Me & MiNe

Shower

2012-01-28T06:19:00.006+05:30

SHE: You look so different after a shower

HE:??

SHE:You look super fair and bright

HE: There is a secret to it

SHE: What?

HE:I take a shower occasionally and because I do it really rare, it appears to you that way

SHE: *&^??$#@?

The 4th

2012-01-19T05:47:00.000+05:30

My heart still skips a beat when I think of you
My eyes flutter when I see you
I still get super excited when your name flashes on my phone
I am still thrilled to see you coming home from work
I still like to blame you for my foul mood
I still like to fight with you over petty issues

Happy 4th anniversary TH

Jet lagged

2012-01-10T13:08:00.002+05:30

New house

All things to be put in place

Moving boxes to be unwrapped

Suitcases to be opened

Regular activities to be resumed

Proper cooking has to happen

But for now, we are jet lagged

And we welcomed 2012 with a bang

*who called out to me in a grocery store noticing my little one chewing on a can and gently told me its poisonous for babies

Thank you for taking the time to tell a stranger that her baby is chewing something that could be poisonous

*who never stayed in touch inspite of living in the same community and yet knocked on my doors to ask for a drop off at the airport, well, I am no Mother Teresa

Sweets overload

2011-09-06T11:12:00.002+05:30

Turn on the tv- a random chef cooking lemon cheesecake

I surf channels and I watch the ad for Nutella

My friend calls me asking how I make Paal payasam

I log in to Facebook and am loaded with a heavy dose of modak/ kozhukattai pictures

Why oh why this happens to me?

I am devastated

2011-08-26T23:53:00.000+05:30

all I did was to get on the weighing scale and check my weight!

This evening

2011-07-29T12:26:00.002+05:30

Girls night out

Chit chat

Gossip

Yap yap and yap

Order food

Gobble gobble gobble

Yap yap yap

until you realise you forgot your wallet at home

Mighty embarassing I tell ya !

July 16th

2011-07-17T05:26:00.002+05:30

Story:

You were in Singapore

I in India

You proposed on 12th july

I retort, cuss, fight

and after 4 days I give in

Cut to 2 days ago bed time

Tell me what's special about July 16th and you nailed it

Frankly my dear,you saved your ass with that answer.

Happy proposal anniversary TH.

Love ya

Best place on earth

2011-07-15T22:36:00.002+05:30

As I turn off the lights ready to hit the bed,

you stretch your arms

I curl up to you

Hug you tight

We don't talk a word

We drift off to sleep

The birthday gift

2011-06-25T02:37:00.002+05:30

Me: What are you going to gift me OUR ( yes that's right, we share our birthday) birthday?

TH: What do you want?

Me: No cooking the whole day and we are eating out. So what do you want?

TH: You have already given the gift

Me: &&%%$$@@???

At the sports club

2011-05-24T00:39:00.002+05:30

a woman unexpectedly opened the shower curtains where I was bathing.Instead of being angry or ticked, I was giggling to myself.Poor soul, I must have scared her

That dress

2011-05-14T10:48:00.003+05:30

SHE: Why are you looking at me like that?

HE: You look sexy in this dress

SHE: *sheepish smile* thank you

Fast forward the next day and the next to next day

HE: Its true I like this dress on you and I told you so, but that doesn't mean you should not change into another dress at all

SHE:&&%%$$##@@???

My honeymoon

2011-04-19T04:28:00.001+05:30

is officially over..

Parents visit

Inlaws visit

Not a single foray into kitchen

After a good 7 months, its just us 3 ..life is taking a new turn..wish me luck

Love multiplies

2011-04-08T20:58:00.001+05:30

when shared, that I know.What I did not know is that it also comes with the cold and flu.Thank you TH

World Cup

2011-04-04T23:01:00.003+05:30

Yay, I lived to actually see India lifting the world cup.Can I even ask for more? I can die a peaceful death and go to grave.But you know how India won?

No restroom visits during the entire match
No changing positions even the slightest bit
Praying hard every time the commentator raises his voice or the crowd roars
Most of all, not interacting with folks cussing as the game progressed

Worth it all..Great job team INDIA

Yet another time

2011-03-30T09:14:00.002+05:30

You are home unusually early

We have dinner together

I make mental plans to watch tv with you, to lay on the couch along with you, to generally chit chat with you on various things

.............................

when you casually throw the bomb at me telling me

you are off to sleep now and you will wake up on time @ 2.30 in the midnight to watch the epic INDIA v/s PAKISTAN semi finals.

duhhh! what was I thinking

A mid afternoon call

2011-03-24T20:51:00.002+05:30

from you asking me if I had lunch, if all is well with the little one inspite of your neck deep work .You have been coming home wickedly late, all you do after coming home is have dinner and crash.I couldnt help but shed a tear or two when you called.

How do you feel

2011-02-17T11:59:00.002+05:30

when you realise that you went to the bank, did the grocery,visited a friend , all with only one ear ring?And to top it all, no one even hinted..hmmphhh&&%%#*%

Weekend

2011-01-29T14:17:00.000+05:30

Weekend

you are back from work unusually early

dinner done and and so is rest of the kitchen work

the little one is asleep

I look at the clock and its only 9.30 pm

I do a little victory dance

I call out for you

you are not to be seen

.....

.......

head to toe covered in comforter, you are deep asleep and snoring!

There is something

2011-01-12T01:36:00.002+05:30

about rolling over to the bed space of your spouse after the spouse gets out of the bed,soak in the warmth, feel your eyes just give away to sleep while inhaling the smell so specific to the spouse.

Thank you 2010

2010-12-29T12:47:00.002+05:30

What a year 2010 has been

Found out I was pregnant ( yay)

Brand new mommy to a baby girl ( the best ever)

Totally pampered by the husband ( thats something ain't it?)

