Bluetoothers congratulating de many couples that get married over de long Emancipation weekend. Shyam de Low Carbon man, de former NCN, now GRA, girl and de GINA girl was some who tied de knot. Brave people indeed. Getting “bonded” on Freedom day! E-magine de new husbands asking, “Honey, can I go out with the boys?” “Yes. When you finish cooking, washing the clothes and dishes and walking the dog”, the wives replied. “Will do”, the husbands reluctantly added.
Ah, I am just kidding. These things don’t happen to men, right. What? They do? I see. The world has changed, eh! Wives work while husbands work and do house-work. Equality. Yeah! Freedom! Well given what was said at Shyam reception, he shouldn’t have any problems with house-work. According to what Uncle Robert, de Bestman, seh and which was related by Uncle Bharrat, Shyam well “groom” fuh house-work.
He gat all de qualities. He humble. Always sober (not in an alcoholic sense). Never flustered. Always calm. Always neat. Oh shucks! Come to think about it, ah never see anybody that does do house-work with dem qualities! Ah. Knowing Shyam, he bring something different. He suh different that he surprise Robert in Poland when de two had to share accommodation while in Warsaw attending a high-profile Low Carbon conference.
Shyam empty he suitcase and line-up everything neat neat. Toothpaste separate from soap and cream and towel and shorts and vicks and tiger-balm. Robert was de opposite. He part o’ de room disorganise like de Opposition. He change and left everything right deh. Even he shorts. De calm and neat Shyam, not wanted to offend, do what he had to do in Robert absence. He pack up everything neat neat and line-up and fold up Robert stuff including shorts.
Robert left stunned. Not only at de now fully clean room, but because he couldn’t find vital bathroom essentials in time. Shyam pack in layers; layers of priority. Toiletries was at de bottom! Shyam really gat a knock fuh details. That explain he last name. And he really learn a lot from de Low Carbon thing too. He know how fuh keep he house budget low. No need fuh a maid. Is like he was “made” fuh it! What? Ah coming honey. Yeah yeah, ah know de house gat to wipe and de clothes fuh press. Ah gone. Hmmm!
