Once you are married you practically tend to spend almost all of your available free time in the company of each other. You tend to understand the other person better and enjoy random events which sometimes are absolutely fun.

So the other day me & wifee were driving along the Magrath road inĀ  Bangalore. When out of the blue wifee suddenly shot back with a question/statement “Why on earth is Mac so expensive?”. Now this was an opportunity for someone like yours truly to impress the wifee with knowledge prowess. I mean you don’t leave this opportunity even if you are 10 years into the marriage and for me, I haven’t even completed 10 months.

So I went into details of how the Mac has a different hardware platform and the software which work more efficiently over the machine as compared to the others. I was about to delve into the drawbacks of restrictive hardware access by Mac and Apple. I saw the wifee was looking towards me as if I had just been reincarnated from a different planet.

That was when I realized I was talking about this-

And the wifee was talking about this-

After that I did the most sensible thing a man would do “Shut Up” :\

  20. Deeps says:

    No new posts??? You still haven’t recovered from the shock of ‘disconnect’, have you?? :lol:

  21. ROFL! You know what’s funnier…I probably would have been similar to you…not a Mac fanatic here but the Apple product is the only Mac I know! Can imagine the look on your face… :P

    A Nice one..:)

    But why do u say ‘wifee’..why not her name? :) Somehow a name sounds better me thinks than slotting into terms like ‘wife’ ‘husband’ etc which come with a lot of pre conceived moulds dont you think? :)

    I have gone through plenty of your blogs and book reviews. I am a debut author and have recently written a book ‘We can pull it off’. Is there a way to have the book reviewed by you? It is an interesting concept and I would like to see it widely read.Your advice will be helpful
