My Sins Against Gender Stereotypes

My blog guru Indian Home Maker has started this fun fun tag which has created a storm on the blog world with everyone tagging each other with it! I have been tagged by the guru herself  as well as SmithaThe tag is called ‘My Sins against Gender-Stereotypes’. And you must tag twelve blogging friends or else you will be cursed to wear blue clothes pants if you are a woman and pink shirts if you are a man – for next twelve years.
Though I love color blue and really no matter how much you love a color you don't want to wear the same thing for 12 years!! So here we go with my sins......

  1. I have been told by many 'traditional' people "bilkul ladkon wala utsaah hai" (she has the zeal and excitement of a boy) 
  2. I love driving
  3. I would rather read than gossip.
  4. I do not like the parties where men and women just want to sit in  separate areas. My idea of party is not gossip and recipe sharing. 
  5. I can troubleshoot my appliances, computers and phones on my own.
  6. I really enjoy and look forward to having beer and wine. (ghor paap!!)
  7. I am the appointed bug killer at home and I feel good about it!
  8. I do not like chocolates.
  9. I do not like stories about princesses.
  10. I enjoy turning around furniture all over the house. Many a times, husband comes home to find the whole setup changed. 
  11. I have a much better sense of direction than many men I know.
  12. being docile isn't my cup of tea.
  13. Do not like to watch soaps on TV, my favorite channel is National Geographic and Discovery.
  14. I am the first one to get ready in our family.
  15. I enjoy reading instructions and assembling things.
  16. Doing pujas is not my thing at all, I would do anything to avoid them.
It seems I got so late picking up the tag because everyone around seems to have been tagged already.
