Reality Check
We lie hugging each other on the bed, lost in our own thoughts. The romance is not yet lost, I think blissfully to myself. Wonder why I felt that way… Maybe we should go on a romantic trip somewhere in the mountains.. No friends.. just us. I might even do the dishes today as a nice gesture.
Breaking my flow of thoughts, he abruptly says, ‘Remember you promised to make me some tea. Can I have some now?’
I’m aghast, but pout, "You want hug or tea?’ He thinks and constructs his reply slowly, ‘Both’.
I get up to make tea for the most tactless guy I know. "Now get your lazy butt off the bed and wash the freakin dishes."

| Leela August 23, 2004 08:28 AM PDT The PERFECT ANSWER Handa-ji is Pi saying, "Now, why don't I make tea myself." That way he gets his tea and a hug. Whew! Men! You have to s.p.e.l.l out everything. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Handa August 22, 2004 02:37 PM PDT Whokay Alpha... funda wanted for future reference... If Answer == HUG, Gets Hug; Else If, Answer == TEA, Gets Tea; Else IF Answer == Perfect Answer; Gets BOTH; Please tell me that what will be the PERFECT ANSWER which gets the poor guy both the things. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Apple August 22, 2004 10:11 AM PDT m said it all... But I still love Pi! :D:D:D | ||
| ||
| | |
| Parmanu August 22, 2004 05:30 AM PDT Pi wanted only tea, but he didn't dare say that. Smart, tactful guy - he atleast got the tea. And we got a nice post! | ||

| pompy August 22, 2004 02:22 AM PDT nice! :) one of those rare times when you let us into your otherwise, very private life. | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha August 21, 2004 10:38 PM PDT handa: Ofcourse, it was the most tactless answer...'both'?? Ofcourse he wanted the tea but he tried to keep me happy by saying 'both'. and he obviously didn't get the hug after that(& the sad part is I'm sure he wasnt too upset) bah! The correct answer wud be, 'Hug, anyday honey'..but then I wud have fainted. Charu: wow..thats some analogy. and then..if we get a dishwasher, then I'd have to look for more work for him..:) | ||
| ||
| | |
| Charu August 21, 2004 01:39 PM PDT 'reason dishwashers are so popular in the west... most husbands I know would rather buy one than be one' :) | ||
| ||
| | |
| Charu August 21, 2004 01:38 PM PDT oh, that's called mid-marriage crisis... begins around the time the honeymoon ends and usually lasts till his mom moves in to stay with you... which is when she will keep stuffing him with so much chai and nashta that he will never ever want to drink tea again... | ||
| ||
| | |
| the fillerman August 21, 2004 09:11 AM PDT Alpha's definition of tactless is "He who does not take my blatant hint". | ||
| ||
| | |
| IdeaSmith August 21, 2004 05:59 AM PDT Hmph....personally i love the ad where the guy says "Chai mil jaaye to mazaa ayega" and his lovely sweet wife says "Mere liye bhi banana!"!!!!!!!!1 | ||
| ||
| | |
| Handa August 21, 2004 03:01 AM PDT How can you call him tactless??? :O I mean, he did get both..... Thats some smart work dont u think.... ???? | ||
| ||
| | |
| AmitL August 20, 2004 10:35 PM PDT Twin,Ugh..I pity thy hubby....u mean he's the 'dishwasher' at home??And,the tea-maker,too,except when u condescend to make it as a special case?Tsk tsk..:):) | ||
| ||
| | |
| Patrix August 20, 2004 03:55 PM PDT no use trying that, Alpha...my foot has become an integral part of my mouth considering how many times I end up setting up myself for your jabs. Yogu, better review that book and get it over with..u don't wanna face a quiz from alpha..god knows how much has she understood the book herself :) | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha August 20, 2004 03:52 PM PDT yogz: You dont believe that I wud have bought it for u? *hurt* Are u planning to return it? I still have to hold a quiz to see if you understood it properly. Look at Patrix, he wrote a review for the book I gave him. Patrix: Kya re..I think I shud have given you a recepie book on how to make hot soups..or better still a guide to pulling your foot out of your mouth. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Patrix August 20, 2004 03:33 PM PDT Yogu, you were right there...and you blow it again. ...and Alpha, thanks but no thanks, I already got the Cold book :) | ||
| ||
| | |
| Yogustus August 20, 2004 03:19 PM PDT Mujhe namak book ki receipt chahiye!!! | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha August 20, 2004 03:10 PM PDT patrix: yeah, I knew that namak book would come handy someday. I shud have given you one too. | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha August 20, 2004 03:08 PM PDT hai raam, yogu! That was so sweet (I'm taking it as a compliment, btw). Maango jo maangna hai *I know I will be taken undue advantage of, but never mind* If I show this to Pi, he might say, 'I'd rather live with a hot blonde than Seinfield.' | ||
| ||
| | |
| Patrix August 20, 2004 03:01 PM PDT Yogu is trying to slide in ur good books...namak ka karz adda kar raha hai :) but frankly (damn!) i have to agree with him. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Yogustus August 20, 2004 02:28 PM PDT I think both of you make an absolutely adorable and wonderful couple...although I honestly feel that Pi is the more lucky one...:) Imagine...having constant live entertainment at your beck and call!!!...If thats not lucky, then what is??? Its like constatnly living with Jerry Seinfield!!! (i couldn't think of any famous woman comedian...ahem...exactly!!!) | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha August 20, 2004 01:35 PM PDT Patrix: I wouldn't settle for any second-hand tormented soul, thank you! As for me being a sweet understanding wife, I sweetly understand that Pi would be nowhere without me. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Patrix August 20, 2004 01:22 PM PDT and remind me again why you are such a "sweet understanding wife" ..bechara Pi..i have seen his tormented soul first-hand :) | ||
| ||
| | |
| alpha August 20, 2004 01:12 PM PDT Pats, Ash and Liz: You all havent got married na... Wait till that happens..You'll wonder,'Why is my wife packing her stuff and leaving? How did it work for Pi?' Thats coz bacha log, Alpha is such a sweet understanding wife. | ||
| ||
| | |
| Ashwin August 20, 2004 12:28 PM PDT Pi should conduct coaching classes to teach ignorant bachas like us about how to handle the alphas of this world!! :D ;) | ||
| ||
| | |
| Patrix August 20, 2004 11:47 AM PDT the guy sure knows how to handle you :) nahee toh... | ||
| ||
| | |
| Mr.Lizard August 20, 2004 11:18 AM PDT I think the answer was perfect !! Also, a friend of mine once told me that guys and tactless is basically the same word. Kya bakwaas. | ||
