"A Pair of Silk Stockings" by Kate Chopin (Hunter, 2009)
Mrs. Sommers, having come into possession of an unexpected windfall, chooses to temporarily escape from the dreary responsibilities of a rather common, penny pinching existence to enjoy some of the finer things in life for a fleeting moment of lightness, free from the usual shackles of conscientiousness expected of a wife and mother. We are given no reason to believe that Mrs. Sommers had ever previously neglected the necessities of her family in order to selfishly enjoy such a fleeting pleasure as any woman would be entitled to by virtue of her gender. I see her purchase of the silk stockings and subsequent indulgences as inevitable temptations given the sudden circumstances of unexpected cash in lieu of the regular obligations being as satisfied as they ever were. This momentous event of hedonism could hardly tip the scales of justice when weighed against a lifetime of abstention, temperance, and moderation for the sake of honoring the unwritten contract to fulfill matrimonial obligation and motherly pride. Hence, the theme of escapism herein is universal. We often consider subservience as a key issue addressed by the women’s movement and feminism. However, in “A Pair of Silk Stockings,” the issue of economics is brought into focus with both gender and class taking center stage. I do sympathize with Mrs. Sommers.www.ministryofwritinghelps.com
This short story makes clear the fact that to be a wife and mother one has to be an excellent book keeper and administrator in order to meet the ever changing and abundant needs of her family. I would imagine that rare was the occasion when time, opportunity, and disposable income would be available to anyone of the lower or working class, whether they be male or female, in order to enjoy such a mildly opulent day as Mrs. Sommers had on the day described in this story. She was a victim of circumstances and to call her selfish is to ignore the greater contexts of class, gender, precedence, and economics indicated by the author. I am convinced that Mrs. Sommers betrayed neither Christian ethics nor her family by her actions. No amount of Scripture considered in context could dissuade my conclusion that this woman had consistently practiced self sacrifice for her family and also suffered unfathomable indignities as a "have not" in American society up until that day.
There is also no reason to believe that she will not return to her selfless and dutiful life as thrifty wife and mother at the story's end. From the standpoint of developments and movements in American society and how they are reflected in the Literature written throughout our history, taking into consideration the setting of this tale, I am trying to have an open mind to the complexities of Mrs. Sommers’ dilemma and not take the easy route of pointing my finger at an act of sin. The point I am trying to make is that there is more to this story than that. Mrs. Sommers usually shopped for her family’s needs at the expense of her own. She usually never treated herself to anything nice, not even an occasional luncheon or the theater. She would usually fight tooth and nail to secure the necessities of life at a bargain for her family’s sake. This story does not paint her as a terrible sinner, but rather as a woman usually inclined towards sainthood.

This story does not paint her as a terrible sinner, but rather as a woman usually inclined towards sainthood.
This story is about a very unusual day in the life of an extraordinarily virtuous woman who, having otherwise sacrificed life and limb for her family for years, had enough self respect and self esteem left to take advantage of a fleeting fortuitous circumstance and temporarily break out of the box of her usually studious and exemplary way of life. Her thriftiness had perhaps saved her family fifteen dollars a thousand times over throughout the years of her marriage. I am not so quick as others to cast a stone at her for one single, documented, isolated incident of non-puritan action in the 1890s when women were beginning to be thought of as more than chattel in a male dominated society. Consider that Mrs. Sommers had likely been ordered by her husband occasionally to bring home a thirty dollar box of cigars or some other frivolity for him to enjoy with his buddies. I am moved, not to condemn, but to defend the honor of this heroine.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES WHILE USING PC/MOBILE
During a recent visit to an optician, one of my friend was told of an exercise for the eyes by a specialist doctor that he termed as 20-20-20. It is apt for all of us, who spend long hours at our desks, looking at the computer/Mobile screen.
I Thought I'd share it with you.
20-20-20
Step I :-
After every 20 minutes of looking into the computer screen, turn your head and try to look at any object placed at least 20 feet away. This changes the focal length of your eyes, a must-do for the tired eyes.

Time permitting of course, one should walk 20 paces after every 20 minutes of sitting in one particular posture. Helps blood circulation for the entire body.

Circulate among all if you care. They say that your eyes are mirrors of your soul, so do take care of them, they are priceless.

