Hi all,

Huma nice thread. Let me start with peeling onions, it is not after you peel but even before you start peeling the onions put it in water and then start peeling it you wont have tears flowing down.

Hey washing the dishes............... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............... I dont mind doing it if my skin dont get the small rashes after washing the dishes even with the best of the dishwashing soaps or liquids. Though I have a maid I have to do atleast the plates, coffee tumblers, spoons and laddles.

Toilets yes me and my husband takes turns cleaning them. We have put a combination closet in one of the toilets. It is a combination of both Indian and Western you can use it in either style you want. I dont know whether it is available everywhere. It is hygenic and at the same time easy to clean too.

I prefer the western toilet. In india the western one doesn't flush right. The kneeling is bad for the legs and even if you use water in indian toilet I still
need toilet tissue for drying.

I dont mind to cook and to wash dishes after that coz we are only 3 person at home - so not much to wash. About bath and toilet- i really hate to clean them. But the last i try is to clean them 2 times a week - in this way they cant become so dirty and its easy to clean them

How do you guys do the ironing ........ all at one stretch or do you iron the dresses , as & when needed ? Which is more economical, less strain on the current bill ??

Hi All,

For cooking and cleaning restaurent and takeout is the best option.

For ironing send all the cloathing to dry clean.

For cleaning toilets use only public toilets so that can avoid cleaning


hahahhaah.....


If this can be done practically It's a Beautiful life..

what do you say ladies???

Krish.

Hi all,
Nowadays who is washing clothes, vessels and cleaning houses. These works are do only servant maids. Am i correct??? But i do all the work mine. Not servant maid. I don't like servant maid's work. I washed vessels immediately. Not (appuram panniklam) (no somberithanam). So work is not difficult. very interesting.
