Post Marital Analysis

MG 0670 thumb Post Marital Analysis Well its been over two months since i got married, got settled in Bangalore and living, lets say a quite ‘comfortable’ life. The root cause of this post is because i have to constantly answer the rhetorical and tiring question from friends, relatives and family – ‘So how is life?’.

Well what do you want me to say? That my wife is a pain in my not so fat ass and that every time she offers me something i make the her have a portion of that, just to make sure that its not poisoned and that my life has become one living hell. OR Shower praises about her and talk endlessly about her goodness OR Would a simple ‘Ok!’ would do.

So what really is it like after 2 months. For one thing for sure, you can’t black mail me with stories of me and my ex-girlfriends. She has already gone through my stuff while i was not at home and the best part being she confessing all of it after getting drunk (now that’s the way to extract secrets out of her!)

One thing good is what has happened to my eating habits. There is breakfast, lunch and dinner without fail. Its been almost a month since i have stepped into the kitchen to make something for myself. The very first month itself i taught her the basics of cooking, and impressed her with my culinary skills. Now she is able to handle the kitchen all by herself. As i tell my friends, earlier i used to got to the kitchen and then make food, now the food comes to me! In short i have trained her!

Oh Wait!

Now i realize what has actually happened! After the first month and after she had mastered the ways of the ‘kitchen’ , i thought i had trained her to do what ever she liked. But now i realize that it was the other way round. One month, it was just one month that she listed to me and then did what ever i asked her to. These days she cooks dinner and says, ‘Honey! come for dinner’. At times she tells me what we need to do when we have some spare time. Oh my god, she has trained me without my knowledge into her pet.

.. wait .. she is saying something..

Oh, dinner is ready! I need to go.

The Lady of the Rings

Image0307 mod 238x300 The Lady of the RingsIt began with the forging of the great rings. Three were given to the Elves – Immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the dwarf lords – Great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of men who, above all else, desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and the will to govern each race.

But they were, all of them, deceived… and we all know the story of how Sauron got his but kicked coz of The One Ring that he had made

This story has a different plot… 2 rings were made in the fires of the workshop of Joyalukkas Jewelers, Cochin. Within these rings they carved the names, that gave one the bearer (the female) absolute power over the other bearer (the male).

Now i remain bound for eternity, and my love Bhavna became The Lady of the Rings …

2 Week Movie Marathon

Since the accident i had and my right-hand was confined to a cast, i was totally at home. During that time my entertainment providers were Star Movies and HBO. Now that the cast has come off the first thing to do is to take a list of movies that i saw during that last two weeks.

A special mention about the movie Death Proof. I saw the movie end to end and i had a feeling like, the sort of moving angles and shots looked very familiar. Well i wasn’t surprised to find that the movie was one by Quentin Tarantino. His signature takes were there all along the movie and its a great watch.

I agree that these are all English movies. Of all the movies in other languages, that was aired, only a few was really worth watching. The best of the lot was these two -

Malayalam

Kilukkam

Aftermath of an Accident

Image0204 225x300 Aftermath of an Accident10years i’ve been riding bikes and its now that i had to fall from it. Doc-1 said that there is a hairline fracture to my right elbow, the severity of which he couldn’t gauge. Doc-2, back home, looked at the x-ray and said that  he doesn’t see any fractures. But advised me to keep the cast on for the next two weeks.

Well the news got my friends giggling – they placed me with a fractured right arm, full arm cast, directly into my wedding night! So much for my friends’ support.

The only thing i like about the whole sick-n-out for two weeks is that i can have mom’s food for two weeks. Other than that its a disaster.

Why? Well to start with, i’m in Kerala and its not the rainy season. So if i sit for 5 minutes without the fan my arm starts to sweat and it starts itching. Its the most helpless i have ever been.

I have to type with one hand and during this time Google decides to send me a Wave account. icon sad Aftermath of an Accident Image 088 150x150 Aftermath of an Accident

The fact  being that i havent been this idle and jobless since… i dont know. I hate being idle. But what can i do? So i spend my evenings having tea and the Indian-Donut (vada) icon smile Aftermath of an Accident

P.S.

It took me 2hrs to type and format this post

Oh Mama, I lost my Virginity!

I could feel her heart beat. It was racing up. Her breathing became heavier with each passing moment. She held me tight and squeezed her against me.

Inching closer, i felt her lips against mine. I slipped into sweet seduction.

Ok period! This post is not meant to be of any pornographic value. The intend of this post is to announce my engagement on my blog. icon smile Oh Mama, I lost my Virginity!

Well, apparently after reading the title and then the first two lines, someone might have got a heart attack and as i’m typing this i’m laughing out loud. Yes the repercussions of this post will be quite sour, but i like the 10sec fun at times. No its not my fiance whom i’m fearing (i’ll fear her post engagement), but its her mother. Yes my Mother-in-law icon smile Oh Mama, I lost my Virginity!

Well she apparently goes through my blog and makes it a point that she reads my twitter feeds too. So this was my way of telling her – “This is me Jerry and i’ll be marrying your daughter icon biggrin Oh Mama, I lost my Virginity! !!!”. Oh, i can so visualize her in my mind right now. The phone at my home ringing, my folks coming to know about the post and they reading it and it all adding up to the visits on my site.

The what the heck is the title about? Well i’m losing my bachelorhood and that is almost as equivalent my virginity. Have been carefree, lived by my own terms, raced my bike on roads, went on late night drives, partied all night, slept through the day. No one to ask why? No one to ask where? But now its all changing. Isn’t that an important phase. I bet!. I will be stepping into responsibilities (yikes!!!) and relations(yawn!!) and have to keep’em all my life. But to tell ya, its a good feeling. Trust me, you should give it a try. But dont blame me if u crash and burn.

Now the details. kindly read the F.A.Qs and if that doesnt answer the questions post your query in the comments and i will reply to it.

Kindly note that questions like “Did you tell her about the night that you sneaked into your ex-girlfriends bedroom and kissed her for the first time?” will be promptly deleted and wont see the light ever again. Though the answer to that will be “No!” icon smile Oh Mama, I lost my Virginity! . What! You want me to get myself killed or what?
