¡°Was anything stopping you from doing those when you were not in the US?¡± asked an user. ¡°Enough manual work in India if we want. What keeps you from doing this in India?¡± said another.
¡°Well, somehow this feels less of empowerment and more of majboori (compulsion) because of high-cost household support staff,¡± wrote a third. Check the viral tweet here.
