Home Alone...

Its 8.10PM on Sunday and I have exactly 50 mins to complete this blog before this website goes down for maintenance for 2 hours. I am watching TV, as I have been since morning, while writing this blog. "Seven" on TBS and "Hey Ram" on Sony. My beloved will be home in less than 3 hours and I am looking forward to it. She is returning from a visit to her friend's place about 2000 miles away. I have been home alone for the past 3 days.
As I was returning to work after seeing her off at the airport on Thursday, I was jokingly playing Janakaraj's dialogue from "Agni Natchathiram" where he would rejoice saying "En Pondaatti Oorukku Poyittaa!!!"(My wife had gone out of town), in my head. I was actually looking forward to experience the weekend, all to myself. This is the first time I am alone at home when my beloved is not. It usually is the other way round. She may have been thinking, "let this guy experience this once to know what I am going through every time.. " and I was going to do exactly the same.
Friday evening was very busy and so I had no time to miss her.. (I hope this line magically disappears when she reads this blog). Come Saturday morning, I was looking at an empty house. My weekend mornings usually starts around 6.30 but this time, I did not get up until about 10AM. Maybe because I was not really looking forward to come down to an empty house. Thats when the missing started. I was trying to keep myself busy with some computer stuff and I did catch up on a lot of it on Saturday. I was already missing her nagging as I was sitting in front of my computer for an hour straight. I could not remember the last time I did that. It was quite refreshing indeed. I felt a lot more energetic after I completed the work and was very fresh. I also caught up on all my recorded TV shows Saturday evening.
Sunday was a pure R&R day. Did nothing except to read the newspaper, eat lunch and watch TV. Again, missed her while reading my paper, watching TV and of course while eating lunch. I decided to cook her a good but simple dinner and I spent an hour on that. I think it came out well. I started to watch TV again and I am still doing it as I am typing this.
I wanted to go to the airport to meet her as she walks out of the security, hug her and tell her how much I missed her. I can see a smug smile on my brother's face as he reads this since he always complains I never meet him at the gate. I am going to make up to that one of these days for sure. I just felt like writing this blog out of the blue and I am not going to proof-read this as I always do with the other ones. So until the next one, So long....
