Yahaan bhi hai Wahaan bhi hai !

X and Y

If you think I'm a nice guy... you're wrong! I'm a nice girl ! That's right... I have two X-chromosomes. Oye u...yes u only! Kindly wipe that shocked expression off your face. :-\

Somehow people have had trouble believing this for as long as I can remember. I have vivid memory of the time when I'd gone to buy school shoes and the shopkeeper, after spending a good 15 minutes in the store room, came out with a pair of shoes. Size was mine; the shoe type though, was unfortunately male!!

As a kid I would wear only jeans n tees, had short hair, a cricket bat and ball in hand, and could forever be heard yelling "catcheeet!!" (this while playing with a bunch of boys). Actually I used to feel very proud if someone mistook me for a boy. You see, I was quite a tom boy. ;) On picnics, while the adults sat and... umm .. did whatever adults do on picnics, we, the bachcha party would wander off in a group to explore, climb trees, rocks, everything. I still take pride in the fact that I often managed to climb faster and higher than the boys my age - and then teased them.

Subtract the bunch of boys and the cricket bat. Add a few inches to the height, a few extra pounds and some more... and you've got...ME! Still with short hair, but not a tom boy any more. [This is where people who know me should keep shut..!] So, that's me people! A *ahem* normal and *ahem ahem* average 'girl' ... if you discount the fact that I was notoriously popular in school for not wearing a hairband!

PS: Doubts cleared? No?? Check my profile. It says "Female". And then go check Trinaa's posts and comments where she constantly talks about me with words like "she" and "her". That should do it.

cute pic. and i never had any doubts to start with :D

Stupidosaur said...

Very cute baby pic.

Umm never confused about your gender.

BYW when I was in kindergarten, if my mom's patients would see us going to school with me wearing a raincoat, they would almost be up in arms with my mother, insisting that the cute kid with her must be a girl, not a boy as she insists.

Then I has to remove raincoat cap/hood (nothing more), show scoool id etc to convince.

BTW urv, I too have several pics with me dressed as a girl (U see my mom took fancy of taking ppl's misconceptions a step further)

But all's well now. Things have changed from the cute kid days, except for the 'cute' in the part ;)

Loved the blog :) awesomely written... and no need to say this, but the pic is a timeless classic :D :D

I was initially confused with the short hair in ur pic and the initials HP(like most others),... But after reading your posts and knowing the way you write your blogs, I knew you could only be a girl, to write such heart-felt things :)

Cheers

Hey ! That is a cute pic :)

I have recently started following your blog.. but luckily ( for me :D ) you looked like a girl only :D

May be the major reason being, as you mentioned, checking Trinaa's comments where she always refer to you as "her" :)