Parents visit ( complete rest for me)

In laws to visit ( sounds good)

Crazy shopping for the little one ( do I need to say anything about shopping?)

Thank you 2010, welcome 2011.

Bliss

2010-11-30T14:15:00.001+05:30

Ilayaraja's melodies playing in the background

lights off

sleeping on TH's hand

Dreams

2 duets

I am one happy soul

Bursting soon

2010-09-27T12:04:00.004+05:30

Starting the day with a glass of whole milk loaded with almonds and pista and elaichi

Sumptuous breakfast of idlis and dosas and chappathis

A soup or juice inbetween

Sometimes buttermilk

Piping hot lunch served right at my place

Accompaniments of snacks from India

Oh did I miss the fruits?

Again fresh hot dinner at the family dining table

ending it all with a warm glass of milk ...

I think am going to burst anytime soon.

Food, goodies and more

2010-09-14T00:01:00.002+05:30

Yay! It feels just so nice to say that I can

wake up anytime and not bother about cooking a meal

eat just my favourite food

sit and talk on and on about my relatives

get upto date news about friends and family back in India

still sleep on appa's lap and ask amma to pat me to sleep

oops..did I already give it away?Appa, amma will be here tomorrow..cant wait for the fun, food , goodies and all the vetti talk.

Bulb moment

2010-08-27T23:14:00.001+05:30

Tv on, and am busy cooking in the kitchen.The mobile phone rings and I rush to pick it up amidst the roti dough in hands..

only to realise that the ringtone sound was from the tv..

what a bulb moment!

Reactions

2010-08-11T02:31:00.000+05:30

What would be the reaction when you think you spotted a dollar bill on the walkpath amidst the grass, get super excited and scream" hey, I found a dollar, thats mine"..and as you pick it up in your hands, you see its just a piece of trash?

1.You give a sheepish smile?

2.You are thoroughly embarassed, and say oh it happens to everyone

3.You turn around to see how many people are looking at you?

4.You call names at the unknown person who trashed the pathway?

The craziness quotinet

2010-07-16T00:16:00.002+05:30

Me: Why dont we make an India trip this year? Its been a little more than 2 years since you went.

TH:What?Thats not a reason to make India trip now..talk about a Rajinikanth movie getting released, it would make sense to go to India

Me: dont know whether to laugh or cry

When you are a novice

2010-07-03T00:20:00.002+05:30

car driver...

1.You have the seats as forward as possible for the fear of not being able to reach the brakes

2.You donot turn on the music or th radio for fear of concentration getting diverted

3.The moon roof is not opened, nor is the a/c turned on -sounds like a luxury for a beginner

4.You double and triple check the sides before changing lanes

5.You keep looking at the side and rear view mirrors so often than what is actually recommended in the drivers license booklet

6.You start the car only after praying hard

7.You try and park the car in those assigned spaces which are in far end of the store and normally people dont prefer to park there

8.You get down and walk around the car to see if you have parked the car within the lines.

9.You come back home and call TH to tell him what a feat you have achieved and that the car is indeed safe

10.You blog about it, call your friends and brag about your achievement(?)

Drama queen

2010-06-25T02:05:00.002+05:30

Friend to me : What, you and TH share the same birthday?

Me: yes ( evil grin at evoking a total unbelievable look)

Cousin to me: Can that even happen? you and TH being born on the same day?

Me: Yes, it does. ( double evil grin at the cousin's surprise look)

Writing it on my blog- priceless

* walks away humming happy bday to us, happy bday to us

Milestone

2010-06-20T23:38:00.001+05:30

achieved!An unplanned call to TH asking if I can drive the car to the local grocery store.He immediately says Yes..I insist -think well before you give the nod.He says nono, am sure, go ahead.I say again- new car, an inexperienced driver, are you really fine with me driving?All he says is be cool.

And thus, I ventured all alone in the new car to the local grocery store.Reaching home in an hour, I left an email to TH saying" reached home safe with the car".

How to make the man do some work

2010-05-18T02:17:00.001+05:30

on a dull rainy day?

Zimpleeeeeee serve him some soup and bread and that will take care of everything :)

The way to go

2010-05-07T22:19:00.001+05:30

Almost a year ago

Me: How do I look in the new dress?

TH:You look nice.

Me:Do I look a little plump from this angle?What do you think?Little did he know what he was getting into

TH:Hmm..ya I guess a little

That was the end of it for TH.He had to sleep facing the wall,eat at restaurants.

Fast forward to a day ago

As we were getting ready to goto a friend's place,

Me:How do I look?

TH:Ya, you look great ( nice to great..thats a nice change)

Me:I think I have gained a lot of weight no?

TH:What? dont be crazy..you look just fine.(the way to go dude, you got it!)

A little help ( IHS)

2010-04-30T21:11:00.000+05:30

SHE: Can you help me with some household chores for this month? I will be late from work and it would be nice if I get some help.

HE: Ya sure darling, am here to help.What is it that you want me to do?

SHE:Clean the house, wash the vessels, fold the laundry,cook and keep the food in casserole and ya, cut the veggies for the next morning.

HE: ???^^%%$$@@####

How to make the most of a IPL telecast?

2010-04-06T21:11:00.001+05:30

Sleep with your laptop next to you to wake up on time

Morning abltuions can wait

And if they cant wait- carry the laptop to the bathroom

Dressing up done in front of the laptop and not infront of the mirror

Breakfast and lunch are all packed to go

You dont even realise if you are wearing the same colour socks

Irrespective of getting all ready, you leave only when theres a commercial break

Cricket does make you do crazy things

Price of afternoon nap

2010-03-18T05:01:00.003+05:30

Sink full of dishes

Loads of laundry to be done

Bath can wait

Blogging..errr..when was the last post?

