Few of my favourite things ....

I wasn't served tea on bed 

nor woken by the tune of an old song at day-break

a mayna-pair did not greet me on my way

nor did my breakfast-table lay strewn with garden-picked-lilies or a batch of freshly baked brownies....

but i am all smiles and giggles today

... for this morning I received a little love note from husband to brighten my day.
a picture-postcard it was,- a picture-postcard to cheer me up...

....a postcard with a peeping giraffe from the maxwanger shop ... 

and since "morning shows the day" - they say

i am hoping that today will be a wonderful day

and when night falls i hope to wind up in bed complacent and gay !!

Dear Husband .......

I met someone from your  Alma mater yesterday..

I asked, if he knew you... he said, he did not

Surprising !!  for you shared the same residence...

and you were a part of all the campus games !!

At that, - a friend commented, 

"perhaps he was invisible then and that  strategy won him his games..."

i smiled, then thought to myself,

' i am so glad,-  you made yourself visible.. only for my sake ...'

love,love,love,

yours only.....

Dear Husband.....

             Perhaps you remember ...  but surely not my way .. so i thought i should recall  the day which makes me wish for the rains every once in a while.........

it was the summer of two-thousand-four..

we were  friends then ..

       not man and wife yet.....

dinner was over and suddenly it had begun to rain

I called you,  said,

     "the weather is perfect for a cup of coffee, what do you say ?"

  and in a while you came with an umbrella my way..

the umbrella wasn't big enough

  so half-and-half we got drenched

  but my coffee-urge did not budge
         and as always you remained patient  ...

by the time the frothy coffee was made

  the rain had stopped....

only wet windowsills remained

 but you acquiesced...

         played along ..... did not complain
         and pretended that the weather was still perfect  

   for the frothy coffee i had time-takingly made.....

love you always for bearing all my idiosyncrasies smilingly and playing along un-grudging through them....

Happy Birthday dear dear Husband...

                                                                                            love you always.............   

 love,  love, love,     ..  

yours only   .......

love....

Dear love,     

there was so much to say

yet when i heard you speak....

my heart skipped a beat..  my words failed

... with butterflies in the air  i forgot all that  i had wished to say...

  i forgot the sweet nothings that i had whispered into your ears
in that early hour in my dreams -  
when i was missing you....   and  had  closed  my  eyes              

 and  imagined  you  were  here      

you were here... you were near..  
and i was alive....

love, love, love,
yours only...
