b'day boy and the iPhone

It is his birthday today. And guess what i got him? Of course, the gadget that he has been eyeing for so long - the iPhone. So i paid through my nose to get him an unlocked 16GB (no less) iPhone off eBay. The things love makes you do - like spending a fortune on something i don't even care for. i mean, as long as i can talk and hear people on the phone, it would do. Which explains why i have the humblest model of Nokia. But then, if he wants it, i will get it. Gadgets don't turn me on.

Isn't it amusing how slowly the seconds seem to almost crawl when you are waiting for something? i stayed up till 12 to wish him. Keeping me company was Amitav Ghosh's "The hungry Tide". i waited and waited but the clock would not strike 12. i thought i would wake him at 11:30 or something. i was afraid i would doze off and find myself waking up in the morning. But i defeated both sleep and impatience and wished him at exactly 12 and handed him the iPhone. What happened after that is censored! Suffice to say that i am feeling sleepy in the middle of the day!

Happy birthday, honey.
