The Ghosts In Your Closet .....

If you are plump, you are haunted by the calories you eat

If you are employed, you are haunted by the pink slips

If you are pregnant , you are haunted by the weight you would gain

If you are a student, you are haunted by the weight of expectations and assessments

If you are in the movie biz, you are haunted by the Friday box-office

If you are sportsperson, you are haunted by a game loss.

If you are a mother, of well you are haunted all the time with worries.

And when you are a blogger, you are haunted by the " writer's block! "

We all have our ghosts, so what haunts you?

P.S : Well this post is in lieu of the Halloween spirits & not because the wordsmith in me is on a temporary ( hopefully ) furlough like some of you suspect :P :P :P

Oh wait! I just got one more - If you are an Indian, you probably are haunted by what our government bans next! :P :P

Happy Halloween fellas :vD

Personified !

A little bird had just told me a juicy piece of gossip and like all women I felt the urge to share it instantly. And since there was no one else left in the circle who hadn't heard the news, the unsuspecting husband had to bear the brunt. So after a lot of nudging and prodding, I was finally able to garner his attention  and blow his mind away with the ammo I was loaded with :P

Me - You know my friend X...

He - Who?

Me- The one we met at A's wedding...

He- ? ? ?

Me - ( slightly agitated )  How can you not remember him!!!! the bespectacled tall guy...

He ( still has a blank look )

Me - .. with a french stubble.. 

He - ( still no hint of recognition )

Me- ... he has pierced ear and a tattoo too...

He- ( now looking totally lost )

As I scratch my head to come-up with more distinguishing features of the protagonist, he suddenly turns to me with a triumphant look..

He: OH! Wait a min...Is he the one with the Ninja or the Harley?

Me - @$@$@@!!!!!!

Yup unless you own a super-cool toy or gadget, you are not making into his radar.... oh wait even an impeccable sense of humor would do ( a certain friend seemed to have successfully hacked his funny way in.)

PS: Are all husbands this way or I just seem to own an exclusive collector's piece :P

PPS: I do know how to keep a secret.. it's just that.. it takes a lot of resilience to keep something from him :f Anyway since he has a memory of a goldfish, your secret is totally safe! :P :P
