How worth am I?

Recently I had been to a star hotel in Delhi to meet my distant relative, who was in the city for his official work. Just the entrance of the hotel made me to turn round and round with the mouth open. Then imagine the rooms and lounges. Lack of vocabulary to express such a superb ambiance and construction. I am sure there would have millions or billions in to its infrastructure alone. Okay. Don’t think this post is on the hotel description fully and move to next hit in your web page. It’s all about the matter that we discussed.

There was just a simple question from his side to me. How worth are you today? Does a person of your age with same qualification in another country worth the same? Is it not a foolishness to sit idle and waste your time and knowledge? Don’t you think you depend on your husband for each and everything you need? Till this moment I haven’t given a thought on this much. As for as I am concerned, I had a feeling that I live happily with my husband, take care of the family and house, pass time usefully by learning things on net, read novels, do knitting, etc all at my husband's expense. So the moment my relative asked such questions, I really felt bad on my attitude till date. Even a beggar will have some earnings daily but I am penny less. People abroad of my age and qualification earn in millions, but why I am not? May be not in millions but should at least earn worth my capability isn’t it? Given the current market scenario not sure if I will get any job in the near future. But surely will try to join some work soon.