Grocery-oh we could eat out for dinner

Vacuum-one more day of dirty rooms,thats ok

Dishwasher to be unloaded

Other errands to run-they can wait

aaahhh this afternoon nap is simply priceless!

Why don't you blog?

2010-02-16T07:49:00.002+05:30

HE: Looks like you are not blogging regularly these days

SHE: mm..yeah kinda

HE: Why is that? You like to blog and you should stick to it.

SHE:I like to, but I don't get enough to write about.

HE: What do you mean?You can write about anything,even me as you always do

SHE: Ya seriously..I do write a lot about you..my life revolves around you..but you haven't been goofing up lately, so I go no subject matter to talk about.

HE:??&&^^%%$$##@@@@???

Just when I thought

2010-02-02T00:19:00.003+05:30

-everything was going well

-I was sticking to my goal

-I had my temptations under control

-skim milk and raisin bran would fill my day

-swimming and treadmill would do the trick

A dear friend came home with this on our anniversary.

I quit big time !

Its our 2nd !!!

2010-01-20T10:10:00.001+05:30

The first of anything is always special..but the 2nd is even more special..The first year took a while, but the 2nd, went in a jiffy.As much as I soaked in the feelings of being togther,it all went by way too fast.Time flies is more than a cliche!

I prefer romance, you prefer action

I love scenery, you cant get a hang of it

I can go on and on about the differences..but there have been numerous times when I say something and you nod your head saying you were just thinking of the same.8 years of knowing you, nothing has changed one bit.You still walk over things that are lying on the floor,you leave your clothes piling up.But you always like to lsiten to me, my needs and wants,you love growing in our relationship.You are so perfect for me.Its only with you I can be myself.Its only with you, I can call names about anyone , even you and yet be so normal.

Many a times, I choose the channel on TV that we will watch, I choose the house we live in,I might not give you the tv remote all the time,I might undercook the veggies, I might shoot up the telephone bills..but

I know my heart will always feel

one love real

that love of yours

the one that only soars

Weeks and years will roll by

love will be the same between you and I

Happy anniversary dahling

Vacuum

2010-01-15T05:21:00.001+05:30

She hearing the sound of a vacuum cleaner, wakes up.

SHE:Hey, what are you doing so early in the morning?

HE: I am vacuumming

SHE: Why? and that too at this hour?

HE: I didnt get much sleep, plus thought I would help you clean the home.

SHE:Wow...wait..I smell coffee ..So this is why you are cleaning up.You spilled the coffee and thought of cleaning it all before I wake up.

HE:Errr..am sorry

SHE:Thats ok honey,shampoo the carpet before cleaning and dont forget to vacuum the bedrooms too.I gotta go shopping

HE: ^^%%$$##@@(????

In which I ignored TH

2010-01-07T10:55:00.001+05:30

TH hates anything thats organised..

paper work- clutter clutter everywhere

coats- not in hanger

plates-dont even get to the kitchen sink

and the list goes on.

Just as we were walking tinto the gym,I turned to wave at TH to tell him I am off into the womens' changing room when I noticed he was wearing the most wrinkled, straight from the dryer pant with a contrasting t shirt and finally a leather jacket-you get the scene right?

I walked front, he walked behind,I pretended I did not know him at all!

I love Sundays

2009-12-30T00:13:00.003+05:30

simply for the reason that I can sleep for long hours and be treated to a yummy and sumptuous breakfast by TH

Best things about winter

2009-12-10T02:20:00.002+05:30

Winter is the most dreaded season here.Come winter, you dont see any activity around, no one goes out much..so on so forth.But I love winter for many reasons

1.You dont sweat, and you dont stink
2.No one knows whether you took bath or not, anyways, you donot stink.hence its purely optional to take a bath.
3.Sweaters and jackets are always on, you could as well go out in your Pjs or may be the very minimal clothes
4.Its a good excuse to indulge in some yummy deep fried snacks- who cares about the calorie count!
5.Be as lazy as you can and blame it on the lousy weather.

But..but..am good .These dont apply to me :)

So, where are we now?

2009-11-30T04:50:00.003+05:30

Almost about 2 years of married life..and this was the conversation between TH and myself.

Me: I am ready for the potluck, saying so, I stand infront of him.

TH: Oh, I am ready too, lets leave.

Me:Didnt you notice am all dressed up and looking pretty?You did not say anything.

TH: Ya, you look nice and pretty.

Me: But you did not say that on your own, you waited for me to ask you about it.

TH:I did not really notice it

Me: Ya , thats what I am saying too..I am wearing a new dress do you know that?

TH: Oh nice dress, but I did not know its a new one.

so on..so forth..you get the drift right?

A little help

2009-11-19T02:09:00.005+05:30

All I did was -ask TH for a little help in the kitchen on a busy morning

What I dreaded is here

2009-11-09T23:44:00.001+05:30

A crazy week

Shifting home

Moving stuff

Getting used to the new home/place

Cough

Cold

Running nose

Watery eyes

Fever

Body ache

Pool of cardboard boxes lying around

Things to be set up at the new home

TH working night shifts

Visit to the doctor

Couple of mandatory tests

The wait at the doctor's room

Few minutes ticking away like hours

The doctor comes in with the news

...........

Its confirmed

You have the flu!

Moving

2009-10-29T19:54:00.000+05:30

We are packing our bags again
amidst all the rain
this is a change
and to leave the current home- it does feel strange
packing and moving is keeping me busy
the pool of cardboard boxes send me into a dizzy
On and off, there will be a post
because blogging, I like the most.
Thus, I will be taking a little break
not sure how long it will take.

