A month into Corporate

A month into being a "working mahila", as a friend calls us and I have noticed some things.

• You cannot avoid the aunty type handbag if you go looking for something to take to work. That is primarily because there exist only 3 types of bags:

1. college bags
2. aunty bags [that our mums used to take to work when we were kids]
3. party bags- very flashy, and all seem to have gold or silver on them.

So I ended up taking a normal back pack type of bag to office.

• Mums look younger than you. Go to a park, and u see a fit and trim gal chasing a lil kid n then you realise that she is a mum.. Gosh, when did I start comparing myself to mums!! Yuck!!!
• When the driver says Maam, it is for you, not for ur mum. Similarly when the driver asks for his fees, he asks you, not your Dad.
• When your Dad buys a new car, Something stops you from calling it your car. N then you realise its because people joining with you have "their own car", not their Dad's.
• When people talk of their girlfriends/boyfriends they dont blush anymore or offer any space to tease. Everything is now at a more serious level. So pulling their leg over a phone call looks very silly.
• And now u have to handle your investments n taxes and all. Your dad cannot do that for you.Nor can you run to him for help. "You are accountable to the company"
