Venus verses Mars

We women are blessed. Most of us women share an undeniable....well ....almost an invisible cord of sisterhood with each other. We have the ability to become friends in a split second and behave like we have known each other for a million years especially if they share the same hobbies, have kids, go to the same supermarket, read the same books or have similar life's crisis etc.
Men .... most of them have a problem understanding this. This form of gender net-working is perceived ..... well..... as gossiping. This may be true if the whole town knows about it and of course when only half truths are divulged.
Remember the donkey in the movie 'Shrek', ' Only a true friend would be that honest'.
Me, I am blessed to have a handful who lovingly and loyally brace up to me. Being the only child, I realized that sisterhood is not born through flesh. They are everywhere. In different ages, sizes, colors and backgrounds .....
A salute to all my dearest sisters, a big hug to all of you. Thank you

Well, what about the men. Give them a couple of beers, chips .... in this case a packet of Murrukku ( Indian tit-bits) or a bag of Menglembu groundnuts (It's a famous town near Ipoh). and let them have their last laugh about us.
