A Kitchen in the Corner of the House by Ambai

Page 6: Women, culture and society ppt

A short piece of fictional narrative by Ambai is given below: ‘The basin in the Kitchen is extremely small. And the drainage is poor. If the servant woman washes the vessels there, the whole Kitchen gets flooded. And Papaji, if you hang the clothes outside the window, the mountain is hidden.’

And he looked at Kishan. And that skilled architect agreed with his wife.

‘What she says is right, Papaji. Why don’t we do it?’ ‘And when did you go near the Kitchen? ‘When she cooked up that Mysore-style meal, it was he

who sliced the onions and chillies for her,’ said Jiji.’(Butalia, Urvashi, “Inner Line” 2006, p.66)
