Promiscuous girl. ( In my dreams )

With RD traveling again, I’ve been staying at my parents and having my sleep problems again. I know it sounds weird but I’m so used to the bed, mattress and sheets in our apartment; the shower, my couch, my rugs; the works that I actually have a hard time getting used to the stuff in my parents place.

The first night, I dreamt of having an affair with A.R. Rahman; we meet in a concert, he serenades me with an orchestra and fights with his wife to marry me because his religion allows him to marry more than once. In my next dream, I’m having an affair with the guy from My Wife and Kids. He’s quite a cute black guy but I have no idea why on earth I dreamt of having an affair with him.

So RD’s back tomorrow morning. He’s been away for almost 4 days and he’s taking me to Pondicherry tomorrow.

You probably think that’s very sweet right ? I mean, we barely go on any trips together, we’ve just celebrated our first anniversary and he’s whisking me away for a romantic week-end ?

Let me re-phrase :

RD’s back tomorrow morning. With his boss ! ! !
We’re going away for the week-end. With his boss ! ! !

They both come over to our apartment; we go out for lunch and drive to Pondy. Now, his boss is from Chicago and wants to have a cultural week-end before he heads back to the States. So we’re taking him to Dakshinchitra and Pondicherry to show him the ashram. RD’s told him about the crocodile park and he’s quite excited about checking it out as well. Sigh.

I’m just a little queasy about how much shop talk I will have to hear during the car ride to Pondy. Not to mention having to tolerate RD’s accent while talking to the boss. Sometimes I feel that all that RD can talk about is his work; sad stories from work; funny stories from work; how this colleague said this and how someone else said that.

I’ve stocked up on loads of books; chick-lits and random reads, am going to charge my I-pod and probably carry my laptop and watch South Park on it. Don’t get me wrong, the boss is quite a sweet guy. Very polite, very affable and courteous. The last time he was here, we took him to Gymkhana and described it as an ‘ old English club’ which it actually is but it’s quite funny to describe it that way. Plus, he’s adopted two very cute girls from China and has all these sweet stories about them. And, we’re staying at the Promenade.

Plus, you never know. Maybe, when his boss is doing RD’s performance review this year, he might remember how sweet and nice his wife was and give him extra points. So, I guess it’s all good.

Wonder what the results would be if I were to do a performance review of RD. Or, him for me. Ha.

So, what are you doing this week-end ?
