WhatWhen Series - Episode 4 - All About Apache


What when you and the other half are stark opposites...๐Ÿค”

Weekend was finally there; & following a few mega stressful ones, I finally had some breathing space. I could definitely do with a generous amount of "me time," but there were a few things to do before that. 

As I approached the wardrobe, determined to sort the clothes out, I stared in disbelief...gasping at the image that stared back in equal horror.  The three sliding-door wardrobe fitted with full length mirrors seemed to have an affect no less than that of a magnifying glass; leaving no scope to hide, whatsoever!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

I mean I had just managed to lose some flab & here it was, back & how!!

Binging on crisps, chocolates, & ice creams had definitely helped cope with the stress. It definitely felt mmm...ohh so heavenly ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‡.  But damn!!  It was all out there now... The Ugly Truth (and it was no where as charming as the movie).  To put it in the nicest way, I resembled MoonFace minus all the cuteness... aaarghhh!!!๐Ÿ˜ก

As though that wasn't enough, focus shifted up vertically to find my scalp peeping through the thinnest patch of hair right above my forehead๐Ÿ˜จ. Was it hormones...? Or was it diet? ....oh...was it stress...?? Oh no...was it age?!!!!๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Just when my anxiety levels had begun to rise, HubbyBaby chirped "Wow, Apache is coming to India!"

"Apache!?  Is he still relevant? Why's he traveling to India anyways," I queried.

Having heard no response, I turned around for any obvious expression or gesture and indeed caught him looking all confused.  "What?? Who 'He'?" he asked.

'How did I expect this geek to know๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„' I thought, completely forgetting that it was him who had read out the news. "Apache Indian...that Pop singer... remember?"  I picked up the phone & played the popular "Boom Shack-A-Lak" followed by a less popular but more familiar "No Problem."๐Ÿ•บ

I knew he wouldn't recognize the former; however the Prabhu Deva number did trigger his memory, "oh yeah, I know this song, but is he really called that!?"


'Phew... would I have to explain it all...I personally didn't like his work but how does that matter...he was quite popular back then. Back in the...9teen...9Teeeeeeeeees....OMG.. I am indeed getting older' I thought & was beginning to cringe when HubbyBaby broke my train of thoughts again.


"So this is the Apache you know, huh?" he asked with a 'Good Lord what do I do with her' kinda look on his face!๐Ÿ™„

"Of course, ask anyone... that is the One & Only Apache....has he created some new music again??!!" I asked out of curiosity.

HubbyBaby literally did a facepalm as he turned the laptop around towards me, & I peered in to an article titled:

"IAF receives first AH-64E Apache attack helicopter"



Oh wow!!!  Seriously?! Now who was named after whom?! I thought.. of course, in my own private Zen; managing a sheepish grin externally. Hehe...

Any guesses as to what happened next?

Manufacturing & testing of a Chopper's fan blades, it's engineering & functioning, & of course the special attributes & abilities of this particular combat helicopter.  Yep yep, I got it all.

  As he went on & on, my mind did what it does best... kept wandering away to the pending tasks' list whilst switching to the  'awwww my brainy bear' mode every now & then. 

After all, being poles apart does have it's own perks as we seem to make up for each other's shortcomings๐Ÿ’•

Also, it indeed is a moment to celebrate as Apache now adds to the pride & valour of IAF.

Jai  Hind


P.S.  If I have left you wondering how old I am, then ask my husband who feels I act like a 13-year old..haha.  I am indeed enjoying my "me time" as you can see, & my brain is already nudging to zone out of the post as it chalks a 'fat to fit' plan & suggests seeking solutions for hair care from the Goddess of Our Era, Google Devi.  Ooohhh, & it says, "Vidya, for once, make my efforts count & execute them all !!!"๐Ÿ˜ณ
