Apologies to my readers, for not being able to blog since four months as I was "newly married" (u r allowed to wink or make suggestive faces)
As unmarried, I used to think, that those girl friends of mine who are suddenly so busy after their marriage are nothing but "Pretentious" while I can still make time to call back/wish bdays/ or reply to emails given a 7 to 3 job 5 days a week!!! But forreal you have no idea how extremely busy you get after marriage...u r not really creating wonders or fulfilling any deadlines...yet u r busy!! ill tell u how.
1. Given a joint family set up like mine, u r conversing a lot..., gossiping, making fun of ppl, discussing past, present, future.....u end up talking endlessly skipping n jumping from topics to topics....its like a kitty party on daily basis.
2. Then if you have a husband like mine, you will be double dating with all his married/engaged friends coz apparently they are all dieing to meet "the wife". couples outings are fun but can be very stresssfull. (I shall dedicate a seperate blog post on that topic)
3. Untill I got married I dint know of how much dirty laundry a person could produce given a weeks time--- enormous is the answer!!! Most of this time I was busy doing laundry-folding it-and arranging it in our huge wardrobe and impressing my husband with my organizing skills (Dont judge- I get happiness out of such lil accomplishments). And also patiently making my husband understand that the laundry bag is just one foot away from where he tossed his clothes on the floor.
4. Then for a month, when my mom in law was out of town I even cooked, I was the kitchen queen...and it came as a surprise to even me that am a pretty kick ass cook (except for the "stone-hard-gulab-jamun" incident)
5. Throug my journey, I even started watching TV, specifically the saas-bahu serials. I found logic in them, I discovered I was a fool having missed all this drama, infact at a point I even empathized/sympathized with the characters....(I would seriously worry over how she can wear that saree, make up n all that jewellery and go to bed each night while I could not even get used to the new pillow.. given 4 months time!!!)
Thing with "newly married" is, theres always something new to learn... something old to unlearn. Overall, it was a fine begining to my Happily Ever After...
