I have just completed 1 year of living along with a female room mate and I just thought it was a right time to pass along some pearls of wisdom gained during this eventful stay. Before I start passing down my commandments I shall be taking some questions.
Is she my girlfriend? No most certainly not
Is she my sister? We are still awaiting an official word on that
Is she my ex roomie’s girlfriend? Goshie we do have a very informed and sharp gathering here coz you have just hit the nail bang on its head.
Nyways getting back to dispersing my wisdom as knowledge is for sharing (a policy which I have begun to believe in after years of the philosophy being drilled into my head by well informed sources who just happened to be my preceding and succeeding roll numbers at both school and college) so here it goes.
Dirtiness / Filth just like beauty lies in the eye of the beholder so roomed deemed perfectly clean by one might be unlivable according to the other.
Packing is an inherent gift of God with which he only blesses females.
Behind every successful male chef is a great cook in the form of either a mom or a sister and guys can never (ever) match up to the culinary skills of females.
Living with a female room mate doesn’t turn you metro sexual in any way what so ever thankfully.
‘Sex and the City’ isn’t such a bad TV series after all (guys take my word for it).
Some people still bother ironing all their clothes before wearing them (I thought that practice was disallowed for all Indian students in US).
Presence of even one female in the house ensures that you don’t have half eaten bag of chips, popcorn, stacks of lose change strewn over your couch and in your drawing room.
This isn't derived from personal experience but I couldn't resist putting this one in, my room mate discovered one day to the horror of horrors that smelling ur socks b4 wearing them is not an established practice around the world :)
Hmm that pretty much it, I thought I would end up with a longer list than this but I guess its really not been very different from the time I lived in an all guys apartment. Guess she has been like one of guys or conversely I as one of the girls :) (although it sounds not quite the same as the previous statement for some reason but just that I can I didn’t wanna get ripped by any women’s libbers on this blog).

Oh.. And I liked the statement "Dirtiness / Filth just like beauty lies in the eye of the beholder".. Just that I think the other sex never seems to notice it unlike beauty.:)
This was a good post. Atleast you are getting an insight into the female psyche which might come in handy later.
