Ummm...Thursday?

Wow....super long time.....what can I say....feels good to be back to my writing ways (maybe spoken too soon....but we'll see how this goes in the days to come).So for those who came in late...nothing much has been happening my end...unless you consider getting married a big deal. Yup, Tanvi and me got married last year. I'm sure getting married could be considered a super big deal by most of the people I know...but in my case it was a "no-biggie"...coz I like to think of myself as a rare but extremely desirable commodity...surely someone was bound to find me and fall for my super cool charm. So it comes as no surprise that Tanvi fell for me the moment she laid her eyes on me...I agree it must have been pretty ego-boosting for her when she said “yes” to me …but then again... it was something totally expected. (Tanvi will strongly beg to differ...I wonder why...hmmm). Ahem…I guess this is as far as I can go with my brave banter...anything more and I'm treading on the hallowed grounds of Suicideville. For the benefit of those folks who are considerably weak on their emotional geography...Suicideville is strategically located north of the Painsville, east of Deathville along the banks of Cold-Shoulder River near the port of No-Food-For-U.

Jokes aside…I'm a changed person since I got married last year...I have realized the significance of important dates in our lives...I've actually started to feed these dates into my phone...one year anniversary of meeting Tanvi for the first time...one year anniversary of our engagement ... one year anniversary of our first butter chicken date... two month anniversary of our marriage... three month anniversary of our marriage...four month anniversary of our marriage...you get the picture, right?...coz the list goes on...and mind you…its absolutely impossible to keep a track of all these significant milestones life has to offer but nonetheless I continue to aggressively put my Blackberry Calendar to use. Its futile...I know it...coz eventually I'm sure I'll slip up in this game of "guess the day"... but till this unbeaten streak is brought to an abrupt end (followed by a scenario wherein I can't come up with a believable explanation for my lack of memory) I will continue to document these key signatures of time. I learnt the hard way that the answer to "What day is it today, honey?" most certainly cannot be a "Today is a Thursday, love...why do you ask?"

I will agree though, that life has certainly changed for the better...coz earlier the first thing I'd do when I got up in the morning, would be to look at my phone and make sure I wasn't running late for work...now I look at my phone to see if Tanvi has sent me a "Good morning Hubby, miss me yet?" text ... and I'm always late to work :)
