Video of 14-year-old Ruchit cooking while his mother is ill goes viral

When the mother of a household falls ill, the whole routine of the home is thrown off. Only when the woman who rises every morning to prepare everyone's lunchbox, breakfast and meals is confined to bed does her true worth become clear. If the son steps forward at such a time and says, "Mother, you rest, I will cook today's meal," there can be no happier moment for her. One such video is going viral on social media and has touched many people.

The video shows 14-year-old Ruchit running the kitchen while his mother is ill. He took full responsibility and prepared the entire meal. His mother herself shared the video on social media, and he has since been showered with praise from all sides.

The video was posted on Instagram by a woman named Nisha Tanwar. It shows her son Ruchit kneading dough in the kitchen. Nisha said she had a severe cold and cough. She felt very tired and weak, and even getting out of bed was difficult. Ruchit then came forward on his own and said, "I will do it."

In the video, he kneads the dough and rolls out chapatis with ease. Watching him, one would never guess he was in the kitchen for the first time.

Ruchit's mother said he can do more than knead dough, as he also makes good chapatis. He is also learning to cook vegetable dishes, and is gradually picking up the other kitchen chores. Going into the kitchen is not new to him, and he has always helped his mother.

In many homes, girls are still taught kitchen work from childhood while boys are kept away. Women often tell their sons, "Don't do this, your sister will do it, why have you come into the kitchen?" Doing housework is nothing to be ashamed of. Real greatness lies in taking responsibility for one's own home and helping one's mother. A home does not belong only to the mother or the sister; it belongs to everyone who lives in it, and looking after it is everyone's job.

After the video went viral, people praised not only Ruchit but also his mother. Raising a son this way is not easy. This mother has taught her son all the chores from childhood and has not discriminated between a boy and a girl. In the comments, people are saying, "Every mother should teach her son like this." They also say that boys, like girls, should be involved in housework, especially in running the kitchen.

This short video has given society a big message: teach boys to cook as well, and get them used to housework. Even if they live alone tomorrow, they will not have to depend on anyone, and they will be able to help their families. Boys like Ruchit are rarely seen these days, and that is why he is being praised so much.
