I am realizing few things with my new endeavors in cooking. For women, burnt marks on their hands are like war medals. From what I understand(and atleast about the women in my home) they like to show off the burnt marks they aquire during cooking. It clearly means that this lady knows how to cook. My younger sister recently got one too and few women were very very proud of her. there was one comment which said “haan tu toh ghar ka kaam jaanti hai na”.
I got slightly burnt too recently. It doesn’t show. I AM HAPPY. I DON”T REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT ANY BURNT MARKS ON MY HANDS. It is on my finger. I got singed while moving the chapati. The skin is slightly sore but thankfully no marks. I don’t understand women!
