Lists like this seem so mundane when you read about someone in your own culture. When you read about someone on the other side of the world, it's really a tiny window on the (major!) differences in culture.
I have the things you do not (big bathtub, um...several, actually, oven, porch, etc.), BUT DURNIT, WHERE IS MY HELPER? LOL ;-)
Even the poorest in the U.S. have most of these household items, but usually only the wealthy have helpers. (I'm assuming you mean a househelper of some kind?)
This was fun and enlightening, Bungi.
Yes that was an American forward filled in truthfully from someone in India. Surprisingly as an American in India I would have filled it out similarly.
Sounds an awful lot like my place! This is an interesting meme.
I don't have emergency money (interesting question), and no weapons beyond the dust bunnies that roll around a litle when the front door is open!
God bless.
Gitu - Hey, what happened to the extra 'r' in your blog name? Not telling you what soap i use. :P
CU - Hope you had a great Deepawali too!
Julie - Errr... I promise you i didn't do anything... *grin*
Nancy - He he. Yeah. I knew it was a Western one. But i thought i should try it. After all the Indian bloggers were tagged this time. And it sort of highlights the differences in cultures. It's interesting, hey?
Sandy - Lol. Thank you.
its bar soap
Comet and Soft Scrub are bathroom cleaners--generally for the bathtub! :-) Actually, you use them anywhere in the bathroom. Comet is a harsh powder, with bleach, and gets the really bad stuff; Soft Scrub is supposed to work well but not scratch surfaces (but it's yucky! Gloopy!). You learn something new every day, huh?
Mahatma, you would NOT want to use either of these products on your skin if you plan to keep it. LOL
I just had to add that when we were kids, we used to sing this song (to the tune of another song, which I cannot remember):
Comet, it makes your teeth so green
Comet, it tastes like gasoline
Comet, it makes you vomit
So buy some comet
And vomit
Today
I knew you'd appreciate that. ;-)
Julie - Lol. That is funny!! And thanks for the info about Comet and Softscrub. Personally, what do you recommend? :P
The question-set would dissapointingly take so many 'No' from a mundane Indian ! sigh
Time You came out with the next blog

Sandhya - Well, that is because it is written with a different set of answerers in mind. ;-)
CU - Thanks for pushing me to do it. Posted the next one just now.
