feedbacks and bite backs

the wishes keep pouring in non-stop. most of them seem to have a "ask monica to be alert & you better take care of her properly bastard" thesis. i wonder why all of this go to monica and none for me ! chris, my ex-line manager from nokia, even said "oh boy, now you really have to be sensible". what is he trying to say ? any allusion to my work back at nokia ?

i have to shamefully confess that i was all out of sorts for two whole weeks leading up to the day of my marriage. if i could use words to explain how perturbed i was, then blogspot.com will surely shut down suing me for using up all their storage space. a nightmare. even the catholic priest was in a "interview that heathen and find out what he knows about love" disposition. i can remember standing next to monica having to shake 550 peoples' hands who were at the wedding reception and i knew none of them !! it was just like a dumb american blonde hostess standing at the exit saying "thank you for flying trans american" to 400 odd passangers. my unfortunate mate, william [click here], has to do this fire walk this summer.

having conquered "nervousness" on the day of my wedding, i feel quite cozy at the moment. may be the fear will come back to irk a bit a few days before the baby is due. monica's unsettled stomach seems to have mellowed down a bit. i attribute it to the change in her diet. my home smells like a fruit vendor's. indubitably, fruit flies would love to make mine their home in the short term.

monica loves to write romantic [bullshit] novels in her native tongue and it is usually a ".. hapily ever after" ending. the lass in her novel is usually gita. we decided, more than 2 years back, if we have a girl her name will be gita. i also used to read a verse from the 'Bhagawad Gita' every day and gita is a name i enthusiastically liked. now, here comes the toughy. what if the baby is a boy ? yovita, my sister-in-law [genius] suggested bhagawat !! hmm.. not a genius after all.

i've been reading some biology books on human reproduction, x&y chromosomes, genes etc. and all the other confusing gibberish. while at singapore i tried hard looking for a "mixed" baby - specifically an indian and a chinese mix. i could not find any as i was too much in a hurry. i just hope the chromosomes do their stuff properly [no improper mixing please] !! i am hoping our baby will be a balanced mix - not a short, black, quick-eyed, bent nosed baby.
