Things I would do for the woman I love...
Small gestures can go a long way in revealing how much a man loves his woman. Smita Roy finds out just how
It isn't necessary to flatter your woman with dainty flowers and flashy gifts. Sometimes, there are mundane and regular dayto-day gestures which speak a lot louder than such gaieties and portray your love. Affectionate ways say a thousand words. Here's what Mumbai's celebrity brigade speak about their li'l gestures of affection.
Don't tell lies. Be overtly alert about noticing her new dress before she points it out! Be neat and clean (women hate shabbiness) Play scrabble even when I'm dead tired and sleepy. Be vocal about my emotions. That helps build the bond better. Take time off to go for a holiday; especially when it's surprising her with one.
Make the morning tea or cook her a meal.
Kiss her in the morning to wake her up.
Take her out on a long drive.
Go have chai at a dhaba when it rains.
Have paani-puri from a roadside thela.
Introduce her to my parents and encourage their bonding.
Take her out shopping (which I really don't like if she wants it then she gets it)
I would like to take her to Kashmir not just to show the beautiful valleys but to show her my school and the place where I grew up. Share the childhood memories with her.
Gift a single stem of rose without any special occasion. Anyways, occasions become special only when you make them so...
I am the first one to rise and most of the times I get her breakfast in bed. Sometimes, if time permits me to get back home soon, also make the dinner.
Keep the house clean.
Watch a lot of chickflicks together.
Take care of the dogs.
I have changed my habit of reading the newspaper with the first cup of tea in the morning. I sit and talk to her instead.
When I'm not shooting, I help her with the cooking.
Take her shopping for groceries and other domestic essentials.
Sometimes while coming back home, if I spot a good bouquet I buy it and gift it to her coupled with some chocolates.
I sing all the possible romantic songs for her almost everyday, which she says she's bored of, but I'm sure she loves it!
Whenever I get some free time, I call her on the sets at pack-up time or maybe for a quick lunch break.
Surprise her by coming home early without her knowledge.
Take her wherever she wants.
Make quick snacks like sausages and salami when I'm home on an off.
Watch films together, especially the romantic comedies which she simply loves.
I try and do my own work at home and see to it that I don't really bother her much. Although sometimes I tend to be forgetful about where I keep my things; I am working on getting better at remembering those.
In spite of hailing from different religions, we celebrate each other's festivals and attend all the religious functions together be it from her side or my side of the family.
Bonding with her family has been smooth and nice since the day they gave a 'Go' to our relation.
The day never ends without saying 'I Love You' to her!