What is the basis of counselling people to eat mixed diet??
Well,man derives protein from variety of food sources.
Cereal proteins are deficient in amino acids called lysine and threonine where as pulse protein are defieient in methionine.
These are known as limiting amino acids.
When two or more of vegetarian food are eaten together,their proteins supplement one another and provide a protein comparable to animal protein in respect to amino acids.
Thus,with proper planning,it is possible for a #VEGETARIAN to obtain a high grade protein at low cost from mixed diet of cereals,pulse and vegetables.
Cereals are Rice,wheat etc
Pulse are grams,beans etc

"THE BEST GIFT"-From Darkness to Light
I am from a very poor family who grows up in a remotest village.My parents spent almost everything for my studies.
They spent sleepless nights and eat less days for me.They never dream of wearing a good clothes,despite of all these,I never respected and loved them.I never obeyed them.
I was a hardcore alcoholic.My parents always reminded me but I took it for granted.
And when I was in 8 standard,I was caught with tobacco packet inside the class.I was expelled from the hostel, suspended from classes for 7 days and imposed ₹5000 fine.It was my dad who stood by me,he came all the way from village.
He requested school principal to forgive and reconsider me but in vain,and I still remember there was no thousands rupees in dad's pocket at that time to pay the fine,he took loan to pay my fine.
I was all the same stupid, naughty,bad guy even after all these.
When I was in class 10, I stayed with cousin brother far away from village.
During Christmas, parents allowed me to stay in Mon town and prepare for metric, I kept brother cousin as my helper.
During Christmas, parents allowed me to stay in Mon town and prepare for metric, I kept brother cousin as my helper.
On Christmas day,dad sent me some money but I spent it for vodka and whisky. I was ugly drunk that night and fought a few fights with others.My cousin told me that he found me lying on the roadside at night and brought me home.
It was the turning night of my life.
I was awakened in the middle of the night by a scary dreams.
In my dreams,there were two persons, dressed poorly,sitting on chairs.One stood up and that was my dad then he asked me ''Akaai(me),what are you doing here? Have I asked you to do these? I have sent you here only for study,What had happened to you? Look at my clothes?,look at my empty stomach?,look at your mom,look at her torn clothes,look at us we don't even have a shirts to wear,there is nothing to eat at home,we toils hard for your school fees. Many a times we go to bed with empty stomach,many a times we wakes up to eat nothing, tonight is the Christmas night, you should be praying for your parents,instead you came home drunk? Is this a Christmas gift for us?? Don't you pity your mom??Why are you doing this,why?''
Then mom stood up and said ''Yes Akaai,your dad is right,If you do this again,we will leave you forever''.Then mom asked ''Will you stop this??''. I said nothing,then she called dad telling that they will leave me, and as they walked out,I shouted mom, mom,dad? please don't leave me.I cried and as I got up from the bed to follow them,I woke up,and I found myself crying.As I cried aloud,my cousin woke up and started to scold me telling that he came only to help me study.

I couldn't sleep thereafter,lots of questions started flowing into my mind.I took out those whisky bottles that I kept in my room,and I kneed down and prayed to God to take away all bad things.I spitted and threw them away from my life forever.WHY because I wanted to give a real gift to my parents
So from that day,I tried to be a good boy, I wanted to study hard, I wanted to be a child that my parents wished for.So I studied hard and I was the 1st student to bring highest marks in metric examination and I was the 1st science student,and also the 1st MBBS student from our village.
When my parents knew that I quit drinking,when they knew that I have become a God fearing boy,when they knew that I have become a good student,when they knew that I was going to study MBBS,my parents were the happiest and proudest persons on earth.
I may not be able to give them lakhs of rupees,I may not be able to give them good food and clothes,even if I get a job,I may not be able to give them or they may not be alive by that time,but all I wanted to give them was the happiness.I wanted to make them feel proud.I wanted to see happiness and smile into their poor eyes.
I tell you friends,the love, respect, happiness and obedience that you give your parents will be the best gift.
They may be happy to take lakhs of rupees from you but that's momentary. Every parents wants to see their children as good God fearing students not involving in those bad/illegal activities,and becoming one of them would be your best gift to them.You may be a brilliant student but if you involve in those sinful activities,if you don't fear God,then I don't think your parents will be really happy.
When I started studying MBBS,my parents were the proudest to tell that their son was studying MBBS.
It was my dad who used to go around telling everyone that his son was studying MBBS, and that proud feelings and happiness was all I wanted to give my poor dad..I wanted to get the MBBS degree certificate and give him and make him feel prouder than ever but unfortunately he couldn't wait for me and he passed away 1 year after I joined MBBS.. Of course I'm not satisfied that he left me before completion of my studies,yet I'm satisfied that I made him proud,I gave him happiness,more precious than a gold or diamonds. What more could I give him than being a good child to him. And I hope he'd be happy and proud even on the way to paradise to talk about me. ''Aren't you Daddy??,
Isn't my gift a best gift I can give to you? Does it mean more than a lakhs of rupees to you?''
So my Dear friends,I'm sure every parents wants love,respect,and obedience rather than lakhs of rupees. I consider myself as my best gift to my parents,what's your best gift??.
