. But I was too sure of my ability and went ahead to pack the computer. I noticed something while packing. The computer ACTUALLY seemed heavier! I have lifted and packed computers many times before, but this one seemed really heavy. I further thought about it and I was trying to remember the last time I lifted really heavy stuff. I couldn't remember lifting anything heavy after marriage :). Obviously..... I had my husband by my side to help me lift heavy stuff..... I was disappointed with myself. Hugely disappointed. I basically lost the habit. But of course, I did manage to pack the computer :).Why I talk about this today? Because I felt the need to tell myself that I need to be strong :). Its amazing how we differentiate work between genders. Lifting stuff, going to a bank, fill
ing gas (trust me, after marriage, I religiously delegated this job to my husband coz I don't like to do it :) ) is definitely a guy's thing, no matter how easy or hard the work is. Similarly, cooking is a girls' job. Ask men and that is what you will hear (even though my husband cooks). The biggest disadvantage of this kind of division is that we will eventually end up forgetting what we knew how to do. Guys who stop cooking right after marriage totally end up forgetting how to cook as a result depend on their wives to feed them. Same with girls. We should never depend on someone else for something that we can accomplish on our own. That way, the computer will NEVER seem heavier! I learnt this lesson over the weekend :).Thats all from me now.... will see you all later!
