Defective piece....
Yesterday, Jeetu's complaint ever since we got married (that my parents have palmed off a "defective piece" on him) was totally ratified...... It started with 'my head is aching', went on to 'my gums are bleeding', cruised into a 'my neck & shoulders are collapsing' and ended with 'my eyesight is going'.....
Seriously, i went to the Doc last evening (finally, after much begging from my husband) and discovered that my retina is just fine, but my eyes are 'susceptible' to allergies!!! sigh...what else is new? Ever since i can remember, i have been allergic.... (to cooking, working, cleaning, etc. etc.) Anyways, coming back to the original point, i swear that Jeetu TRULY believes in his heart that i am a 'defective piece' - what with my faulty hearing, my perennial cervical issues, my "dentists' dream come" dracula teeth, my expensive occular requirements, and ofcourse, my world famous "sniff-sniff" cold which NEVER fails me when i'm on vacation! In all of this i forgot to mention my 90-year old wheezing which kicks in every time i laugh!!!! whew...! can you blame my parents for off-loading me on to the first possible guy who seemed willing to live with this collapsing nightmare?
I came home from the doc with blurry eyesight (they dilated my pupils & that was fun - i figure that's what the world looks like through a drunken haze). But don't worry - driving was a breeze as that's how the average Hyderabadi drives anyway - without worrying about what's more than a metre away from his/her vehicle. One just kind of "keeps going" hoping that everyone else will get out of the way....
Jeetu's doing afternoon shifts these days (he goes to work around 12 noon and gets back at 11 at night), which is a royal pain. I know...i know - he still wakes up before i do, and sleeps after i do, but i'm the one who gets stuck with all the guilt, na? so you guys should sympathize with ME, right? Imagine, i'm the one who's forced to watch all MY favourite serials from 7:30 to 10:00 at night - how traumatic to eventually win the fight over the remote control (it really IS traumatic when you WIN, but there's no loser:-( takes all the fun out of winning....)
Gotta go now....will be back, soon! Thanks, Rupak, for posting the very "first" comment - am glad you enjoyed reading this as much as i've enjoyed putting it together!!!!

Well, I keep saying my wife is defective but this is just to make myself happy as I also have lots of defects. So in comparison you can always say I am less defective. BTW who is not defective in this world.
Ambu you are the best......I was saying that before marriage and will keep saying forever :-)
