Soccer Moms in vogue

The "Soccer Mom" culture is prevalent in cities like Bangalore and Gurgaon also.
Specially in apartment complexes, parents are competing like anything. All moms are either running to Tennis classes, Dance classes, Music classes, swimming, karate, painting, horse riding, or some other classes all the time.
Like polio drops motto "No child should be left behind", Shiamak Davar also has the same motto. Each and every child in Bangalore's society has to take Shiamak davar Classes. It is not Shiamak's fault but there is a crazy rat race going on here. And there is extreme pressure for education as well.

The by-products are- The home is left on maids, family expenses go sky rocketing, children spend a lot of time in extra curricular activities and in running around.

Also, this is my observation and has nothing to do with anyone, women(house wives) seem to have a lot of time at hand. May be because husbands work for 14-16 hrs a day, husbands come home late and leave for work late, they can afford maids so they will have maids even if they dont need some, or whatever, but some women spend 4-6 hours a day chit chatting in person outdoors. This does not include phone gossiping time. You never have this kind of luxury in the US. But this could be one reason for the crazy training sessions for kids or may be just because we are getting more westernized then western counteries themselves. So, like everything western, we need some soccer moms also here.
