Wife of an Engineer

It was a beautiful Saturday morning. We were about to have our tea; when my husband said, its been long lets plan a candle light dinner tonight. "Yes sure",(Happily) I answered. But where ? Our home Baby; somehow, I don’t feel like going out today. He replied, Cool ! Help me with a good menu, I insisted. I thought if  he planned for dinner then the food should also be of his choice. After all I was ready to make whatever he wished. ;) Now, enjoy the conversation below between Wife of an Engineer and His Engineer. :) I think "What to make should be declared as the world ‘s biggest problem".

Step1 : To relate, reconnect with the last blog :   http://wifeofanengineer.blogspot.com/2017/02/thank-god-its-friday.html Step 2 : Enjoy today's blog !! :) Me: Sweetheart u remember our last weekend? He: Yes honey, I know my work ruined it all. Me: Oh! it’s alright, things weren’t in your control; but we had an awesome one this time. He:  We could link it as  2 sides of a coin. After having fun and good time with friends, “MONDAY MORNING BLUES” was on my mind. It was Sunday night, I was thinking why “The first 5 days after the weekend are always the hardest. Whether it’s a student, an employee, a mother or a wife; keeps wondering “Why is Monday so far from Friday, and Friday so near to Monday?     I doubt if someone really has an answer to it. It’s been ages we have been facing this, “Monday” scenario; yet we feel what if one day we hear a breaking news, “Monday has been cancelled and we could go back to sleep. From going to school early morning to off

Who doesn’t wait for a Friday. Like everyone I too wait. No morning alarm, snoozes and no husband’s office. I eagerly wait because it brings reasons of happiness to spend more time with him shopping, enjoying lip smacking food or coffee at our favorite joints. But nothing of wish and choice happened the following week. Why? You must be thinking again a phone call? No, no! It was a sudden unexpected work delivery. Yaar(politely), how long will this take? I asked. He was tensed because his wife was imagining her weekend getting spoiled. Darling(hesitatingly) an hour or may be an entire day, he replied. This weekend was an important one for us as we with our friends were throwing a surprise party for a common friend and I especially was excited for it. Seeing me a bit upset, he cheered me up, don’t worry dear me and my team are trying to wrap up the work as soon as possible. Meanwhile I thought  why not to carry on with the party preparations. Later seeing his work in ful

We began to settle in the new city. New place, people and environment is what we were getting used to.     Finally, the moment came when we got our Wi-Fi connection at home. Post all the initial settings we quickly sat to press the “Play Button”. And again, we could not .  But why we could not, you must be thinking? Like the last time, his phone rang again.  Phone call, again? Yes, but this one was: Me: What happened now? He: Couple of friends coming to see us. Me: Right now? He: I am going to pick them up from the airport; till then honey, please prepare some snacks for them. And don’t worry it seems they would not stay for long. Me: It’s alright sweetheart! But it was not alright as somewhere deep in my heart, I was guessing a long stay. On receiving the friends; I noticed them with 2 huge suitcases, which confirmed their stay for a dozen of days. While talking to the friends also, Game of Thrones was still on my mind. Initially, I thought of asking my husband

Upon his so much insisting it was the first time when we sat to  watch "Game of Thrones" together. It would have been an hour only when suddenly his phone rang.(call on a weekend) That call said something post which we could not press the play button. Call, What call? Official call on a weekend?  Yes, you guessed it right , an official call! The call said "Transfer in a Week". This tag left me speechless. He : Why are you speechless? Me : Why was your phone near to you? He : I am surprised too yaar, but we will we have to do this in a week now. And please relax its Sunday today, lets get to the groundwork first. My man is very well equipped with "Groundwork skills" He made a very beautiful plan which gave us a visual clarity of everything. But was that all. No, it wasn't. Every morning as per the plan I was assigned a list to be performed that had a certain deadline followed by touch base reporting in the evening. (This format is dir

  We always used to think about our talking topics. Initially, we   enjoyed the lovey-dovey chit chats and gossips; but there was something about which I was clueless. “Technical and logical ones” were the clueless discoveries.  Now, that was the Surprising Turning fact about those talks.   When his work wants him, that means we obviously have to ignore the weekend morning sleep, at  times skip movies and also neglect my favorite grocery shopping too. A plethora of Work codes, Client Names, and clauses are also now a part of my life. Beginning till today even in my deep sleep, his phone ringing makes him hear the same” What, work in demand”. After all he is he, because of his work only!!

Though all seasons are important and everyone's season choice is different. "The Nature's calls" of Season's cycle is to be experienced by all of us. My knowns almost await the Winter Season for its hot teas and coffees all day, hot sumptuous food  specially the Indian, and the beautiful winter Fashion wear. But me contrary I think of a quilt dress, a heater fitted in me, bread toast and a cup of tea in bed !! Does all this exist? Yes, it does ! But only in my dreams.. Also to mention the 10 minutes alarm snooze; getting over in just 2 minutes. As wife of an Engineer, 2 snoozes reminds me of my husband's work, meetings and his early conference calls. Later being empathetic towards him, for the winter season reason, makes me sense his coziness too for home and everything. All I wish for our "God Sun" is to shine brightly everyday !!
