‘Welcome to Bengaluru’: Engineer's Chore Management Table Goes Viral

Bengaluru: A Bengaluru engineer, Tanvi Gaikwad, has captured the internet's attention with her inventive strategy for managing household chores among her flatmates. Drawing inspiration from corporate project management, Gaikwad created a detailed four-column table to outline responsibilities for various domestic tasks. The table, humorously titled "The ultimate list of chores you did not sign up for," not only lists chores but also includes amusing justifications for their importance.

For instance, one entry states, "Pay your rent on time or risk becoming a tenant in your own fantasy land," while another highlights, "Contribute to the Cook Fund or prepare to experience the 'Chef's Special' sneeze-ridden food."

In a witty caption accompanying her post, Gaikwad wrote, "Welcome to Bengaluru: where flatmate duties are documented like a corporate project and the house gods might need their own Slack channel to weigh in on our mess!" This clever blend of humor and practicality has struck a chord with many online.

The online community has been buzzing with reactions to this novel approach. Some users express enthusiasm, noting that it could be an effective way to manage household responsibilities. One user commented, “Honestly this could either be the best thing ever or by day two this is in trash.”

Others offered a more skeptical view, suggesting that a less formal approach may work better. A user reflected, “Guess boys are better at it; if someone feels like doing it, they do the chore, else no one does it. Someday all of us together decide to do it. Going on from past 3+ years.”

Adding to the light-hearted discussion, another commenter quipped about the challenges of shared cooking, saying, “Didi has just left the dough here; now we'll have to make the bhaturas ourselves.”
