I wuvv the husband man
Two sets of families coming over for the Thanksgving weekend. With 3 bacchas. We are desperately trying to accessorise and oterwise "finish" the home decor by then. So major trip to IKEA happened today, but what I really love is Pier 1 Imports. The latter specialises in sort of "ethnic" home decor, sourced from around the world and I have picked up really interesing things - some apparently from India! A beautiful curved Tibetan mirror, a wrought iron and wood jaali door, add the Madhubani painting from Dilli haat and pata chitra. My place almost has the global traveller post modern look that I wanted. I have to do major cooking before they come as well. Thinking of turkey with the traditional trimmings ie. pumpkin pie and cranberry chutney for the kids!
No that is not the point. The point is that the husband man has diligently spent the entire evening putting a TV cabinet and a bathroom cabinet together. He has bought a electric powered tool and has hammered and screwed and assembled and opened up various furniture body parts all evening - I couldn't possibly plow through with such grim determination. While the wife woman is fiddling away at the computer.IKEA stores are great but never again! When in India you never imagine the hard hands on work you have to do in this country. Definitely there is a post in there somewhere...
So I will reward da man by embarrassing him excrutiatingly through this post...I wuvv you!!!

yes, yes, a post on how the indolent desi (especially the bhalo chhele bong) undergoes a forced transformation in the home of the free. aar by the way, aager comment-ta keta maraar jonne chhilo, and also to prove that icchhe korle 'pure' bangala-te kotha bola jai :D. But to be honest my thinking also basically takes place in english, and my bangala is of a much more changra variety than you might have thought from that 'shuddho' comment. tobe ha, porishkar, literary bangala bola ebong lekha enjoy kore, tobe majhhe moddhe.
Hehe I understand. labour is so cheap here that you hire a hand for everything. that is one reason IKEA is hesitating to set up shop here LOL. They have sourcing outfit here though.
Onc, When My uncle was washing his own car and was seen trimming and cleaning the courtyard his neighbour who was his junior at work was quite shocked." Arre sir, what are you doing". LOL.
We do most of our work ourselves back home. And I do enjoy doing these stuff myself. Like I had to fix the bracket and related paraphernalia for the curtains when i moved in last month. I have even set up a 8 foot Cable Disc antenna a long time back, right from scratch. I had to fix some 400+ screws and When I see the disc lying obsolete on our roof, It pains me.

NO,I assure you. And the man's (?) creativity has flagged. But the Great Duck claims to know, so if you asked him nicely...
