Feminine Me?

Almost everyone in the blogosphere has done it and I thought it'd be a good way to start my July posts rolling. One common link that I noticed in many blogs is managing finance - be it banks, investments, shares or day-to-day running of the house. And to be honest, I was actually surprised to note so many women manage money. I've seen my mom do it and I do it because I'm interested in it, I like to be in charge. Here goes my list:
- Am not fond of nail varnish. I don't apply it on my fingers or toes. I dont have any either.
- Like DIY and have helped put together many items in the house including our bed frame. We've assembled and disassembled Aditi's cot about a dozen times so far, sometimes I have done it all alone with a toddler by my side.
- Have gone to many strange and new places all alone in a new country. Sometimes with the kiddo too. And never was scared to ask help if I lost my way. Have done in countries where I do not know the local language.
- Admire beauty - look at what clothes other girls wear, their shoes, bags, scarf etc. Sort of the sight adikara types.
- Not a fan of cleaning/washing. I'd love it if the man helped, but have given up on even asking for help.
- Fix bulbs, change fuses, clean the car reguarly, fix the printer, in general I dont wait for him to help me out. Actually I think it's always been the other way around.
- Don't like pointed heels, can't balance myself on them either. Not too fond of fancy clothing too.
- Am the one doing a Master's degree after marriage and child, juggling home, work, family and studies all together.
- Manage the money and keep track of incoming and outgoing funds. The man is content earning it. He thinks its my responsibility to manage it.
- Love all kinds of sports - cricket, tennis, football, Formula 1 and follow them all.

I do love jewellery though, my own special taste, simple yet charming and have trained the husband on what to choose for me too:)
