Am married to a Chinese...

In grip of fever last night, I had the sudden revelation that I am married to a Chinese. Instead of a neem tree, I was sitting in a recliner. No matter I got the gyaan. What? How? You ask..

Well actually its American Chinese, since my walls are pale yellow…Well the wall is such a sweet companion. Not the Wall E robot types, though even that would have been welcome. I am talking about the bricks and the mortar kinds.

The wall listens to everything I say and is a silent admirer when I am all dressed up. It doesn’t criticise everything I do. The biggest advantage is with a can of paint I can get myself a husband of any colour…even exotic ones…It doesnt teach my daughter to polish my white shoes black among other things, nor does it make a mess with the food, the laundry, in the kitchen or the bathroom and so on. Put a toilet next to it, it becomes a stress reliever. Put a bed near it, it still is a stress reliever. I am loving it.

I have had many marriages, Bangalorean, Puneite, Chennaite, Hyderabadi, British. Lucky me, I say!!!

What about the MAN I stay with? Well he is ALSO called my husband; in the human world and does everything else the wall doesn’t do..Dont get ideas. I mean giving me cheap thrills of a roller coaster ride in his imaginary Ferrari. He is portable though not changeable. Mores the pity. But he cooks like a charm, so I keep both of them, the man,and the wall around….

Best of both worlds I had say!

Some of my ideologies...

Wanted to share this …. It really reflects my way of thinking in life :

• If you’re too lazy to start anything, you may get a reputation for patience.
• I’m on a seafood diet. Every time I see food, I eat it.
• I talk to myself because I like dealing with a better class of people.
• Never try to drown your troubles… Especially if he can swim.
• Smile, it makes people wonder what you’re thinking.
• Don’t be so open-minded your brains fall out..
• By the time a man realizes that his father was usually right, he has a son who thinks he’s usually wrong.
• Teachers are those who help us in resolving problems which, without them, we wouldn’t have.
• Marriages are made in heaven. But again, so are thunder and lightning.
• There are three sides to every argument: your side, my side and the right side.
• An expert is someone who takes a subject you understand and makes it sound confusing.
• When you’re right, no one remembers. When you’re wrong, no one forgets.
• They say hard work never killed anyone, but why take the chance.
  

And the gem:

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

Nature's beauty show...

Had to share this with you guys. Was lucky enough to witness Nature’s beauty show – Tulip festival -at Washington Park, Albany, NY. My outing on Mothers’ Day. I have ofcourse been lucky enough to go to Kukenhof, Amsterdam to see Tulips in all its natural splendour. Washington Park had tulips in different hues, something that I didnt see in Amsterdam. Enough talk..witness the beauty…

Indian Idol 5 contestants are rocking…

This time I salute Indian Idol contestants. All 4 seasons they have had mostly mediocore singers, with one or two good singers. Only a few contestants linger on in our memory, Abhijeet Sawant, Amit Paul, Aditi Paul, Bhavya Pandit, Torsha Sarkar were good singers. Only good! They made quite a few mistakes as they went along in the competition. For me there was only one wow moment.

When Amit Paul sang Nasha Ye Pyaar ka Nasha Hai from Mann. It was magical.

Indian Idol 5 is a different ball game altogether… The singers are OUTSTANDING. Each one gave me goosebumps. Not one made any mistake and this is only the Piano round. I don’t want to lose any of the 16 contestants. They are soooooo good. Hope people vote for them with all their hearts and not their regional affinity.

India does have a rich population. I am loving it……

Beautiful sunshine...

The sun is shining, the skies are blue, the clouds are white and life is beautiful..

Do I miss work? Do I miss logging in on Monday mornings at 9 am? Do I miss being stuck to the cell?? Do I miss????
