What have you done, David!

David was happy to see me late in the afternoon.
“You have come to Dubai. You cannot go without visiting home,” he dragged me.
He was preparing tea when the bell rang.
“Hi sweetie,” he hugged her.
It was his wife, returning from school after a hard day’s labour.
“This is RR,” David introduced me.
“Hi,” she said without any interest and turned to David.
“What have you done to the house? I told you to keep it spick and span. You have made a mess.”
“Darlinggg,” he tried to appease her.
“What darling, barling? Don’t touch me David,” she shrugged. “Can’t you see I am sweating all over? There is inspection at school and you know I am going through hell.”
David looked at me like a cat from whose mouth a delicious rat had been snatched.
“You know boss. Teachers have a low pay, high tension job.”
“Ya, my wife is also a teacher,” I consoled him.
By that time, his wife had reached the kitchen.
“Daviddd..,” she yelled.
“Now what?” I murmured.
The milk on the stove had spilled over.
I looked at David sympathetically and took to my heels.

  3. Girls do not realize what privilege they have, being married and having kids, jobs and a home, etc. There is absolutely no need to constantly peck at our spouses! That too in front of their friends?! Absolutely not acceptable!!

    Here's a link to my post in those lines: Pecking hen no more

  13. Men machoism is over.
    Now it's either fifty fifty, or woman is in driver's seat.
    As she runs the show, it's much better to be "bheegee bili" or "pigeon" to be better off.
    Ramesh tell this to David so that he does all the cleaning as well as doing the dishes.
    What a revolution man!

  18. Ramesh,

    I read it before but I think it is pure fiction. I agree wives have tendency to nag but usually they are nice when there is a visitor.
