My Sins against Gender-Stereotypes

I got tagged by Comfy and Smitha to write about – ‘My Sins against Gender-Stereotypes’. which was created by the super blogger IHM 


Here goes my list of 10 things that I have done which I am not supposed to as a woman:
1. I like being in control of every trip, thing that I do. I don't relinquish control that easily :) I take charge of everything.
2. I have stayed alone for more than a year and enjoyed that phase of life. 
3. I don't wear make up that often and detest jewellery. I prefer a jeans and T-shirt any day to  salwars, saris etc
4. I like to read manuals of gadgets and make sure I make maximum usage of the gadget.
5. I love searching for deals for electronic items.
6. I hate heels and do not own a single pair of high-heeled shoe. I think most of the girls will hit me for this :)
7. I like driving because it makes me feel I am independent. I hate depending on anyone for anything.
8. I can change bulbs, fix things with a screw driver - a general handy man of sorts.
9. I like to explore and see around more than anyone. I like to go for walks and check what is around to do.
10. I have a knack to find coupons to use for most of the expensive things that I buy.

And now for the tough part. I’ve got to tag people. Apparently according to IHM, if you read this and you don’t take the tag up , you are  - ‘cursed to wear blue pants if you are a woman and pink shirts if you are a man – for next twelve years’.

Because everyone I know already has been tagged, I tag everyone who reads this blog :) 

Things about me……

…………..that you may or may not know, but are true. Yup! that’s the tag passed on from Colormesunshine. The rules are:

Tell your readers 10 things about you that they may or may not know, but are true..

Tag 10 people with the award, and be sure to let them know they’ve been tagged (a quick comment on their blog will do).

Link back to the blogger who tagged you.

Ohh my! 10 things that people don't know about me :) That's very difficult task :)

1. I love cooking and trying out new recipes. I'm a sucker for food blogs and love love the way people give helpful tips while creating a dish

2. I prefer not sleeping during the day. I hateeeeee sleeping during afternoon on weekends. I feel it's a waste of time

3. I like doing things like knitting, cross stitching. Most of my friends find it a weird trait in a computer engineer ;) (I'm currently knitting a multi directional diagonal scarf :) I will put up a picture sometime this week)

4. I loveeeeeeeee eating. I'm trying to control my weight but I can't seem to eat in moderation all the time!

5.I like travelling and seeing new places. I've seen almost all the places in US now. You name it, I've been there :) I would love to see Europe and Australia.

6. I have to-do lists for every single thing to do - while visiting places, while going to the grocery, while moving house. You name it and I have the list. I think I have OCD sometimes! I can't leave things half done in between.

I can't think of any more right now but will add as it comes to mind :)

I would like to pass this tag to many people but have just selected 10 now that come to mind:

Monika - I'm so impressed by her determination to lose weight! I would love to hear new things about her

Asaan - I like her super saver tips. I'm so jealous of the things that she gets in thrift stores. After seeing her stuff, I'm planning to go to the thrift stores when I need to buy some stuff.

Soyfeliz - He's a good friend but I would still like to know some new stuff about him that no one knows!

Raj - Would like to hear what things people don't know about him. He's a very straight forward person.

Shilpa - Oh her dishes are so yummy and so typical of Mangalore. She recently put up posts about breadfruit and my memories of my mom's awesome curry made me almost cry!

Chandni - I'm a avid reader of her blog. She's really nice and has lovely posts!

Choxbox - Like her family and the way she writes about them

Sundar - Oh the posts about his missus and his two sweet kids! I love them and wait to see his next post. I'm going to try his Mysore pak recipe soon!

Swaram - I like her sweet simple logical way of posting. Her posts are really good and I keep waiting for her next one!

Kiran - I like both her blogs http://thirtysixandcounting.wordpress.com and http://karmickids.blogspot.com/. I love the tales about the brat and stuff he does hehehhe Would like to hear from her
