What kabuliwalas were in the 70s, the Gulfwalas are today. They always come back with goodies for everybody. This being the Christmas season, I wouldn’t be off target if I compared them to Santa Claws. Oops! Santa Clause.
Living up to the expectations – in fact even …

No, I didn’t get any money for this advertisement. Instead, he shot my mother-in-law for me.

Did you know that Ouchmytoe has gone live with a Cricket Blog? If you knew it… great, but if you didn’t know it…don’t even bother….it is just a bunch of links put together for AdSense revenue.

Today, I missed the Australian innings of the India vs Australia Champions Trophy match. As usual, Rekha was the culprit. It just isn’t cricket when your wife latches on to the cricket fever and talks all cricket. Whoever said, cricket was a gentleman’s game!
After the Indians had scored 249, the Aussies were just taking the …

Believe it or not, this is quite a ritual. It is not as easy as picking up the phone and calling them over for lunch. I wanted to call a NCC mate of mine home and this is what happened.
“Rekha we need to call Derek Lesley home,” I said casually even as I changed the channel from AsiaNet to Sun TV. Rekha being a Malayali always watches AsiaNet, while I being a Tamilian stick to Sun TV. 
“If you can change the channel back to AsiaNet, we can talk.”
Needless to say, …

I can now say that I am a much married man. I say ‘much married’ because we crossed our second wedding anniversary on 8th September. Despite the body and mind willing (actually, more of the body) I haven’t married many times. 
Have you notices that the word “Harried” rhymes with the word “Married”? Now you know why Prince Charles and Princess Diana named their son Harry when their marriage got sour. They were letting the World know that they were plain-and-simple harried with each other.
Moving on to today’s topic…after two years …

Gone are the days when my “I love you” would evoke an echo from my wife. I say echo because she would give me that romantic look and say “I love you.” It is a totally unrelated thing that as an afterthought, she would add “too”…meaning “I love you too”.
Now, that we have been married for two years (we celebrated our 2nd anniversary on 8th of September) things are changing. “I love you” no longer gets me romantic looks. They no longer get me similar meaning, if not similar sounding …

Last night, it rained. This phenomenon doesn’t happen often in Chennai but when it does, it rains cats and dogs. In fact, today morning I spent half an hour removing cats and dogs from the clothes we had left outside for drying. During the exercise I also observed that wet clothes are a lot heavier. Perhaps that’s why rescuers find it difficult to lift people who drown in water and get their clothes wet.
Around 12 midnight, the sky had started thundering.
I once had an old, naughty grandpa who believed that …

- I like you in those tight-fitting jeans.
- Looks like you didn’t wax your hands.
- I just called up your father.
- May I do the dishes?
- Why don’t you call me at work?
- Everybody liked the lunch I carried with me today.
- My mother wasn’t as good a cook as you are.
- If you have a headache, that’s fine. I can understand.
- Let me take you out for an ice-cream.
- What does your mother like?
Note: Add more if you can….
