I’m not going to retaliate and rattle off 10 things I hate about Jagadish. And this, for 2 reasons–one, the things he said um, are, um, probably true (sigh) and two, I can only think of 2-3 things off the top of my head that I absolutely dislike in him. I’ll have to think hard and long to come up with more than that, I think. What’s much easier is composing a list of things I do like about him, or about us. And so that is what this blog is all about. Ten (I’ve got to limit myself so I dont go overboard!) favorite things about him (in no particular order). I hope I dont embarass him. Or maybe I hope I do

Here goes!

1. When we pretend to study together, how I glance up to catch him staring at me (via webcam, of course). And how 5 minutes later, when I look up again at him, he’s still staring at me with a silly smile on his face.

2. How when I smile at him, he catches my eye and his face suddenly breaks into a smile. I love to see him smile.

3. How he looked absolutely stunned when we first met and yet was gentlemanly enough to walk on the hot tiles at Birla Mandir, while letting me walk on the cooler, shaded surface. (I’ll never forget that day). How chivalrous!

4. How he wakes me up every day around 6 AM. And I must add it’s not always in a very romantic manner (sigh) but it’s something I have grown so used to that it’s hard to wake up if it isnt him waking me up. I look forward to talking to him every day, first thing in the morning!

5. How he manages to find time to spend with me despite the harrowed life he’s living.

6. How he predictably says, “Enti, ippudu call chesav?” (=Kya hai, ab kyon call kiya?) when I call him unexpectedly. I always kid him about that and he has now resolved not to say it Successfully, I should add.

7. How he feels soooo shy about saying “I love you” when someone is around. Of course, I push and prod him to say it but aw, it’s adorable! He’s gotten a lot better at doing that nowadays though!

8. How I am the one and only person he absolutely and totally believes in, trusts in, and confides in. It makes me feel wonderfully special that I have an irreplaceable spot in his life.

9. How he can’t stand to fight me or be angry with me for too long and makes up quickly even if it was me who made the mistake.

10. How it took me 5 minutes to type all that up

Well, there’s probably more. And I absolutely agree with Jagadish about us complementing each other. If he’s lazy and stubborn, I’m the ultimate pusher. I never give up I’m surprised he didnt put that down as being annoying. I would think it very annoying if anyone did that to me! I think I’ve said too many good things about him so I will put a stop to it right here.
What’s next Jagadish?
