So I did what I should not have done at all... agreed to get cricket-ticket package for Cricket world cup 2011. Not only it took me 5 days, 12 calls and test of my patience to get the package from Direct TV, I went through the after effects of my decision. Here is the list of reasons why no wife should say Yes to get full subscription:
1: He can get some funny fashion ideas.
H: SERIOUSLY
2. He will become deaf-er (yes it is possible)
H: Oh the match is SO boring - India has almost won (Ban needed >100 runs in 5 overs). Let's go shopping!
A: hmmm haan (no other reaction) and continues to watch till the last ball
3. You will hear some very interesting Hindi- Cricket terms
A: Thats chauka - thats 'bijlee connection'
4. Alarms start to go off at 5:00am on weekends
H: plsss get up or stop snoozing this alarm
A: hmmm 2 more minutes plsssss
....
......
.........
Last but not the least, if you have to watch WC final without him (because he is busy partying in India with his/your friends) then you miss him even more....you realize that you actually miss those stupid fashion inspirations, early morning alarms, local language commentry, that macho balle balle jumping jack, your partner in crime/happiness.
