Mars and Venus

This is the difference between men and women

A typical girl's packing list :

  • Clothes - 5 pairs of pants, 10 t- shirts, nightclothes, casual wear, formal wear, 2 sarees, party wear, that black spaghetti that makes my butt look small, 300 pairs of innerwear

  • Toiletries -toothbrush, soap, shampoo, conditioner, post shower leave in conditioner, coconut oil, moisturizing lotion, sunscreen, waterproof sunscreen, makeup, cotton buds, hair brushes (3 kinds) earrings, rings, clips, hairbands

  • Money - lots :)

  • cd's

  • Medicines - Crocin, Coldarin, Nise, Avomin, Domestaal, Pudin Hara, Band Aid, Nebasulf, Soframycin

  • Diary

  • Stationery - Notebooks, Stapler, Punching machine, pens, pencils, erasers

  • Pics of mum and dad and sis and friends

  • Cell phone, charger, ipod, accesories, rechargable batteries and charger


A typical guy's packing list

This is purely imaginary. Since a typical guy's packing list is by definition is a conundrum. Just like your typical guy who is both an ox and a moron.

  • Clothes - As many pants as can be found, T shirts. Both pairs of innerwear

  • Toiletries - Throw in toothbrush into side pouch of bag at last minute

  • CD's

  • Money - Lots

  • Phone + Charger

"Just like your typical guy who is both an ox and a moron"

Now that is a very broad generalisation Suze but then I guess its what women do best, and btw I lost at bowling by 5 points last evening damn!!!Next time...

Suze said...

ah well.. i specialize in broad generalizations :)

and ha ha @ bowling - i guess fortunes changed :)

Girish said...

i see a gender bias on the last item on both lists. Or has it jus been overlooked. Surely, guys are a tad more techy than 'phone + charger'??

I pardon though, thanks to my being a gentleman at worst.
:-)

satosphere said...

The imaginary list is quite accurate, except with respect to the clothing items.

And I did plan quite a bit. And Excel helped.

Suze said...

grin.
girish. sure guys are a LOT more tech minded. amongst the guys i know going to A with me, i'm the one assembling a comp while they accept what the insti gives.

and i'm the one toting an ipod, inmotion speakers, extra battery charger for the ipod, phone, charger, handsfree, bluetooth connector for comp, wireless mouse etc. while their lists ARE phone + charger :)

so that alone i guess wasn't a very BROAD generalization..

and sat, i can imagine you poring over excel spreadsheet optimizing your luggage :)

i think therefore i am said...

oy!!! i think i know where the lists come from..obsessive compulsive disorder... LOL!!! anyways a fun read..

You forgot the matter cds/mags/books. And the shaving stuff.

Why does everybody seem to own a black spaghetti? Not that I'm complaining...

Saraansh said...

Don't you dare hahaha @ my bowling coz we all know how madam did at hers :-)

satosphere said...

That I did, suzy, that I did.

Suze said...

ashmant, lolz at hygiene concious guys!!.. i'll believe it when i see it.

sat, see i think this obsessiveness runs in the family. :)

saaransh, madam was getting ready to bowl your ass off but unfortunately had to go home :)

and mahathi darlin.. obsessive?? moi?? i'll hurl my color coded files at you (psst : this is a subtle reminder to give it back)

Saraansh said...

Bowl my ass off eh...hmm...quite the dreamy one, aren't you?? :-)

Zingy said...

I agree, except for the medicines part. I've never bothered on that one. I have to relocate soon y'knw and the packing situation is already giving me nitemares! BTW I identify with your 'Catch 22' profile below.

Came here from Prashanth's blog. Visit moi wen you get the time n enthu!

satosphere said...

Well, seeing your list, even you are obsessive.

And arent we all in the same family?

Suze said...

sat, that's what i meant.. both of us are quite obsessive :)

and prashant.. it's conditioner that you leave in your hair (as opposed to washing it off) after a shower :)

akshay said...

the classification makes sense.. tho' i would rename the categories.. the first one would be 'When moms pack for their kids' and the second one would be 'when kids attempt to pack themselves'. There are ofcourse exceptions.. but i believe that this would be the 'broad classification'

Lol.. you forgot the footwear for women. Atleast 3 pairs for a 2 day trip ;-).
