Home Management ??!

We've all probly heard the story where the Dad and Mom interchange their jobs for a day...with the Dad staying at home and the Mom going to office (all the working women out there - this was an old one, no stereotypes intended). So as it turns out, Dad ends up having a horrid time managing the house - That's what I term Home management.

Believe me, its no easy task. I mean, when ure a bachelor staying with other bachelors, there are these completely enigmatic instances that arise, the answers to which no one knows - or discusses - until the weekend. For example:

1) Who will wash the dishes?
2) Who will clean the glass cabinets(The maid's as lazy as us)?
3) Who will shop for groceries (no chance on weekdays)?
4) Who will get the clothes from the ironing guy?
5) Who the f**k kept this bag of atta in here? Now its got bugs all over...
6) There's a tiny #$%$# mouse in the house.... what do we do??

So as it turns out, the moms are now given their share of ego boosts as the honhaar sons call to get some expert advice on these management skills.
"Maa.... how do I clean this stain on my shirt?" ...."Mummy....the rain's soaked the laundry....again....it smells now, but I can still wear the stuff, right?"..."Maa.... how do I cook daal? I gotta impress my office-mates"(wasn't me....whistling and walking away)

But you know what, its not as bad as it sounds.... keeping a home.... yea, we have the occassional ups and downs... but as long as they can be ignored, with everyone watching 'Basic Instinct' on Star Movies, life's good, thank you.

Mwaah

P.S: Really...what do I do about that mouse??

HI Mohit... Nice to see how u manage ur home.

For the mouse -- get a tasty vada, mix it with rat killer medicine and keep it in the kitchen where u have spotted the mouse. It really works. That used to me my mom's idea :)

Hey Mohit,
Haha...so mommy...oops daddy...
Arre...kya bolaaon?
Thank god it is just ‘home management’ for which u call up the honhaar mommies...I shudder to think what other issues there could be;-)

N Basic Instincts still holds good?
Waah! Sharon Stone is one lucky dame!:-)

And about the mouse...well, two suggestions:
1. Use him on the computer pad*offo...poor joke...ignore...follow the second one*
2. Get a cat;-)

I hate you for making me comment at a time when I am juggling with things and about to step out!

But this post was so ROFL :D

ps Mice are soooo cute! Come on now. Tolerate the poor creature. And if you must, make it leave, then do this. Get a mouse friendly, safe trap. Trap said mouse in it. And let him/her loose somewhere a lil far off, where there is good food and booze! :)

Hmm... home management! Mouse in the house! That reminded me of some old days. About 2 or 3 mouse incidents had taken place in our house. And I don't know why, all of them took shelter in my room! Probably there's more drawers in my room than any other's. In the middle of the night I used to hear sounds of running and jumping of those filthy creatures! It was awful! We couldn't kill it with rat poison or anything else. Later we came out with a cruel but fruitful idea! It was hiding under my wardrobe. We boiled one large bowl of water, very hot, and splashed it on the floor! It came out running, we splashed more! And yes, it was hurt and weak and trapped and almost boiled and killed! Later we disposed it off! Do I sound cruel? Just imagine, it could cause you plague and other disease! It may just dived into the local sewerage! While you're sleeping, it can crawl on you and even bite you!

home management is supposed to be the second most dreaded task , first being teaching...

I dont find it that difficult.. but my home doesnt look good to the eyes of other observers .. for me theres really nothing wrong in a tshirt lying on the floor and jeans on the couch...
