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:)

* I like watching re-runs of Friends. It used to be our way of de-stressing and relaxing, especially after a long 3.5 hour journey to and from work everyday.

* I like to walk rather than take the bus/train or drive the car. Its refreshing and the uphill/downhill walking in this city along with pushing Aditi's pram acts as a workout too.

* I prefer a long journey by train to the bus. I would listen intently to every announcement made by the driver irrespective of them being repeated at every station. Some of the best decisions in life have been taken on the train.

* I try to keep fit by working out at home with the help of fitness DVD's. I am not against the Gym, but it is easier for me to work out from the comfort of my home.

* Sudoku is my favorite puzzle/passtime during travel or at home. That was the solution to my boredom during those lonely nights when Prashanth would be on night duties.

* I prefer to have a bath first thing in the morning before tea/cofee. With great difficulty, I had to change this after Aditi's birth to be during her nap times.

* I always want a clean kitchen sink, without any utensils/coffee mugs lying in it. I cant stand it in other's kitchens as well and will offer to clear their sink off any dirty items.

Now I'd like to get the following heads thinking: 2B's mommy,Mona and Geetha
