So, Amma was telling me about someone, a human being , who eats 15 idlis mixed with 2 litres of sambhar for breakfast each day. And this someone mixes the idlis and sambhar by squelching them together into one gooey mess which he slurps down in 10 minutes flat!…
So, The Husband is on ‘water therapy’ today, for ‘a healthier lifestyle’ . So,I’ve been instructed to fill a copper pot with water, and replenish it each time The Husband finishes drinking from it. And, I’m supposed to be doing this throughout the day. Did I mention that the…
The Husband apparently hates gossip. I on the other hand thrive on gossip and have found an equally enthusiastic accomplice in Amma *my ma-in-law* While Amma’s cooking lessons to me are in progress, we are so deep in talk, discussing lives of film-stars, politicians, neighbors and even their neighbors, etc,…
When I first met The Husband, the immediate adjectives that came to mind were ‘strong and silent’ After I wed him, I’ve added another one to the previous two, sulking. For I’ve realized that The Husband is a 6-foot tall spoilt brat when Amma is around. He sulks…

So, The Husband wants us to get a dog. Me, I’m terrified of all kinds of dogs, even the stuffed-animal variety. After having many one-sided conversations about various breeds, The Husband decided on a German Shepherd. “Think of it this way, with our dog around you’ll always feel safe…”…
I am not very sleep fond. Afternoon naps make me feel puky, and holidays are meant for lazing around, reading, watching tv and films wagairah wagairah, anything except sleeping. So when I first met The Husband, well, he wasn’t ‘The Husband’ yet, and he told me he…
Returning home from the honeymoon, we are whiling away time and money shopping at duty free when I see The Husband picking out booze like the supply might be going out of stock for good. “So many?” I quiz, already in typical wife mode. “Hmmmm……” The Husband is in…
