A Little Warmth

A Little Warmth​

​

​

Harsha came back on Saturday from Mumbai, I told her to get the cheapest ticket, as I am very miserly, and she got the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:time Minute="0" Hour="6">6 am</st1:time> flight, and arrived at 7/30 am. I requested my brother who stays closer to the airport than me, to pick her up, as I was feeling damn cold, and suffering from cold since a month.


As soon as she came home, it was the customary hug, when Tuffy jumped n both of us, he just cant see us hugging, jealous guy. I had made good hot tea for her in advance, and we sat talking.And I thought here has come my hot quilt for this damn cold weather, when she suddenly said “ Kamal , Mumbai was so lovely, the warmth of the weather, meeting yr mom, and my sisters, that I wish I had stayed more there.”


There went my warm quilt ! And now she says she will stay Dec and Jan in Mumbai, to stay away from the cold, and maybe me, I suspect. But I don’t blame her really.At 2 degrees, with no central heating , it can be quite unbearable even under 2 quilts.


What I do is, first lay out one blanket on the bed, then the second one, and arrange them neatly one top of the other, and then quietly slip in, put both over, and sleep in the feteous position, as Harsha describes.And bcs of the cold, I have to go to the loo twice at least in the middle of the night, and it takes me half an hour to make up my mind to go to loo, or relieve myself inside the quilt.I am thinking of buying Adult Diapers for myself, and feel like a baby once more.And that half an hour thinking to go or not to go, makes me lose sleep,but it is one of the biggest decisions I have to make every night.



I envy the people in <st1lace>Europe</st1lace> and <st1:country-region><st1lace>USA</st1lace></st1:country-region>, where they have central heating and however cold it is outside, inside u can move in shorts and TShirts.And cars are centrally heated too , unlike here. I doubt that all the 18 girlfriends of TW, even at one time can keep Tiger warm in conditions like what we face in Jaipur.But I envy him, what a guy, what flavours he has tasted, lucky fellow.God is kind to just a few.


I was discussing this with my walker friends in the Garden yesterday, and all agreed that the warmth of the quilts is better than the warmth of the spouse. For to be with her, u have to have to be under one quilt, so there will be a gap and icy cold air will seep in, and then well, it is too cold to u know do something else.


And Harsha said no more antibiotics for the cold, don’t u know there is no cure for common cold. And I have had 15 days of antib and it can zap u, the minute u leave it, the cold and congestion comes back.so she gave me some homeopathic pills, the gargle of salt water, which has relieved the cold.This was a clear indication, that don’t come under my quilt, take these medicines and vamoose !



But then, I guess it is age, which makes u prefer the quilt to the spouse or the girlfriend, as the case may be. But I always remember “ Kabhi hum Bhi Jawan The “.


So who knows , if Harsha goes this December Jan to Mumbai, I may go off to the topless beaches of Sunny Spain, after all everyone has his or her own ways of keeping warm !


Smile !

The jokes are really very silly, but the good ones that I have, well too spicy, and I don’t want to annoy the pretty ladies out here.As it is I am Badnaam.Harsha has okayed the jokes she read them and smiled , so I guess they must be decent enough to post



Doctor – Your kidney has failed I am sorry to say
Santa – Ho Ho ho .You are wrong, My kidney has never gone to give an exam, so how it can fail ?




Santa goes on a business trip to <st1:country-region><st1lace>Spain</st1lace></st1:country-region>, and goes to a Brothel.
He is shown the prettiest of the females, but he tells the brothel owner
“ Show me the ugliest 50 ish woman, with sagging this and sagging that.
The owner – Are u mad ?
Santa – No, I am remembering my wife, and I am feeling homesick !!!
