2 days .........and no work

My husband left yesterday for out of station on an office visit. This meant that I was alone in my apartment for 2 days and 1 night.....

Well what does that leave me with.

Finally some alone time..... or back to bachelorhood days (as my husband teased me) or that I will be eagerly waiting for him to return, counting every hour?

Yes, counting every hour is precisely what I did. And as I am writing it, I am truly ashamed of it.

I suddenly had this feeling that just because one spends all their time with their partner or is habituated to living with someone, it is hard to go back to being one your own..

I told my husband that it is hard to imagine how people live alone. And then he said to me that living alone is not a problem, but once you get into the habit of living with a partner, then it is hard to go back to living one.

This reminded me of a lecture on social psychology in my undergrad that for people who have not been in love, Love is not a big deal. But for someone who has experienced love, love definitely has much more meaning or significance for them.

Bottom-line... I think habits a bad. Be it cigarettes, alcohol or a partner. Don't lose yourself to it.

I agree with you "Shwets" :) Habits are bad, but not all of them..you cannot compare or relate a habit like wanting to be with your partner/loved one with a habit (..rather an addiction)to cigarette, alchohol..right? there are several examples of habits that we can think of, that can be tagged as good, or a custom, if I may..being addicted to them is bad..atleast my perspective is such..I agree to your point that finding it hard to live alone for a day or two, isn't really the way it should be. But that also proves that wanting to be with your partner (always) is neither your habit nor your addiction, but simply your love!

My trip to Chicago

This is about my trip to Chicago during the easter break. My brother's friends had decided to meet up at a club and he said that we come along as well. My husband and me are acquainted with a few of his friends but not that well, so we were apprehensive about going. But I had a great time there. There were about 7 girls and all of us danced together, no boys. Wow... it reminded me of college times. It was a lot of fun. So I think that next time we go out here in Indy, we girls can have fun on our own. And that makes me thinking that when will have our girls' nite sleepover again. The last one was so much fun. So my friends if you are reading this lets plan on one soon. Girlfriends are indispensable. Chicago reminds me of another funny incident. We all had gone to the signature lounge in the Hancock tower for a drink. I had heard that the view from up (95th floor) there is great, and why pay to watch chicago from SEAR's Tower when you can have a drink at the signature loung...

Taare Zameen Par

Hats off to Aamir Khan for directing this movie. He has made a splendid movie, right from the heart. It carries a beautiful message, and has brilliant performance. Aamir comes at the interval and is present only in the second half. He is selfless in the sense that there is scope for every actor in his movie to have their space, ample screen time and deliver their best performance. The little one in the movie Darsheel is brilliant. For all who dont mind crying while watching movie, there is ample scope for you. Go watch everybody... you won't regret.

Pleasing men!!! Not as easy as it seems

Recently it was my husband's birthday. Birthdays are fun, but they bring along some anxiety with them. The million dollar question- What present shall I get him? I can brainstorm this issue and still never arrive at a satisfying conclusion. So lets begin.. If your husband is finicky- you can not buy clothes, shoes etc etc (if he doesn't wear it, I will feel bad) If he is tech savvy- then he knows what is the best thing to buy, read all the freaking reviews and even know a better place to get a decent deal. If you had earlier asked him to prepare a wish list (I tried that too), then all the things were so expensive (I could not spend that much money). If your husband prefers tangible things, then all other ideas such a surprise trip, and other fancy ideas can be thrown out as well. (Last time I bought him a package of guitar lessons, I am not sure if he thought it was the best present). If you are too finicky then you dont want to be repetitive and give something similar to wha...