Poll it

2009-09-30T09:02:00.002+05:30

ME: So, hows the pasta?

TH: Oh ya its yum.The sauce is all absorbed and perfectly cooked.

ME: You really like it?

TH: Ofcourse I do.

ME: Ok, so what dish of mine do you love and how much do you rate it on a scale of 1-10?

TH: After some thinking, comes up with an answer " its difficult to say which one, because each time the taste varies"

ME: So, you mean to say am not consistent?

TH: No no, sometimes a dish is super duper, sometimes, its too salty, but most times its good.

ME: Hmmmpphh, sometimes, I should just not ask more questions and just leave things at that.So much for playing the "poll it" game.

Saapaadu Rami

2009-09-19T00:36:00.003+05:30

Cheese- mm..I love it
Milkshake-oh yum!
Ice cream-bring it on..
Samosa chaat- 2 plates please
Chips and wafers- as many as possible
Chocolates-who doesnt love them?
Breakfast, lunch and dinner- but ofcourse, regularly
Kurmur-anytime in between the above eats

I wonder how people are able to restrict food and control etaing habits. Sigh!

Ps: Loose/decent translation of the title-food lover

What do you do

2009-08-11T01:21:00.004+05:30

with a husband who goes to work by car, but forgets that he drove the car to office and comes back home in a bus and realises that he indeed drove the car to office?

What do you have to say about the couple who take a bus to reach office parking garage and come back home in the car?

Wait, if you thought this is funny.

The wife has to go somewhere and asks the husband to lock the door when he leaves for work.The husband nods as usual.The wife comes back after a few hours and is shocked beyond words to see that the door is locked but the key is hanging on the keyhole.

God, please hear me out, I have just one wish, make sure TH doesnt E.V.E.R forget me.

Life is bliss

2009-07-28T07:14:00.001+05:30

10 days of break
no cooking
only eating
little niece to entertain
visiting friends and family
no household chores to do
sleep at crazy times, wake up at crazy times
nice sunny weather of the bay area

thats what the last 10 days has been like.Life is bliss!

comforting

2009-07-08T08:38:00.001+05:30

aweomse weather- not too hot, not too cold
pleasant mid morning
ample time with not much household chores
a sudden thought and I decide to go biking
change to cycling pants, helmet
happily pedal my way
when the wheels stop functioning after a few minutes in the middle of the road.
I try, and try and try to make it work , but in vain.
I call TH and bawl right while standing on the road saying " just one day, I decide to take the cycle and this has to happen to me..I cant even enjoy a simple cycle ride, I am so unlucky"
TH on the phone, "its ok, we can check it in the evening and you can ride tomorrow".
I was in no mood to heed to the consoling and cry even more.
I calm down after 20 minutes.Walk back home while pushing the cycle along with me.
Sigh! Honey, what would I do without you?It does feel nice that you are there to comfort me even if it means skipping your lunch for resuming work on time.

A walk (IHS series)

2009-06-30T22:30:00.002+05:30

SHE:Its so nice to take a walk during summer.The weather is nice, its not yet dark..

HE: Ya,you have been wanting to go for a like this.Just your kind of walk!

SHE: Ya,its not just for the walk,we could also talk a lot while walking.

HE: Hmm,we can walk, you can talk to me, while I check mails in my blackberry.

SHE: I know you would cling to your phone for dear life, thats why, I took away the phone from your pocket and left it at home.So, now you can talk too.

HE: %%$$##@@????

Sharing the birthday

2009-06-24T09:19:00.002+05:30

Same year born? possible I say

Same month born? possible I say

Same date of birth? very much possible I say

But the husband and the wife sharing the same date of birth? you see it in this blog..

Thats right, TH and I share the same birthday/date.That leaves me with only two special occasions in a year..one being the wedding day which happened to be same for both of us..and the birthday..sigh!

I cant even hog the limelight for one day:(

Happy bday sweetheart and happy bday to me.

Pa is one person whose life has been nothing but sacrifices.May be he was even forced to ..because we were 3 women against him.And sometimes with my grandmother at home, it was a clear 4:1.He was the only man and had no choice.Everysingle day, he would have to listen to conversation about clothes, beauty accessories, clothes, shoes, handbags, sarees, salwars, did I say clothes?,pakkathu aathu mami, or ethir veetu mami (talks about neighbour aunties).Poor pa.He would just nod his head and or utter a mere uummm to whatever we say beacause men are like that.I dont know if he really understood our conversation.All cupboard stuffed with girl clothes and girl stuff ,shirt hanger used to hang handbags,office table spread with teddy bears instead of the paper work.All the papers he keeps for rough accounts use, being actually used for drawing rangoli.Even the cupboard in the bathroom stuffed with face packs, moisturiser lotions We then moved home and things started changing slowly.I had a room on my own, my sister "B" was married then.Grandmother had a seperate shelf for her things and ofcourse Pa had a whole room and the whole house for his stuff.But, we still subject him to conversation on clothes, shoes, handbags, clothes, pink, cindrella, snow white etc, with the only difference in the number being 5:1.yep, thats my little niece 5yo joining the bandwagon- because women are like that.Happy Fathers day!

There is no joy

2009-06-16T03:22:00.002+05:30

like licking a cake batter bowl empty!

Do you agree?

So, what happens

2009-06-06T04:57:00.002+05:30

when you get invited for a traditional baby shower and the shower is early in the morning on a weekday?

