This blog is dedicated to my hubby who is just a very affable person. I mean, I just can’t stay grumpy around him for long (and believe me, I do grumpy very well). He knows all my secret fears and apprehensions, my desires and fantasies and 9 out of 10 times, his only concern is my happiness.
He is my best friend , but simply because of the fact that I am a woman and he is a man, he sometimes fails to understand the workings of my mind. I shouldn’t really blame him for this, but I do, most of the time. He being him remains cool as a cucumber and lets me vent out the grievance, let’s me rant everything out and get it out of my system. Often I give him the silent treatment, through which he patiently waits, anticipating my tantrum which invariably follows. Eventually he holds me and consoles me with the very clichéd ‘everything I do, I do it for you’ line. And no matter whatever the disconcert was about, I relent (being the typical romantic sucker of these clichéd lines).
But every now and then he snaps - big time, letting me know that I’ve reached my limit and his too. So then I go about resetting all the tempers to zero and beg for his forgiveness (because by now all those times where I have been unreasonable and he has been compliant, comes to my mind like the flashback of an old movie) .Then I coax him with his favorite food and some good old TLC and BOOM - we are ready to roll again. I wonder if this is a dance, as old as time itself and if it is played out in other households/relationships, with some variations, maybe and maybe even some role reversals.
Bryan Adams said it right:
Oh - once in your life you find someone
who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Ya - nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven.
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Ranj, no matter how much grumble and annoy you, remember this always, YOU are my heaven.
