- “Oh how come you take math in arts? Oh it’s tough to get into science na!”

- “Lucky yaaaaaaaaa, you don’t have to work so much for exams it’s easy for you guys” (Another story that I wouldn’t even if I were in your important field :P )

- This takes the cake – we’re talking about MS (computer science) students in the US: “Oh, you people also have assignments?”
[Well, not really. They give us some blocks of shapes and colors to sort, if we can't finish it in class time, we take it home as assignment (Yes I actually answered that once :P )]

In other words: I HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR. Wonderfully written!

PS: I’m willing to give many the benefit of doubt that they’re just trying to make conversation – but not all of them, no.

Me: I quite enjoyed your comment! :) ))) …and I agree, most definitely not all of them were trying to make conversation! ;)
Thanks for dropping by Gauri. :)

Lol @ “For me spring cleaning means, removing unwanted stuff from My Documents…” I echo you, ‘why do we have to justify our choice’??!!! Not to mention the umpteen questions of ‘Do you work??’ we have to face!!! Hrrrmmmph :( :P

Usha, couldn’t help laughing out loud imagining your performance and the look of amazement of the dogs!! Hahaha!! :D Thank you, thank you for the appreciation!! I am thrilled. BTW, your poetry has me spellbound! Will be back on your page for more.

Deep deep empathy from me, :D , first off, for the way it still is! I must say that it’s probably the darnest, most idiotic things to ask, but then the world will… :)

Having been on your side of things as well, for a very very long time, till I decided to add to the work ..:D.. I already did, I know exactly what you have so beautifully, so utterly delightfully expressed! A treat, really, to read this! I just wanted to stand up, applaud, and shout.. C’mon, let’s hear it for the Home-maker!! And then I did, much to the amazement of my dogs, who were the sole audience of the performance, Lol!!

Thank you too, for dropping by at my space. Can’t tell you how glad it makes me, for I found another treasure trove in words!!

Quite a predicament! I had to…er… stil have to face it when people ask me….”Oh! You left your job! How do you spend time now?” with such concern for my meaningless existence! When I say, I cook a lot of square meals for the family now…read a lot…and blog, it is as though they are are humouring a pampered child… The sympathy is very evident in their eyes!

I am not much of a dusting , cleaning and rearranging -the- furniture- at -the- drop- of -a -hat kind of homemaker either… For me spring cleaning means, removing unwanted stuff from My Documents…

Why should we Non- Working women have to justify our choice?

I just haven’t figured it out yet as to why a stay-at-home woman should be housewife!! Sounds as if she married the house and not the man. Hmm… I wonder if that is true!!???!!!!!!!!! :O:O:O

But… I somehow controlled my poor self from laughing in front of them! (hehe al though i giggled within me :D ) I only hope that someone doesn’t ask me if I am a ‘House Wife’ or ‘OFFICE WIFE’ :O Gosh!!! That would have a different meaning…. hahahahahahahaha :) )
