The jolt happened when I reached the hotel in Brussels. The smart looking girl behind the counter welcomed me to their hotel. When I gave her my name and said that I have an online booking, she smiled and said, "Yes Sir, your room is ready. The keys are in your room. Room number 403. Madam has already checked in." I was taken aback, "Madam ? Which madam?" She smiled back, "Your wife Sir. Mrs. Mukherjea." My surprise wasn't over, "My wife ? I'm not married yet."
