I remember when we were dating I asked Mrs. B if she was religious. Her response was,
 
‘Well, I light aggarbatis (incense sticks) during Diwali.’ I managed to hold back and only let out a chuckle.
 
Now we arrive at the one day in a year that my wife is religious by her definition and we kick it off with a pooja (prayer ceremony) at our office. Unfortunately Mrs.B isn’t well versed in the bhajans and aartis (Hymns) that need to be sung during the ceremony and decided to scour the internet for them. A while later she passed the laptop to me, proud that she finally found the specific bhajans needed. Picking up the computer I inspected the downloads and discovered she had sourced BOTH of them from Indian Soaps! It’s like the Zee TV in her is creeping back up to the surface!
 
Like we need anymore drama in our lives!
 
Marriage Tip No 32:
Once you Zee, that’s all you See!
 
Welcome to our bright and colourful married life. Happy Diwali to one and all 🙂
