A Pinch Of Salt

1. "Ah, I know why you are not seen outside on the weekends" followed by all-knowing smile.
False. When the two houses that matter to you claim to be in the same city, but are so far apart that when it rains in one place, it's blistering hot in the other, half your weekend is spent inside a Santro cursing the Industrial Revolution.

2. "Things are so easy after marriage. All that you have to do is relax on the couch and wait for the food to be served to you"
Blatant Lie. They forgot to fill you in about the part where you clean up the kitchen while aforesaid provider of food is busy watching VH1.

3. "A (wo)man is a [wo]man's best friend"
Myth. Its the Microwave. And The Refrigerator.

4. "Wow, even your names start with the same letter. You are truly made for each other"
Prevarication. You should see the gravity defying stunts that happen over the remote control.

5. "When you see the missus do things you cannot do, you puff up with pride"
Fabrication. When the missus does Tanjore paintings for a hobby while you cannot draw a straight line even if your life was one the line, yeah right.

6. "Whatever stress you are under, vaporises the instant you see your dog wagging it's non-existent tail in glee at your mere arrival".
True. Blissfully True. So thankfully true.

Is that line that your life is on, the one you drew ? (or couldn't)
But then, looks like when it mattered, your line was perfect ! ;)

@Heidi
Simbu dada now wants new comers to pounce on. I am becoming too predictable for his taste.

@Such
I wore a kevlar-built full body armor before showing this to the missus. If "aan, okay okay" is an indication, yes, I passed ;-)

@Kanishka
Considering where you are, I am sure curd rice looks larger than life ;-). BTW, if you want indian food, check out Lexington Ave which is the Sajjan Rao Circle of Manhattan.

@rajesh
where ARE you by the way ?? "somewhere in the sky" is not an acceptable answer ;-)

@all the well wishers who have "congratulated" me after reading heidi's enthusiastic comment about the "new comer" in the family

your thanks are most welcome .. the new comer in the family is "simba" and yes, our dining, walking and scratching habits, not to mention our species, are significantly different.

@sirpy
thanks for visiting :-). the title is an indication of the fact that you need to take most things that you are told with "a pinch of salt" before actually buying into them :-).
