Oh My God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its my husband!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well..............


the history to this post is that I have been married for 11 years. And while singletons have absolutely no clue what I am talking about, anyone in a marriage beyond five years will agree with me that spouses tend to start blending into the background like a favourite recliner chair after a couple of years.

So had mine.

Until he became a "Road Warrior" or "Extreme Jobber". Google the phrases if you like or I can tell you in one simple sentence that he now travels a lot and stays out of the country for days at a stretch.

When I first heard the news I tried my best to be stoic about his frequent travelling, all the while secretly alternating between wild euphoria (dammit its been a long while since I was single
) to pouring my woes into endless cups of coffee with sympathetic friends.

Till the sms's started. The Good morning sms, the afternoon sms and the good evening sms. Suddenly there was this gallant man who wanted to know what happened at the end of my day, or at work. Usually we tune out in front of the telly or over a glass of wine in the evening, but frankly i must admit the man had a certain style with those sms's.

Enough for me to invite him to gmail chat. He hates the yahoo and msn icons and frankly gmail chat is so lovely and unobtrusive.

And now, I blush to admit, I am chatting with my husband.

Only he isn't just the bloke who used to need to be fed and clothed and nagged periodically anymore. He is an interesting man with dreams, desires and a very exciting and jet set life. And oh my gawd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, he is MY HUSBAND.

Which only goes to show that for our generation, technology provides verbal or mental foreplay.

Someone has just told me about skype. Which hopefully will be our next cyber rendevous.

So till the next sms, or sexy one liner, I am hooked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I should take this relationship further and get a webcam :)

misery.....................

Maybe its the season for joy and goodwill, but why do I feel as if misery is spreading all around. Could be the cold season, I for one hate the cold and it turns me into a miserable whining creature. But then, who can be happy with cold toes.

On the other hand, I meet a lot of people who like to miserable because it gives them a kick and high. They get off it like they would get off any other addiction.

Speak to someone on the phone and they snap................."I am too busy, can't talk right now................." even if you are calling them back for their work. Others take recourse in sarcasm and screeches.

Or maybe misery is like a virus, it spreads.................................


Now why would the government need biological warfare in that place?

Its so easy to miserable. I have at least one "I hate everyone" day in the week. Other people I know admit they got out of the wrong side of the bed.

But, I have a secret theory, and that is miserable people like spreading misery. They like watching some poor person wilt under their nasty gaze, and they get a vicsious kick out of being disiked and ruining someone's day.

Me? I'd still like to be the sunshine girl, and when it rains maybe i can sleep under the quilt.

when pr people say........................

Yes....................

finally i admit it...we are the scum of the earth. Worse than lawyers and stock brokers. Our lies could put a few of satan's minions to shame.........but then...kya karein, rozi-roti ka sawal hai.

So here goes what a PR person says, and what they really mean:

1. It has potential: "Not that I really care..............but the money is so good, and all those free media gifts make so much of a diff!

2. Can I get back to you ?: "duh.........uhhhhhh.............ummmmmmmmmmm.................."

3. I am really sorry, totally can't get through to my client right now, actually he is in the Madhya Pradesh jungles and I can't say when he will be back: "Actually this is a really stupid question and my client will chew me out if I ask him/ her that."

4. Trust me on this one: "As if you have a choice anyway!"

5. This is an exclusive story: "No one else bought the idea!"

6. What fabulous works of art..........loved the show: "Anyway I was the only person there apart from the three media people I pushed to come."

7. I wish I could do something about this but..............: "You don't pay me enough for me to wanna try too hard"

8. Oh..............but so and so foreign publication, said the nicest things about my client: "Of course, as it is only published in Madagascar, so i can't get you a copy."


cheerio,

but we do have hearts of gold...............Trust me on this!