-you have to wake up unusually early,

-bathe unusually early, cook a 2 course meal for TH and pack,

-get ready yourself-which means, dust the wedding sarees and juggle between the red/ blue/ green sarees

-decide on the green one with maroon border

-pick up matching accessories

-try draping the saree-ya afterall, saree has seen some light out of the suitcase only 3-4 times in a year

-struggle with the pallu

-get TH to help you pin the saree and adjust the fleets

-brush the hair, a make up here and there

-grab a bite of the breakfast

-and finally sit in the car

-all within a deadline of 45 minutes to go

-get TH drop me at the venue of the baby shower

-hurry through the stairs to be on time

-knock on the door and wait for the door to be opened

-when a sudden realisation dawns that

I have indeed draped the saree "ulta pulta"-the inner on the outer and vice versa.

Sigh!

Dream on

2009-05-28T02:59:00.000+05:30

Kid 1: Hey, I am a superman, I will climb all the tall buildings, look down from there, jump from there.I will fly so high.

Kid2: I will goto jungle, see a lion, fight with the lion, defeat him, tie him onto a tree, see a tiger, fight with him, tie him on to a tree, catch all the butterflies,bring them home,take them to my garden.

Kid1:I will goto ice cream swimming pool dive into it and eat all the ice cream, then drive the car very fast.

Kid2: I will drive the airplane high up in the air and watch all the clouds, rivers, mountains.

Sigh!! I want to dream like these kids.

Its not you, its the weight...

2009-05-22T06:49:00.001+05:30

A lazy Sunday morning and romance is in the air.I inch towards TH who is sitting and watching tv.I get up and sit on his lap.

Me: I so love this edey.

TH: You mean the Sunday morning?

Me:What?I am talking about sitting on your lap.It feels romantic.

TH:Hmmm ya.

Me: What do you mean?You dont like this?

TH:No I like it, just that am not able to bear with the weight.

Me: But, you used to like it 7 years before?

TH: Ya, its not you ok, trust me, its only the weight.

Me: &%%$$@@!!???####

Leaving me cold

2009-05-16T00:34:00.002+05:30

Inspite of the summer season starting to show up, I sometimes feel cold.I cant thrive in cold climates, while TH can.There is a custom in our house which goes like this-10 minutes before I goto bed,TH has to go to bed, warm up my side of the bed basically and keep it warm for me to slip into blissful sleep.And many times, even that wouldn't be enough and so I take some body heat from TH by cuddling like a little bunny.Now, you think all is well right? Nope!After a few hours, TH starts slithing away and sometimes, pushing me to the edge of the bed.It leaves me cold ( pun intended!).I was finding it very difficult to sleep in the cold.No use waking TH and telling him because he would simply blabber something out of sleep and go back to snoring.

So being the generous, good hearted person that I am,I decided I will not wake him up.I just slept on his arm and paralysed him (*evil grin*).Next day onwards, he made sure I wasnt left feeling cold.

Out of the world!

2009-05-13T05:03:00.005+05:30

I will leave some pictures which best describe what I was upto.

And

First two pictures are view of the Lake Washington and the rest of the pictures from Tulips festival.

Taste it (IHS series)

2009-05-06T02:55:00.000+05:30

SHE: Can you taste the aloo subzi?

HE: Ya, I will do it.

SHE:How was it?

HE: It is too salty

SHE: What? I added just 1 table spoon of salt

HE:Tssk! You usually forget to add salt, so I added 1 table spoon of salt before tasting it.

SHE:??%%$#@@@***&!!!

The belated wish-year 2

2009-05-01T23:16:00.000+05:30

I dont know how it slipped from my mind

and it took me some time to find

that my blog has seen 2 full years

and its time to say cheers.

For it should have been celebrated a good 2 weeks ago

but I am glad that I didnt let it go

So here I thank one and all

tall, short, big and small

for visiting my personal space

and leaving your trace.

Here's wishing my blog 2nd happy birthday

in my own special way

Principles are out in the air...

2009-04-23T02:53:00.001+05:30

Each one has some principles.They stand by it, no matter what.TH is one solid example.But I wonder about how some of my principles vanish into thin air when comfort takes the priority.

Principle:Switch off the tv when not in use

Comort:My favourite programme will be telecasted in a few minuts, let the tv be on.Afterall, its good to have a feeling of someone talking to me.

Principle:Keep yourself fit,spend a few minutes on working out.

Comfort:What workout, I am tired.Its raining anyway.Will do it tomorrow.

Principle:Save energy.Cook once in the morning and once in the noon.

Comfort: Who will eat the food made in morning/ noon.Let me make something fresh for dinner.

Principle:Use old clothes to clean

Comfort:clothes have to be washed, use paper towels

Sigh! What do I say?I got to change.

Vishu

2009-04-15T02:01:00.001+05:30

Ma would be up early in the morning.She would bathe, light the lamp, chant the slokas.But today, it will be a little more than the usual.She would pray more,kneel down a little longer.By then, Pa would be up,take a look at the "kani" after the usual morning ablutions,would wake me up , walk me to the pooja room for me to look at the "kani".I would sleepily look at the kani, then make up my mind to take bath.The new clothes and the vishu kaineetam are so tempting you know.Then the world's best breakfast of Idli, sambar, vadai.Droolicious.After that yummy breakfast,I would rush to paati for the vishu kaineetam.Then to ma, pa.Then to a couple of known people's nearby for the moola.By late evening, all the cousins would get into discussion on who got the maximum kaineetam.Oh such fun.

But, I know ma and paati would sit in the verandah, will think of me and my sister.Ma would close her eyes for a moment and remember how little we were and how soon we grew up, and flew out of the nest.She would think of us, longing and yearning to be with us.But ma,I would like to tell you that I am doing the same now..standing by my balcony, thinking about you, pa, paati, our home,what you might have cooked, who all might have visited our home today,the temple right opposite .

For, no Vishu is ever complete without a thought about the loved ones in our life.
Happy Vishu.

