The DH bought a lot of stuff from back home, all useful, all essential. However my favorite was this.
The DH maintains he took one look at the watch and thought immediately of me. I blushed beetroot red when I heard this. After 12 years of marriage, the only things that remind him of me are vegetables. Pearl onions remind him of the arachuvitta sambhar I make, beetroot and carrots remind him of cutlets and puff pastry sheets remind him of the vegetable puffs I whip up.
I floated on air all day and later that night as I was trying the watch on, I looked at the brand name. Not able to believe my eyes, I went looking for the box it came in to make sure I was reading it right.
The brand is called S-E-K-S-Y and yes, it is spelled exactly like that. I asked the DH if he had looked at the box before buying the watch. “Why would I? You’re not brand conscious. So it is not a Rolex or Longines, but it is a good watch” he argued. “I don’t care for brands” I replied “only it’s called Sexy. It’s a little weird.” I said. “Don’t pay any attention to that, no one’s going to want to know the brand name” he said, confidently.
Wouldn’t you know it, every person who has seen the watch wants to know the brand name including people at work. I have had to look at the watch and exclaim “Oh, look at the time, I have a meeting/appointment/call.” a lot in the past few days 
lol loved the brand. So brand names do matter na.
Brand names really don’t do much for me, I wear clothes that no one would recognize the brand for, one of my favorite watches is one I picked up for $15. I can happily tell people that they hv never heard of the brand name of things I am wearing but on this watch the brand name is pretty prominent on the dial so it becomes difficult to tell them that I don’t know the brand name. And saying “sexy” in response seems a little weird.
ha ha ha ha ha…Men I tell you, they never go into finer details!!! They don’t really know what matters to us the most
But all said & done the watch is real cool!!! S E K S Y and all
Oh the watch is really cool and I love it. Design wise and taste wise the DH absolutely got me what I love, but I am not surprised at all that he didn’t look at the brand name. He knows me well enough to know I wouldn’t care what it was called but the name was just so unusual that it called for a blog post
Luckily it is K instead of X.Your post brought a smile.
It is pronounced the same way whether it is a K or an X.
glad to have brought a smile to your face
hahahaha…hey the name reminds me of my ex-boss….his last name was ‘sexy’ too. And, he would always pronounce his name this way: I am xyz s-e-x-y leaving others wondering whether he is calling himself sexy or he is sexy by birth
Really, a person with that last name?? I am sure it must hv caused a lot of dropped jaws. Must have made for some fun introductions
Probably, the next time you should try “Sexy, the watch not me”
or shrug it off with a whatisinaname 
The latter, for sure. I go all red faced and tomatoey when I say “sexy”
But the point is, Meera that DH got you something. He could have returned enpty-handed no?
The DH’s gifts are do dhaari talwars, Sudha. I can’t refuse them yet accepting them is not without its pitfalls, either
