Thirteen years of togetherness.

Consider this - a girl who is opposed to arrange marriage and wants to find love someday. Like all other girls she too has a twinkle in her eye when she talks about her prince charming.

All her life she has seen her parents so blissfully married that it has set some kind of a benchmark for her. To surpass that seemed very farfetched.

When I first met him I knew we had connected on some level. When we got married, I realised that whether love or arranged it doesn't matter as long as there is respect and individuality. Love grows stronger as time passes and when kids come into picture, it makes life all worth it. I have understood that life is not a bed of Rose's all the time. Everyone has their own share of ups and downs, fights and chaos. To overcome all the hurdles which life throws and be there for each other is what takes you ahead in your marriage. They say when Life hands you lemons, make lemonade, and that's exactly what we have done. Marriage is a constant work in progress. I truly feel blessed to have shared this journey with you..my hubby of thirteen years who has stood besides me like a rock in all my struggles and lows.

You have not just surpassed my expectations but given me much more than that. Everybody's journey in life is different. Thanks to you to adorn ours with so much of love, respect, drama and companionship. I will always cherish the way you bring so much fun in our routines and make otherwise boring stuff, more interesting.

Cheers to the passed years and many more to come. To grow old together will be the most unromantic thing to say for some. But the glorious years ahead seem so promising that I cant wait to get there.

P.S -Happy Wedding Anniversary to my dearest ,17th November.

Is your emotional bandwidth taking a dip?

Dont we all occassionally need a break from the daily grind? We sometimes are so emotionally drained that we cannot handle anything more. We exercise, eat nutritious food, sleep for more than six hours and still feel exhausted. Is it because there is too much on the plate? So much is expected from you. Kids want to play with you, hubby wants to know where his socks have disappeared for the 23rd time, you have to decide what you want to wear for work, inlaws just called to know when you can spend time with them, boss wants to know if you can prove your mettle and that he has not made a mistake by hiring a woman who has two kids and a lot going on with her. So many decisions. Small or not, doesn't matter. The fact that so many people are dependent on you for all the answers can be sometimes overwhelming. When as friends, women talk and share, they expect to get support from each other. They share stories and experiences and ask- what do you think? Am I doing the right thing....

Dad flying to London, made history!

My dad is aviophobic and so when he reached London, I heaved a sigh of relief. My parents were visiting my kid brother who is put up in London since last four years. He had been asking them to visit him since he shifted there. However it always felt on dads deaf ears. My dad has become a little bit socially awkward since past couple of years. He wasn't always like that though. I mean yes, he never liked to travel a lot. His definition of travel meant a twenty minutes ride to my place to meet his granddaughters. Apart from these visits he makes a couple of rounds to the doctors office and once in a blue moon visits his relatives and friends after a lot of pestering from mum. My mum likes to travel a lot. She is ever so excited about exploring new places. So this time around too dad had made it very clear that as he is scared of flying he wont join mum on her visit to London. My mother had to remind him that British Airways will be taking care of the flying part and all he h...

Why drinking tea won't change your skin colour.

It's not a secret that in our Indian society people still look at dusky skin colour with much disdain. They will talk about how progressive they are but at the same time twitch their nose at anyone who do not conform to their standards of beauty and intellect. People still think drinking tea which is dark in colour might literally change their skin colour. So the more you drink tea the duskier you become. I cant decide who is more stupider - the people who are perpetuating this to be true or the people who dont drink tea in the fear of getting duskier. Nothing could be more outlandish than a beverage getting to decide who can be fair and who cannot be fair. Furthermore someone needs to tell the dogmatics that the colour of the skin is different because of the melanin in our body which has changed and evolved according to the climatic conditions and relocation of our ancestors for their survival. Just because one is dark coloured you cannot differentiate him/her. The only ...
