Total Atyachaar

It was a weekend... and somewhere into the mid of the second month after marriage.

Dheet, the husband, was enjoying his videogame while his wife Rondi was hanging clothes outside to dry in the Sun. And:

The very next day:

And the next day:

Rondi seems to have had enough. She is hellbent now. And... the next day:

Dheet is tired of seeing her cry. So, he decides he'll get up and do it the moment she asks him. He won't make her say it so many times. And so, the next day:

He's sick of this thing now. So, he just does it the next day without her needing to remind him. And then:

God! This has become tough for Dheet now. No matter what he does, Rondi keeps crying. He decides he'll give another go. He will do it properly this time. And so:

WTF!!! ^$%$&*@#&*@

Dheet is pissed off now. He is doing everything... and still, he's been made to feel guilty. The next day, he decides to do the damn thing again... and not talk about it. 

He does as planned. Rondi sees this... and:

...and no, am not speaking from personal experience

Expressions Depressions

I have a problem.

I watch a lot of movies in theaters. But that is of course not the problem.

The problem is - I don’t know what face to put while coming out of the movie hall. I have tabulated my situations below:

Situation	I Found the Movie	Thoughts that Were Going on in My Head	Expression on My Face
1	Good	I liked the movie. But what if others didn’t? If I smile and move around, will people think I am below average intelligence? …and so much below that I ended up liking something like that? Shit – I don’t have to make a fool of myself being happy about watching something others may not have liked.	Stupid + Giggling (Balancing my happiness about watching the movie with the intention to not look like a fool to have liked the movie no one else did.)
2	Average	The movie was ok-ok. Just about a one-time watch maybe. But… If I show happiness, half of the people will find me crazy… …and If I show sadness, the other half may develop perceptions. I don’t want either. I could try keeping a normal face.	Stupid + Trying to put a poker face (Pretending to be normal after watching a normal movie… when in reality I feel just as normal I am trying to pretend to be. So, the pretending part makes me look stupid now.)
3	Crap	The movie was shit. I am sure all of us realize that we have been fooled. Now where do we go from here? And how do we face each other? What reaction to give? What expression to carry on face?  Smiling like ‘oops-I-too-got-fooled-watching-this-piece-of-shit-movie’ would amount to absolute stupidity. Better to keep the head lowered and walk off. Do not make eye contact with anyone—not even your partner.	Absolutely Stupid (Scared of making eye contact with people… just trying to find the way out of the hall with head lowered and eyes on the ground.)
4	Crap…  BUT Liked by Others (and I know that by the laughter and the overall atmosphere)	Why were they laughing throughout the movie? Why do they seem so happy? Did I miss something? Why am I not on the same page? Not again… I am out of place!	Stupid (Because I am trying to look cool and gel into the crowd… when I feel like a fool to have watched something like that.)

So, no matter how good, bad, or average a movie I watch, I come out of the hall looking like a stupid. 

And that’s my problem.
