The toothbrush, the laptop and Me!!

The lone toothbrush has stared at me four times now. Twice for each day that I have been a single woman. Well, when you call yourself a woman and not a girl means you are so...so...soooo married.

Anyhow, with a husband who hardly travels for more than a night for work, it seems single days are back if he is gone for 4 nights( Why the hell am I writing nights, no naughty thoughts ppl). But so far it hasn't been capitalising on the single days for me as I sit and stare at the toothbrush each morning and night. Yeah, I brush at night too, a habit cultivated after marriage through Mohit. Ya, now that gets me back to the topic of conversation.

When I was single and there wasn't anyone in the picture I didn't care if the toothbrush stood alone in its stand. Now it feels so lonely just like me. The poor soul keeps wandering about in its stand with fellow occupants of the bathroom willing to give company. Same goes for me too.

I am symbolic of the lonely toothbrush. :) I am wandering off alone from room to room and shop to shop and mall to mall. Well, shopping therapy for boredom. With all my friends and relatives calling to give me company for lunch and dinner. Especially Tonight! His Birthday. An evening we have spent together for the past 3 years. While it seemed unthinkable two months back and unconceivable one month back, it is the reality right now.

How contrasting our lives are on his birthday? Compared to the previous 3 times that we've had totally painted the town red and blue and whatever the phrase goes, this time it doesn't seem like its the birthday of the man in my life.

The dude must be having fun with his bumchums in some night club right now while I sit sipping a bored looking cup of tea penning this on my new Sony Vaio. After all, this was the bait offered to me in return for this all boys trip. Somehow the laptop, even with its bright red shade isn't exciting me enough to send him away on the day that matters.

At the end of the day, I know it and you know it and we all know it, the Laptop wasn't just a bait, it was just an opportunity materialised upon from my side. When I knew the ball was in my court, I decided to make him show me the money. I would've anyways let him go, laptop or no laptop. But no laptop or camera or money can make me feel any better or make me miss him lesser on 15th January.

I wish I was a mean wife!

On a lighter note, I saw the MasterCard ad and coined a phrase of my own:

Shoes to tread in the snow: Rs. 3,000
Tickets to Riga: Rs. 35,000
Laptop to keep wife happy: Rs 40,000

Permission to go on the bachelors trip: PRICELESS

Happy Birthday Mohit!
Wish you many more happy and exciting trips(but with wife)
