During my first attempt at writing Gender Bender Moments, I, as a friend would say - 'bhawnao main behe giya' ! As a result I put down only two points against the authorised ten. A deficiency of eight. So this post is to make amends for that. Starting from the beginning.

My Sins Against Gender Stereotypes.

1. I have done embroidery once and loved it. Really found in therapeutic under the circumstances.

2. Written a book on Women and Peacekeeping! Hope to get it published someday soon.

3. I wear orange coloured running shoes! And that construes a gender stereo-type violation for me.

4. I love cooking and rue that I don't cook more often. My speciality - the BBQ.
5. Invariably when watching sentimental scenes I get this speck of dust in my eyes and they start watering over. And when I try to surreptitiously wipe of the water, I get accused by my wife of getting senti ;-)

6. I am all for women driving and especially for putting the car back into the garage at night. But seriously I believe all women should be able to drive - it is essential - how else will the men be able to get back from parties stone drunk with all the breathalyser tests nowadays.

7. I absolutely detest cricket. Absolutely. I am football guy.

8. I can clear the table after a meal better and faster than anyone else in the house - and I enjoy doing it - when I do it that is!

9. I actually believe in women's rights and not just in their wrongs.

10. I can catch snakes - even poisonous ones with my bare hands etc - BUT i am absolutely petrified of uncomfortable with cockroaches.

There. That's done with. Now I tag Witty Jester Sreekanth Arpana ...more when I come across them.
