Why I love my Hubsand # 99

We went out on Saturday night to a dhaba close home, indulged in some delicious vegetarian fare, some light bubblies, played with our friend's precious baby, laughed our hearts out and packed some delicious (or so we thought) food to take back home and eat. What with the restrictions in place and threats of police cracking down on us, we need to, ridiculous!

Enough transgressing, we go back to our friends place since it still is 11.00 pm, we grab our liquors, I carry the adorable baby girl four flights up and we hit the terrace. What a beautiful night! Starry, cloudy and moon lit. Sigh! We admire the open grounds around us, laced with trees in patches, the high rise buildings next door, even as the boys contemplate the possibilities of the wonders that will appear at the seemingly endless pool of the high rise soon enough.

An hour and more of friendly banter, mush, gurgles, teasers, nudging and pulling legs, sips of vodka, whiskey and breezer, trips to lighten up the bladder and cool breeze in our hair, later, husband suddenly chirps: "My life revolves around M!"

I have a smug and content smile now :)

The weekend is here!!!

Friday is here and well :)

Hubby dearest is on his way right now with his friends on a trip to Masinagudi. I've this room all to myself, a laptop all to myself, Shantaram all to myself and yeah peace of mind! I will miss him alright, but I won't miss the weekend fights that happen on a alarmingly regular basis.

Work was good today, quite boring in terms of client replies, so a colleague and I just chatted and orkuted the day away. Make no mistake, I did work, but not enough to cover the entire day's quota. What is it with Fridays and goofing off? We'd an amazing team lunch, punctuated with some silly attempts at humor by my manager. We stood around contemplating a bridal shower and two baby showers for next weekend, but unfortunately not all the girls will be there. Nothing came out of it eventually and around 2.00 pm we dragged ourselves into the Big B's cabin. He looked pretty darned cute in his glasses. He's the brilliant man-sexy looking-tall-dark-handsome-brain and brawn-ideal married man! Yeah he's married! Gawd I need to stop letching but anyways coming back to reality, this is the same guy who told me I'd sucked at my job these past 6 months and was doing me a favour by giving me a raise! He obviously had eyes and all that for just my manager who is his pet (some of us evil and idle minds think they are having an affair, the way they behave around each other. The others and I just exchanged know all glances and nodded in appropriate places :) nothing much else we can do.

There was something mixed in the tea this evening, K, me and the guys we are pally with in the operations team were on group chat, kicking some mean ass all over the place. I can't match someone talking but if it's on paper or skype I can really whip some mean kick ass stuff. We kept our rebuttals going until 6.30, when being the good daughter-in-law that I am needed to head home. The gang wanted to go out for old times sake, pour our hearts out over some beer, but I had to go. 6.30 in my MIL's book is late! I reached home at 8.00. Not a word out of her....why you ask? Because last weekend, I wasn't allowed to go on a 3 day team outing, while her son gets to go. I was obviously seething with anger and hubby knew it as did she. It is so unfair! just because her family doesn't have working and independent girls, I am supposed to follow all they do! I am planning on going on that Leh trip my office gang is planning. Different story its about 40k per person for just 7 days. Hopefully it will materialize. Office trips have always been fun, I miss going on them :(

Happy note to self: You are going to mom's house tomorrow, you will see your wedding pictures finally, you will feel like a princess courtesy mom and you will well just relax, enjoy and really, really feel at home :)