Spring is in the air

2009-04-07T00:53:00.001+05:30

There is something really special about a warm spring morning, the morning sun streaming in thorugh the windows.I just get up, stretch myself, walk to the windows and start singing hai mera dil .I just walk around the house humming, all smiles, being all lovey-dovey to the husband.I also blow some flying kisses to him which sees him jumping out of the bed to catch them.

Today,a beautiful day of spring
and that itself makes me sing

The sun making its way
I want to put on some music and sway

Such freshness in the air
oh how I love this spring affair

It is going to be a bright day
and I want the spring to stay.

Everything is so bright
and that brings much delight

The winter did go
to mother nature I bow

A new trend

2009-03-26T22:42:00.001+05:30

TH has a dedicated closet for his clothes and inspite of that, I often see him wearing the same shirt/ t shirt.Needless to say, I keep telling him to rotate between all the shirts/ t shirts.As if he listens!When I sat down thinking what could be done about this, I thought how about a burqa for men?Not bad I say...It serves a lot of purposes.

1.Most importantly, no one knows what shirt/ t shirt you are wearing inside..leave alone if you are wearing any dress at all.

2.I dont have to nag him saying you just wore this shirt last week

3.Shaving can wait for months..who cares?

4.And if the wife is non stop talking , you can conveniently move away pretending not knowing who you are talking to, but the wife will make you listen anyhow!

5.No worries about greying hair

6.The not- so hot men can wear a burqa and pretend to be hot men

7. No pressure to work out, your pot belly can be hidden inside a burqa

Bah! looks like I can seriously start this with the TH.

How to cook?

2009-03-19T20:18:00.000+05:30

HE: I am hungry, wats for dinner?

SHE: What do you want? Idli? Dosa? Chappathi? Pasta?

HE: Do you know how to make them?

SHE: Oh comeon, what do you mean?

HE:You always have the laptop open and check the recipes, so was wondering if you would do the same for this one too.

SHE: &^^%%@@##$$$????

That day- a short story

2009-03-13T06:10:00.000+05:30

Its not going good for him so far.His wife fought with him the previous night.She even hinted at going back to her parents place.Then as the day dawned,he got ready to goto office.His car broke down on the way.He was already late for work.He managed to reach office an hour late, only to be called in by his superior.He was told that he lost his job due to cost cutting.Just as he gathered his mind and left office,he waited for the bus.His ill luck continued to follow him as there was a major accident on the road and traffic was shut down.He decided to walk back home. A day cannot be so bad without a reason- he thought. As he reachd home and opened the door, he collected the day's posts.One of which stood out- the intimation that he won a MILLION on the lottery ticket that he purchased a week ago.It was not a bad day afterall!

Th: Sounds good.Pack your gym bag.

Mush Alert

2009-02-14T02:24:00.002+05:30

I look at the sky
thinking about the gift to buy

I think of all the years we have known each other
and that reminds me of one of the email i sent you calling you a brother

All said and done, we have come a long way
I wish and pray for this happiness to stay

Over the years, you have changed a lot
I feel content with the blessings I got

You are my best half
and I love the way you make me laugh

Thanks for being there
and I will always love you- I swear

Happy Valentines day my darling husband. Love you.

The IPL fever

2009-02-10T04:36:00.002+05:30

January is dead, February is here
April is already near

Goa hosts the player shopping
there is no way my excitement is stopping

With April comes the IPL
the event to test every player's skill

It will be the season of cricket
and everyone would be buying the ticket

Some watch tv to follow the match
with their heart racing at every catch

Singing, dancing and drumming
to celebrate the IPL coming

Crowd shouting and hooting till the voice went hoarse
nothing to stop them- no force

Some would say oh the bowling wasnt too tight
but some would feel it was just right

Across the stadium, a lot of them chatting
about Hayden's and Raina's batting

Going oooh and aah over every six
sipping on a lemonade mix

All attention towards the score
and a loud roar for every four

Who would want to miss the thrill
sitting by and drinking something chill

My friend says its all glitz, glamour and fame
but I say its so because of the love for the game

It would be the best season
donot ask me why- I have no reason

I am all set to cheer
for the event that will honour every achiever

Apple of his eye

2009-02-04T05:17:00.010+05:30

I was the one he would turn to as soon as he is home

I was the one he would talk to all the time

I was the sole companion for him

I was the apple of his eye

until.......

this came along about 10 days ago.Ttcch, how I hate to share the attention.

Appreciation

2009-01-27T00:24:00.002+05:30

She & He in a discussion at home after the guests are gone:

SHE: Everyone loved the food we served.

HE: But the 'bajji' and 'sambar' I made won against your 'morkuzhambu' and 'aviyal'

SHE: Romba alattikatha..from now on, you can do all the cooking whenever we have guests.

HE: Appo nee ennathaan pannuva?

SHE: You do the cooking, I will take all the complement saying I cooked.

HE: ^%$$#@&!##&*??

To the greatest guy I married

2009-01-20T01:03:00.003+05:30

A stranger whom I bumped onto in rediff chat room
Just a Hi, hello and what you do kinda talk
You ask me when my birthday is
which I happily tell you
I then ask you the same question
when you tell me the same birth date as mine
I think- oh what a rogue you must be
to say the same birth date as mine.
I ridicule and we rarely mail each other
A couple of months later, I get an e card from you promptly wishing me on my bday
The card read" I am celebrating this day just for you, how about you?"
I cry out of happiness, out of the feeling I ridiculed you
and afterall, you only told me the truth.
Yes baby, we share the same bday.
Frequency of mails increase,we talk a lot
and then suddenly you go off to Singapore
I get mad if I dont receive a mail from you
and cant forget the numerous times I logged onto yahoomail
to check if theres a mail from you
I started missing you if there wasnt a mail from you
You felt the same
You proposed,I fought with you for 4 days
ridiculing how you could love someone whom you havent met yet
I give up finally and accept your proposal.
Life is never the same since then.

