I hate my husband!

I hate my husband!

My life is a changed game now. Mornings are different and so are evenings…

Every time I gather my senses in between a busy day at work, the only few thoughts which run in my head are “what to cook for dinner tonite?, is the grocery refill planned for this weekend?, is the salary hike of my maid going to impact my monthly budget by ANY means?, how do I tackle my girl gang and deny one more outing?, how do I resist that Flipmart offer?, will my husband be happy enough with today’s lunch? And oh of course what to cook for lunch tomorrow?!

And then brilliant idea strikes – ‘Call up Mr. Husband’, he should be able to guide for lunch and dinner menus at least, the rest I know I can handle. So I call up ‘Mr. Husband’: “Hey what you think we should cook for dinner tonite?” He replies: “What!? Why do you have the same question every time and at any time of the day?? I’m between something very important, let me call you back”. Well, yes, however it sounds, it is just ultra-depressing to hear that!

Ah, there he calls back, courteous enough, eh’? “arre, kuch bhi bana de, kha lunga. Anything is fine.” As it sounds, it is indeed very sweet of him to say that, but but but! That doesn’t help. The question still remains “what do I cook for dinner tonite?” And this is our pretty blissful routine…

I hate my husband!

On a usual weekend, when I am still in bed at 10 and lazy, my mum would have started her nonstop drama and then served me a royal breakfast, my husband however, makes sure that the curtains aren’t up and there’s no noise whatsoever while he prepares his special taaza kadak masala chai for me and then comes down running to the bedroom to make sure I’m up for ‘The chai’!

I hate my husband!

Having day-to-day meals with him is a like getting myself into a war! Either I fight hard for my share or just watch it go down his mouth! That thrill! And then for everything I have ever cooked for him over the last one year, not even once he has suggested any improvements, well everything I cook for him is either ‘mast che’ or ‘ekdum mast che’! But deep down I knew most of it was either not that well cooked or not that happy tasting – he owes his strong threshold for bad tasting food to his Chennai days, he says! And that gives me a push to work hard on my culinary skills! 35 odd regular dishes tried and still counting…

I hate my husband!

Yes, like any other Scorpio woman, I am in pursuit of cleanliness, most of the times… But for the times when I opt to be lazy, trust me not even god can move me! I can filth around, not pick up my stuff lying all around the house for hours and hours together, sometime days. For such times, I can only think of my mom who would go on and on endlessly shouting and cribbing until she manages to move me from the inside and when I can finally hear what she means in those loud words of her is “It’s your filth – you must pick it up, no one else will. It may break or be thrown out of the house, so just pick it up and put it back to where it belongs!” Ah, now I hear that! And I had to, I love my things you see – that’s another Scorpio trait!

On the other hand, my husband, with that cute frown on his face ‘tells’ me this – “You have your stuff lying all around the house! That bag on the chair is there for 2 weeks now! Your watch is on the dining table every evening, why don’t you use the case! Your hairclips are everywhere!! In the kitchen, on the dressing, on the sofa and in the laundry bag!! Pls Pls Pls keep all that in its place will you!?!” And I grin 🙂 The next morning, I see them nowhere! Guess what, everything is back to where it is meant to be!

Well, I hate my husband! I really hate him!!

My parents have loved me, they always will. But my husband spoils me! And I know, he always will! 🙂

Annie, when you read this –

I hate you when you stick yourself to the laptop and ignore me, I hate you when you eat my food, I hate you when you don’t show any interest in my endless stories, I really hate you!

But, I love you more than that for the little things you do for me and for all the times you spoil me, knowingly or unknowingly! I promise to spoil you back in my own ways! 😀
