The Wife Bought A New Nighty..
Sure! The Wife Bought a New Nighty is a short story by Indian author Ruskin Bond. The story is a light-hearted, humorous exploration of a married couple’s daily life, highlighting the relationship dynamics between the husband and wife.
In the story, the wife buys a new nightgown (referred to as a “nighty”), and her husband, who is narrating the tale, humorously recounts his reactions to her new purchase. The wife is excited about her new attire, but the husband, though fond of his wife, finds himself in a mild state of confusion or discomfort with the change, unable to fully express his feelings. The story deals with the small, often funny misunderstandings and moments of affection that characterize long-term relationships.
Ruskin Bond’s writing is typically filled with warmth, charm, and subtle humor, capturing the everyday quirks of life with his characteristic gentle tone.