7 years of knowing you, 1 year of living with you,They have been the best in my life.Knowing you has broadened my horizon and I love everything about us.Look what you got with me for a wife- lots of bills to pay for the rest of your life, drop offs at the beauty parlour, and gym,errands to run, dresses to zip, household chores, my changing moods, sometimes strang,e exotic foods..but through it all, good times and bad,You have been the best husband a girl ever had. I thank all the stars for having you in my life, You are the best that I can ask for.Love you so much.

Happy Anniversary sweetheart

Sunday

2009-01-10T05:22:00.001+05:30

Cold weather
Me cuddled inside the comforter.
Not wanting to wake up anytime now
I continue sleeping.
Trouble comes in the form of my little niece
who is sent by my dear husband to wake me up.
I beg and plead for just 2 mintutes of precious sleep
to which my niece agreed.
Thinking that the trouble , ooppss my niece would go away
I pull the comforter back and close my eyes.
And to my horror, hear my niece sitting by my bed
and loudly counting up to the 2 minutes gracious time.

These kids I say...

Its that time of the year

2009-01-01T11:25:00.000+05:30

when one year shuts down and the other is waiting to be born. Looking back, its been so eventful for me.I got married to TH- my long time boyfriend, we started living together, we started blending as a family.I so look forward to the coming year.For now, I leave the past and step into the unknown new year knowing it will the best for me and my family.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Its Snowing!!!

2008-12-20T09:08:00.013+05:30

White white everywhere

looks so pure

The sun trying to make its way
but no hope of it even during the day

Day and night it snows
and the festive spirit just shows

All is merry and bright
oh what a beautiful sight

Wishing for more snow, I keep longing
but for now, I thank God for this little blessing

Getting things done

2008-12-12T06:24:00.002+05:30

A few ways to get things done

Do it yourself
Request someone's help
Did I say do it yourself?
Ask the husband

Outcome: NIL

Lesson learnt: Forbid the husband from doing it.

Rollercoaster

2008-12-05T05:45:00.001+05:30

So my mom and dad left for India and now am back home.Except for some crying in the airport, I was ok till I discovered that my life is rocked!

I had to enter the kitchen.5 months of bliss ended.

Instructions to TH

2008-11-26T01:10:00.003+05:30

Dear Th

So I am with my folks for a couple of days and not at home.No,this is not a post to say about you being missed.This time around, I am more worried about the home front.I just thought I will leave you with a few instructions so that "our home" will not loose its sanity.Now, I know you can manage , but thats only to a certain extent and that will not be my way too.It will be unfair if I leave you clueless on what is to be done, where things are to be kept.Shall we get to the list?

1.I have tucked in the bed neatly.Once you are off the bed in the morning, fold the blankets and spread the comforter the exact way I do.

2.When you shave or trim your mosutache, donot leave the bathroom dirty. Thats the most horrible thing you coul do. Bother to clean up all the hair mess.And I will find out when I come there. Duh!

3.When you are done taking bath,Do NOT leave the wet towel on the bed. You know I hate that.Leave the wet towel in the towel hanger inside the bathroom.

4.After you have your breakfast,put the dishes in the sink.And remember to put the waste in the trash and THEN drop the dishes in the sink.Do not forget this, else be ready to face my wrath.

5.When you are about to leave for office, look around the house to see if you have turned off all the lights, the stove, the shower.Lock the door properly.

6.After you park the car, switch off the lights,remove the GPS and put it inside.I am sure you will remember my furious face that day when you had left the lights on.

7. When in doubt, call me. I always have the time to give you instructions.

The list will be endless,but I shall stop here.Good luck honey.

Lots a love,
ur wife

You think you are smart

2008-11-19T11:04:00.000+05:30

when you hunt , hunt and hunt for a good deal on a particular thing for the home and actually manage to get it, ONLY to realise later that there was a much cheaper deal for the very same thing that you had got. Hmmpphhh!!!

Dishwasher

2008-11-13T03:30:00.000+05:30

SHE: Hey I was ringing the door bell for 5 minutes, what were you doing?

HE: I was washing all the vessels

SHE: How sweet of you to do it.

HE: Wait, everytime you wash the vessels, there is some dirt in it. So, this time, I wanted to show you how to wash the vessels properly.

SHE: &^^%$$##@???

From scratch

2008-10-31T20:14:00.001+05:30

From 9 months in a place to a totally new place
From leaving behind a vibrant bunch of friends to forming a new set of friends
From the comfort set up of home to slowly setting up another one
From everything in order to starting from scratch....

We are packing our bags and moving coast to coast!As if life isn't spiced up already, we wanted to add a little more to it.Things are being sorted out and tracked, goods being packed, lease cancelled, flight tickets purchased, temporary accomodation arranged...but goodbyes alone will not be said.

Diwali Time

2008-10-27T19:35:00.007+05:30

Sweets, savouries, crackers, new dresses, socialising, making merry...its that time of the year again.DIWALI!!!And a diwali celebrated far away from the very happening place for the festival- Chennai. What's diwali without new dress or noise bursting the crackers anyway?How has diwali celebration changed over the years and how could it be over a few years from now? ( with some due imagination)

5 years ago---
Get up as early as 4 in the morning, take bath, wish relatives who get together for diwali,wear the new dress ( read ready to show off to friends and others),rush out of home to start bursting crackers.There used to be "healthy fights" amongst friends as to who started bursting crackers first. After a while, eat all the savouries ( bhakshanams) made at home and watch tv till the next session of bursting crackers.Visit temple.

