It’s been almost a year and my, sorry, our 1st marriage anniversary is due this month. Recently my friend Amit also completed one year of his married life. While Parimal, also a friend, is married for more then 2 ½ years and possesses a lovely baby girl. And finally Harit, again a friend, got engaged a few months back. Need not to say, we all are very good friends. (Though telling…)
After all these experiences and observations of Husbands and to-be Husbands at various stages of Husbandship, I find myself in a place to comment or rather describe a creature called HUSBAND. This might give you some consolation, if you are one of those breeds.
Husbands are supposed to be like dogs, faithful and loyal. They are supposed to fetch the words of their masters (ofcourse, wives) and operate accordingly. On not doing so, they can be punished. Punished emotionally, mentally and to be made feel guilty of. Occasionally, the dog gets a day out to visit the house of master’s relatives. Where he is supposed to perform all the tricks taught previously. On accomplishing those tricks faultlessly, it might get an award later on.
Husband is also like a fish, fish of an aquarium, which is there to enhance the look of drawing room. Aquarium (Home and Family) is its world and it is not allowed to think beyond that. A fish can move freely anywhere and everywhere at anytime, but not out of the aquarium. So they are totally free (upto some extend). The master often shows her fish to her friends to prove that her fish is more beautiful and tamed then theirs. Most important, a fish cannot speak or it has not been given a chance to. A fish must be deaf too?!!?? Thank GOD, if it is.
At later stages of life, Husband becomes like a pig. Fat, lazy and useless, spreading the dirt (advices) everywhere, though not required. They are pushed away all the time to other place. Most of the time, it roams uselessly, to useless places.
Hey, hey…wait, all you to-be husbands all over the world, don’t feel so depressed. To be a husband is not so very difficult, complicated or disappointing as I have described above. It’s just the funnier and the funkier aspect which can hardly be real. In fact, a husband is the most precious, fantastic and the best thing a lady gets. Atleast she thinks so…He is treated like a King (Shahenshah, is the word, a few of my friends use, though they have different reasons) and taken very good care of, all the times.
