What I did today?`
Its christmas today, and it seems like the bandh was called off. So my day started off with a blank laptop screen, staring back at me. I talk to the laptop once in a while and I say "Hey!" and I have never received a reply. Looks like it does not like me, the keyed bastard.
Mom drops in to wake me up, eventhough I am wide awake. She says that its, 10 am and I need to brush my teeth. What am I? 12? She just stands there staring at me, with the "Get up or no breakfast look" and I oblige even though I could have won the fight.
Brushing wasnt any fun, either, until I sang 'Jingle Bells" playing on the TV, with all the foam inside my mouth. So I go "Fingle Fells, Fingle Fells, woidfdfnlge dfall wa wazh!!". And that was brushing! Jesus - 1, Gautham - 1
Then I learnt that the bandh has been called off, which means that I can go out now. Jesus -1, Gautham - 2
I put on the TV and all I can see is Jesus stuff all around, in all channels. Jesus - 2, Gautham -2
I then drink some coffee as I watch Jesus drinking some wine in the TV. Jesus - 3, Gautham - 2
I then take a dump. No Jesus around. Jesus - 3, Gautham - 3
Drop into facebook to wish all my friends. Jesus - 4, Gautham - 3
No call from Pavi! Jesus - 4, Gautham - 3
Jesus (in the TV) gets to eat only bread and wine, and gets betrayed, while I have dosa and chutney. Jesus - 4, Gautham - 4
I wander out into the balcony, to see the joy Christmas brings into people. Everyones happy around my apartment. I guess its because they arent british. But then I change my mind, as attritube the happiness to Christmas. Jesus - infinity, Gautham - 4
I stop my legendary battle with Jesus, mid-way to check on my PDA. Still no call from Pavi. Wonder, what shes been doing. And then she calls, when I am watching TV and the phone is in the other room. How does she do that?
I eat lunch and falling asleep....
BABIES!!!!!
Right so ..lets talk about babies...
ok..ok all those guys out there having a "fight or flight" reaction...relax.... im talking about their universal appeal....
Ive heard a quote " if all babies are cute then why are there so many ugly people in the world?? "
women seem to love them and guys believe that if you have a cute baby (yours or otherwise) good looking girls tend to throng around you.
all this put aside, i believe all babies are adorable, coming from a woman, it shouldnt be a surprise,but i have met many exceptions to this perception...
i have a friend who does not want to have babies and pretty much hates them.
i always tried to understand her psyche, i figured, if no kids then no sleepless nights, no cleaning up after them, no yelling and no parent teacher meetings, no teenage tantrums and no dealing with lines like "im looking for the real me". And more importantly time for the couple ALONE!!
but that also means, no first steps to record,no first words, no first day of school, no graduation and no feeling of absolute warmth, when they wrap their tiny little arms around your neck, and say the darnedest things....
my mother once told me... " both of you were hell to raise, but i don't regret one moment f it "
we all feel, at some point in our lives, that babies are cute to play with ,as long as you can give the wailing infant back to its mother......
true... but your own baby,one that you helped to make.... nothing like that feeling..
this is for the pic Gautham put up..... I LOVE YOU BABY....
