What do couples talk about?

Do you share office gossip with your spouse/partner? Is it a good idea to bring work related emotions to home? Apparently not, if you check here. We seem to be doing it all the time, talking about office that is, specially over tea in the evenings. Garam chai and taaza khabar. Simple incidents around the academic/non-academic activities at our workplace with a little bit of embellishments provide us with a lot of entertaining moments.

Student interviews, faculty meetings, teaching related interactions, research related interactions, there is so much human element to it and we are so involved in our office dealings that it is difficult to cut it off completely. That is the sit-com that we get to enjoy considering our TV is deeply involved in transmitting activities of pogo-land or cartoon network. There are dangers of telling details because one person is very aware of your actions and thoughts. In some sense you are held accountable. Also, the advice that you receive from the other may not be suited for your own personality. The last but the most dangerous one is that the receiver of transmissions from pogo/c-n is not a dedicated receiver, it also receives air-waves from us and quite capable of retransmitting without prior notice.
