Men Are Good At Folding Newspaper

Being the hard core feminist that I am, I find it hard to accept the fact but its true. Men are better at folding newspapers. Every morning I rush to catch the early morning bus to our new campus, located in a kingdom far far away. I dont get to enjoy my daily 'sip the coffee and read the morning paper' routine anymore, so I take the newspaper along. I make myself comfortable in a seat next to one among the very few windows that can be opened, where the roof doesnt leak, where the seat is clean and where its least likely that someone would sit next to me and expect me to chat. Yes, I work for an MNC which is among the top 5 in the world, but my bus journey is another sad story.

So I take out my paper, in case if I dont feel sleepy, and try reading the news while the pages are fluttering and there is not enough space to spread the paper around. I try to fold the paper in between somewhere to make it easy but I just cant! I've sneakily observed men reading paper in the bus and they are really good at folding the paper. Just where there is an interesting article they fold the paper outward, taking care that no page falls down and smoothen the edge at the middle. The paper is crisp and good as the paper guy would have handed it out. I look at my collection of crumpled, unmanaged and unorderly pages and sigh. No one would even bother to ask me the paper to read it. So I bow down and hats off to men at being better paper folders, I mean being better at folding the newspaper.

Feminist inside me: Atleast they are good at one thing.
