The Queen of Subtlety and I were talking today on Skype. We were catching up on good old days and having the usual banter, when she said…
do you know i read about all you other friends on your blog and get so jealous
ppffftt…
best friend, this friend, college friend…that friend…uuugh
i want to write a big board and say WIIIFFEEEE!!
I told her she is the only friend of the above mentioned categories to have an entire post on her and multiple mentions across several other posts. And then I thanked her for giving me a topic for today. I said I’d put up a pic of her and put a board saying WIFE! Since I don’t wish to die for the mere reason of having publicised a photo she then would kill me for, because she doesn’t look good in it, I stuck to just putting up a board title – WIFE!
Let me clarify the “Wife”, before any of you have wild imaginations. So, I’m this tomboy I’ve told you about several times. I’m constantly in jeans, T-shirts (or chequered shirts, mostly in blues!) and a pair of running shoes. She takes the word “Queen” and “Princess” quite literally at times and goes to the other extreme of being a completely pretty and mostly hot girl! She hates my boyish attire, and I don’t really care about her’s (pretty or otherwise) 😛 I’m constantly pulling her leg and responding with “No, I won’t/can’t /don’t” to just about everything she says. She tries to shower her love on me (sometimes quite literally in the form of tea, biscuits, curds, and whatnots 🙄 ), with hugs and I wriggle out of it with my classic “Ugh, get off me!” expressions 😀 She says “I love yaaaa” and I go “Yeah OK whatever 🙄 ” She tries to (in jest) be the damsel in distress and I tell her to cut the crap. She is absolutely bonkers about the colour pink and I make it a point to tell her every time just how much I hate pink (aaand that she should cut the crap). She calls me Jack (short for jackass, nothing fancy) and I return the love in titanic proportions by calling her Rose! Despite all these, I love her and will always be there for her, and I do think she loves me too 😉
After a few months of this behavioural exchanges, an ex-colleague (well, all three of us are ex-colleagues now!) said that while we’re supposedly best friends, we totally behave like Husband and Wife, where she is the nagging wife and I’m the no-nonsense husband 😛 😛 😛 And that stuck. To the point that my brother has her number saved in his contacts list as “Mrs Priya” 😛
Hence, the title. And the jealousy 😛 Long distance relationships are tough! I miss the wifey!
Awwwwww really

Jack and Rose….weren’t those the same names in Titanic too? Or am I mistaken? 😛 The wifey should swell with pride for this. Tomboyish husbands are better than real ones. 😀
It is so adorable to even read about your lovely friendship. God bless you both and may the bond only get stronger.

Yes yes…of course, same Jack and Rose. Once when I was about to leave, she said with a puppy face and lots of love, “Don’t goooo” and I followed that up with “Jack…don’t go!” in a monotone and killed it for her. Buhahahah. And hence the names and ‘titanic’ proportions of love 😛
Thank you so much! 🙂