Now---
Get up around 7 or 8 in the morning, take bath, wear a new dress if interested.Call up parents and all relatives wishing them a happy diwali.Eat some self made savouries. Crackers?- no mood for them. Watch tv , sleep. Visit temple.

5 years from now---
May be folks would do a video conferencing on the diwali day and we could virtually celebrate diwali, burst crackers,eat all the savouries.

Anyways, diwali at my home is being celebrated with some home made sweets and savouries, new dress, a visit to the temple.Happy diwali and have a safe one.

To our nine months

2008-10-21T01:27:00.003+05:30

Love, life, lust, laughter, fights ....thats what these nine months of married life has constituted.Truly priceless.One of my friend told me " you guys argue a lot". I met TH 6 years ago.From blindly listening to him to screaming a shut up if he happens to talk while watching tv, we have come a long way.

Many times, seeing our married friends, I tell TH" oh they look so perfect together". They are so much in sync with each other, if one starts a sentence, the other completes the sentence.If one looks at the other,the other nods in perfect understanding.

But we are two different people.He loves watching movies, while I just wriggle through any movie.He is easy going, while I am rigid.There are more like these,but inspite of these differences, we live in the same room. And, I still feel at home.He is my home.

Here's to our 9 months of married life. However cliched it may sound, I can't put it any better. I love you.

2 in 1

2008-10-17T01:00:00.001+05:30

SHE: Hey, I have invited "M & his wife" home for lunch on Sunday.

HE: Why did you choose a Sunday? Sunday mornings are meant for cleaning and evenings are meant for relaxing

SHE: Ya precisely, you vaccuum the house, clear the trash, clean the bathroom only on Sunday mornings.I call someone for lunch and the house is also clean.Orey kallula rendu maanga

Packages...of love

2008-10-01T01:45:00.001+05:30

I have always loved packages from home.They take me to a different world. I start looking at the cover/ bag in which the things are brought. Sometimes a Pothys , or a sweet shop cover ...or even something wrapped in a tamil/ malayalam newspaper.I kind of start mentally visiting the very same place which the cover mentions.My parents brought a few things for me when they came over here.Goodies from in laws, friends, grandmother and that wee moment, I felt the distance of 1000s of miles melting away.It was like seeing them through the goodies they sent for me.

Opening the bag is a whole different experience. Its not for the pleasure of getting some goodies..the pleasure comes from fondly picturing how they thought of what we would want and shopped for them.The phone calls that follow will be filled with conversation like " did you like whatever I sent?" " did you taste the sweet"? " does the shorts fit him?".I cleared everything from the bag and stored the bag carefully.Everytime I wish to travel to Kerala/ Chennai mentally, I would simply pull out the bag, touch it and picture myself going to all those shops.

I just came back home after a good 50 days of stay with my parents and sister's family.I dont have any package as such, but some home made snacks by amma, a top that my sister gave, an IPOD travel kit that my BIL got. For now, I am feeling a little more...little less homesick

than watching the little sapling you planted a month ago bloom into its fullest.

It is short, stumpy, sensitive, temperamental, almost exactly like a newborn.The plant will grow slowly, steadily like a growing child and I will cherish it with all my heart.

We had a very funny situation at home today. One of our friend who had come home to visit us, happened to fart err...a little louder. My 4yo niece who kept asking the visitor - uncle poo poo? had us in splits.That set me thinking of the type of farts that one could possibly try depending on the place/situation he/ she is in.

1.The bullet fart:It sounds like a bullet bike engine which is started.It is sure to startle the people around.So you could possibly attempt it to scare people away from you

2.The concealed fart:The name says it all. You are with people around and all you need to do is push your b**t down into the seat you are sitting and ease out the fart very carefully. You could bet noone would know you did it.But yes, sometimes, the odor shows the culprit.Its quite the common type of farting

3.The rocket fart:Its a single shot fart and sounds like a rocket that goes into the sky.

4.The attention diverting fart:Sometimes, you cough, sneeze and fart -all at the same time.Since you get to do more than one thing at a time, you could easily divert the other persons attention from your fart.

5.The relief fart:This is very common amongst old people. They fart and give away an expression like " oh god, finally, its out""what a relief"

6.The musical fart:Funny kind of ring tones like "tup", "tada tup". "tuussss" contribute to the musical fart

7.The no effect fart:The fart that comes out without a sound or odor.You could still be talking as normally as you were and continue to do whatever you were doing without any interruption

8.The funny face fart:You fart and also have a funny face and a sheepish smile that so shows you are the one

9.The rotten fart:It exactly smells like a rotten vegetable or a rotten egg.People just flee away from you.

10.The no one noticed me fart:You fart, it stinks, you turn around and see that no one is around there, you heave a sigh of relief saying "thank god, no one noticed me".You immediately move away from that place.

She is away from her husband for more than 3 weeks.Is all excited to see He.

She has a make over with new haircut-with layers and all

She dresses up to her best and is all geared to welcome He at the airport

She wants to surprise He with the haircut and is eager to listen to what He has to say

He comes,She squeals a hi

He doesnt even notice the haircut

Finally She looses patience and asks He "how is my haircut"?

He casually says, ya its good and gives a 7/10

hmmphh..so much for asking about my new haircut!!!

Get into the tub and open the shower

Cover the water exit hole in the tub with a small plastic lid

Open the shower to the maximum extent possible

Start singing ( read screaming)

Use some creativity and apply the soap on your toe nails as nailpolish

Pick up the soap and wash it in the water till the time you see bubbles

Jump around in the tub and splash the water wherever possible

If your soap is anything other than white colour, use it as a crayon to scribble on the tiles.
