The Way To A Man's Heart

It is very hard to win a man's heart ( yes, at times). We wives have tried and tried and finally - Eureka! I've found it! - It's through his bottomless pit called the stomach.
Before I was married I had no clue as to why people say- the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I even literally imagined if there was an opening from the stomach sideways to the heart or something. But it is during this one year that I understood the various enchantments that the cuisine had on man's belly.

Me and my husband argue for a million and one reasons which keeps us both in the state of egoism for a while. While he is at it the clever wife goes to the kitchen and coddles up some dishes adding extra aroma boosting spices so that they attack his sense of smell first. I also bang some dishes to say 'I'm still angry with you' and continue to the dessert making part.The prey comes to the kitchen after a while to take a view of the food that's making him hungry and knows he has to act fast to solve the battle. So as a sign he slowly nudges my shoulder as if to say 'Hey I'm sorry'. Yes, the tower is falling...I pretend as if I did not feel anything and keep stirring the spoon, making teeth-biting noises. And with no choice left, he wraps his arms around me and I smile knowing I've won. I know I'm evil - but that's not the point. Men love food and that's the only thing other than women that keeps them happy.

So the old sages were right in saying that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. No wonder after marriages I see the stomachs of men getting really huge. Probably, so that the women can squeeze themselves in and work her way up to the heart! So the bigger the stomach the more the man loves you..no wonder my husband's love for me is growing for the past few weeks real fast ;)

All Work & No Play Makes Jack A Dull Boy

Yes, I'm back after such a long time - thanks to my busy work and office life. To all of you who love sitting and hitting the keys 24/7- this isn't what you should be reading. Hey, I have nothing against my job or anyone's , this is my personal opinion.

I'm sure all working people would have come across varieties of species in your working environment- the hard workers, the slow ones, the workers who have fun, the ambitious employees, the 'pain-in-the-ass' workers, the so called 'ass-kissers'... yes loads of 'em. I have seen many and yes, you all must have too. For all those of you who haven't- you surely will. Here's a link to a poem that I really liked. [link]

There is something disturbing in a few. There are people who love their jobs s much that they fail to see the other beautiful things in life. Now don't get me wrong here, work is important but never more than family. So many of them sit late, work extra hours neglecting their closed ones. And I really can't understand WHY? Get a life people! I have made it a rule in my life that I will never sacrifice the time I keep for my family to be invaded by my work. The world has made people think that they have to keep competing with every living soul on planet earth to be someone in life. That's crap..you can be someone by focusing on your family and close ones for a start. Why work on a Saturday when you can take your kid out to a beach and have your wife holding your hand, or have a laughter filled get together with people whom you forgot even existed during your 5 days of bee life. Never give up your family for a measly good name or extra pay.

I know so many people who just work their entire life away from family and country and come for just 30 days to spend with their home. I just keep wondering what do they really earn in life? Their kids hardly love them and it takes a while for them to even understand ' hey, it's my dad/mom'. I know for some people its different and they just want to provide a better future for their kids.

Don't ever keep your work above home. Always spend how much time you ever can to bond with your household. Never say a no when they ask you to take them out during weekends and don't ever unleash your stress and anger on them. I know my dad used to do this and now we are so closely knit that we have to talk to each other every day no matter where we are. And I want to have an exact same life. Do the work assigned to you instead of being overtly smart and everything will click at the right time.

In the hope of winning something don't lose everything you've been gifted.
