Of Dard-e Disco and 4 year olds

Of course, Om Shanti Om and SRK have been in the news for SRK's abs and more.
I have been watching rushes of OSO , with the detached involvement of a channel surfer- at breakfast and other meals in front of the TV.
With my friend's 4 year old- its been a lot more, I figured.
While driving for lunch, the cute li'il fellow, decided to quiz me.
Bemusedly, I decided to enlighten the kid.
So I said , " Go on".
He says, " Do you know my favourite song?".
I said , " No Sam - you tell me".
He says, " will you sing it, if I tell you?"
Thinking, it must be some popular ad jingle or Cartoon n/w theme song, I urged him to go on.
He said, " Dard-e Disco!"
Me, "What?", thinking I heard him wrong, never heard of '...Disco' something.
He latched on to it, and chuckled, "YOU DONT KNOW- DARD E DISCO!"
After expressing his shock and joy that, I " don't know anything", he proceeded to sing - " Woh haseena woh neelam pari, kar gayi kaisi jadoogari, Dil me mere hai dard-e disco".
He had me repeat after him, until he was rest assured that I had learnt the 2 lines.

So then, I saw the song on TV yesterday for a whole 2 mins and was surprised at the kid's accuracy.

Sow sure has an absorbent sponge for a son.

so... I am back from my vacation

Tra..la..la..la!
My birthday gift was 5 days in Thailand, and what a gift it was...
Of course, we still argued every 150 seconds on the last day of the trip and it was allowed, because, my birthday was technically just over.
And of course, my husband proved,to be just as easily irritable as mom says, dad is.
But of course, this doesn't take away from him the pretty garnet ring and other sweet things he got me.
He is such a stickler for airport rules, in a weirdly fanatical manner.
"you are allowed only one piece of cabin baggage-so shove your handbag inside your backpack."
Other people who lug around some 6 shopping bags are just rule breakers, who say "Sawatdee Khaa" and flout airline rules. That the airline doesn't mind, as this is a relatively empty weekday late night flight, hardly matters.
Sheesh!
Also, the husband shall not experiment with Thai food, cos we burnt our very intestines one day, with authentic Thai food(its all the wife's fault - you know).
Husband will only eat chicken variations from bloody KFC (no offence, but KFC... oh please)or Mac D's - the wife on the other hand can experiment with other variations of Thai food, because she is a " retarded culture soaking extremist", who wants to drown her self in "local stuff", all the time. And oh , did we mention, how difficult it is find to find vegetarian Thai food in pork, sharkfin,seafood, beef loving Thai Land! But hell, the extremist wife will seek the very hard to get things.
