My wife has asked me to write this blog on the quality time of two weeks. Oops... I might have fallen for a prank here. In any case, I dedicate this to her.
Today is farewell to my short-lived bachelor life since the wedding last year. My wife was traveling for two weeks on official business. On hearing about her official plans a month ago I was overjoyed. Had gotten myself ready, as if, to welcome a long lost friend with countless things to share.
The big day had come. I sent off my wife that morning. At work, thoughts about being a bachelor for the next two weeks brought sporadic smiles on my face. I couldn't wait to invite freedom. Freedom from answering the same question more than once. Those who know women - especially wives - will certainly agree with me on this. Answering tricky question is not my cup of tea. Husbands may have practiced and be certain of answering the question. However the talent that wives possess is unmatched. Wives pose the same question in different ways until husbands give in and answer in a way that they regret later. At times, when we are taken care of and treated to an extent of mere five-year olds, the dream of being a grown up all though life has suddenly be proven meaningless. And wives don't understand that. With all due considerations, the two weeks seemed like a long time. A dream come true.
All joy lasted only till evening. When I returned home and opened the door, a rush of loneliness possessed me. Independence and freedom became pointless. My long lost friend was now a stranger. I had nothing to share. Who would share with a stranger? A day itself seemed like a very long time now. An urge to answer questions - no matter how many times asked - grew. Anything to get my married life back. All of a sudden, my mobile rang. Yes, she was the one. Geared up with questions on what I ate to what all I did. Giving away free advices on eating fruits and drinking water. For someone who lived most part of his life alone and outside, this turns out to be a little annoyance. But undoubtedly worth it. My IQ did improve in one year.
Thanks to technology - voice and text - two weeks flew away without my felt lonely. Awaiting eagerly to be imprisoned again.
Bachelor life is an unknown angel. Who would trust an unknown angel against a known ___? The blank is for my wife to fill out :-)
