Am I right?
Last night, or I think it was very early morning, lightning and thunderous rain woke me up.
"Oh SHIT!!!" I am capable of swearing even when half awake.
The clothes! I had washed almost everything in the house at night and hung out the slightly damp threads, in the merry sky to dry.
I ran to the window and walked out. I was soaked in an instant. Lightning struck followed by thunder and I skipped inside dripping water into the bedroom. Don't want to risk life for miserable bed sheets and towels and a man's t-shirts. No, thank you.
"Oh shit!" I realised he's managed to coolly take over my side of the bed (and no, he never managed to wake up for the clothes). On other days, no amount of shoving, cruel nudging or tickling can wake up the sleeping beauty or make him move to give me little space on my side.
All I had to do was place my wet self in his arms and the beauty sprang away to his own side. I was thrilled. Vicious delight took over. I moved a wet hand gently over the sleeping face. He sneezed twice. I waited. I repeated it and made him sneeze again. Then I changed into dry clothes, lay down and pulled a cheek with a dry hand. No reaction.
If only I wasn't so particular about my right side of the bed.

Ohhhhh,i realized i am the firstttt one to comment here after a long time,u may ask "so what" {Infact i am asking myself" but i have no idea,Maybe it gives a vicious pleasure of finding out that a new post is waiting here to be read:)) and you read it asap:D
Anumita... Looks like you are blessed with a very very understanding and soft tempered 'sleepin beauty' of a hubby! :)) Good for you :)
In the middle of his sleep, he tolerated all those things you did! :) Maybe marriage forces a man into 'sweet surrender', to his woman! Guess i havta wait for quite a long time to really get a hang of this post :)))
jussss kidddingggg
Don't know of many people who have left the right side of the bed.
"First one to comment..." on 'a few seasons worth' seem's to be bullish.
LOL!!!
So cute!!
:D
Ahhh, revenge. It is SO sweet and non-fattening.
LOL! that is the most adorable side of anumita i have ever seen.
LOL! How have you been?
Hehe. Sweet :)
:)

:))
loved it..
that was cute, n i was thinking that something romantic wud have ensued :)
Sweet? cute?? duhhh...thats irritating!! {*hav been on receiving end many times *}
Yaah, me and my roomies don't even budge an inch when it is raining and there are clothes hung outside... it is just plain laziness, I know :)
Poor hubby of yours.. becharte ko pata bhi nahi hoga ke uske upar kya beet rahi hai ... :D
Its been raining cats and dogs here too.. Miku must have got a shock in his dreams.. LOLOLOL
:o))
sweet....
yes! what is it with the rains? thunder and lightening and all. anyway i dont sleep. past two days ive been wide awake watching the lightening light up goregaon hills every few minutes. and sania and maria light up the arthur ashe stadium.
At times you can forget the right to the 'right' side and see encouraging results :)
cackling at realisation that am not the only one to do such things.
Hehe :D
akruti: Wet clothes in the house is a complete no-no, considering the size of our houses here. It's either clothes or us in the rooms! Since I am writing at night, I guess it's corresponding to your time of blogging too. :)
johnny boy: Yes, I have been blessed with a hubby who can sleep for days and NOTHING disturbs him while he's at it! Not even holding nose tightly shut till he chokes, or taking off the bedsheets from underneath!
atul sabnis: The right side is where I get my best sleep :)
nupur: Not really. If he knew he would take deadly revenge.
kahini: You bet it is! When I am taking it.
transience: Thank you. I hope he feels the same.
subs: Hey, am good! Read somewhere you were vacationing in Africa! Lucky lucky you!!

hope and love: Glad you feel that way.
swathi: Hehehe! As romantic as a dead asleep person and a fighting for own space evil person could get!
stone: Must give your wife a few more tips!
sudipta: I take the cake for laziness in a lot of things. But since I am the one hauling the heavy washing out of the machine and hanging it straight (with matching clips) to dry, I am conditioned to panic even in sleep.
pallavi: You know, his dreams are all so lofty, he would imagine himself sneezing in the cool climes of the Alps instead.
amitken: Is it really?
nish: But the Sania-Maria match got over in less than an hour. And it rained the night before at 5am. So I missed being awake.
ragnar: Welcome. Thank you, I am a fair person, you know. Always give everyone their due.
twilight fairy: Ah, that's sounds like an incentive. But will never work with people who grab a foot when you offer an inch.
rash: Have you tried prying the eyelids open and staring at the eyeballs?
khushee: :)
And I can only see .. thunder lightening and loads of rains. sigh.. pls send some of those clouds to the Kapital.
LOL.Anumita,I pity your hubby,,now that u know the secret of capturing the 'right'side of the bed. I wonder what mischief runs in thy mind,I wonder?
