Afzal Toseef, famous educationist, writes in her autobiography that during her teaching experience at one of Home Economics college in Lahore, she learnt that there are students from elite families, who just join college for getting degree and learn some attequetes to be selected by amma (her would be MIL). Otherwise, the education at most of Home Economics colleges teaches these begmaat (would be) to spend Rs 500, when they can do with spending Rs 5.
How do you see the role of Home Economics colleges in our society? Do they promote savings and avoiding extravagance?
As stated its for degree, learning latest trends in fashion, getting selected by saasu maa and learning spending unnecessarily than saving. Otherwise, Khansamna, butlers, gardeners are always there to help them out. They just learn how to ubaalo anda in almost ten classes
Do you know some cooking? I saw my sis and cousins attaching small packets of grains (daal, chawal) with their note books for ‘Home Economics’. lols, when I went for buying books for class 6, I also bought Home economics and later found that it was not taught to boys. How discriminatory
My first experience was tori ki sabzi… I added tw glass of water in half Kg tori and had to wait for an hour keeping the dish on tez aanch later knew, tori main to apna pani hota hai.
Haha. Well you learn after each time! Only desi thing I can make is chicken salans, rest is steaks roast etc. I also learnt how to make home made naans. Takes long tho for an amateur like me lol
I know how to cook (and bake as well). That includes our traditional cooking and non-traditional cooking as well. I’ve had an interest since high school.
Do you have an interest in cooking? If you lived in the UK, I could totally teach you as I enjoy cooking and have loads of patience to explain.
