% of her salary would reach her family Heads and the remaining 50% would stay with her.This is applicable to all earning family members.

3.Appointing a maid servant is necessary.

4.Making the cuisine a vibrant one with all necessary appliances one by one.

5.The present four room accommodation is not sufficient for eleven members joint family and for the regular visits of the guests.No privacy for any one else in the family. A duplex independent house is the need of the hour.As there are more than six earning members in the family,even all earning members are asked to share with their 50% salary, the rent seems to be affordable.

6.There must be a proper planning for own a house as quick as possible.

7.Week ends must be with so many fun.Every week end dinner must be ordered with the favorite choices of the family members in turn.

8.Funds can be created through proper planning of saving which could be utilized for kid's education,for celebrating festivals,for celebrating family events,for the medical expenses of the family members,for occasional small tours and so on.Once we get into this building a happy joint family structure,there may be more and more ideas and strategies may appear.

   Definitely,this strategy seems to bring fresh air in the family where the sultry, the ' Ego ' of the family would vanish in the thin air.
