Diaries of a newly wed!


Look for a poem involving the moon, the stars, & the roses wound up with complicated ways of saying "Te amo," and you shall be disappointed not because I won't use them but just not in the most romantic way. I did do something quite cheesy here though! Pen this down on my one month anniversary :)

Let me start with 'The Roses,' and this is a true story. I hate roses! except the ones that grow in New Zealand and the ones that he sent me as a surprise ... I blushed like any bride-to-be would.

The moon, I've always liked this Mr. Moon more for weird reasons and less for matters of the heart but the one time I was caught sitting under the moonlight sipping on my glass of wine eating some good food in the courtyard of an Ivy covered bungalow with Seven I said my first "Te Amo" silently to myself because at that point thats what mattered ... did I or didn't I?

The Stars, I can't believe I was quoted as well on a very public forum but after going through the tedious task of being the "tie e" of the knot, Seven was going to point out to an inspirational couple residing in their celestial abode. By god I would've definitely said my prayers if it weren't for the sun shining nice and bright in our faces. Lo and behold, that's when I realised my marital life commenced in full swing because ... abhi se din mein taare dikha raha hain! The boggled me couldn't keep that to herself and said it loud and clear to a larger audience!

Along with throwing rice grains portraying the beginning of our marriage, friends and foes threw in a bunch of advice too! Be patient, look nice everyday in the evening for when he comes home, cook really well, pray everyday for his well being, be patient, keep the house clean, sort out the visa issues, be patient :)

I don't know if I do the right things, and I don't know if he has a checklist as well but he brings a smile to my face when he gets me my special pink vaseline (rosy lips), when he gets me my mini Baileys, & when he whips out some awesome prawn curry - mind you each of these were surprises. I only hope I do the same to him when I hug him first thing in the morning & when he comes home, when I try hard to cook something nice for him, & when I sing "I am sexy and I know it" for him!

Seven, you caught me drooling & snoring in my sleep, you saw me cook real bad, I shared your toothbrush & confessed I couldn't do without the mug! Here's to more such embarrassing moments and unravelling the crazy us to each other :) Bring it on!

End of an era!

    bhajagovindaM bhajagovindaM govindaM bhajamuuDhamate . saMpraapte sannihite kaale nahi nahi rakshati DukRiJNkaraNe This was a song I heard, playing on the tape recorder, every single day for the years that I lived with Ammamma. I never bothered understanding the meaning but listening to it now, I know how appropriate it is to her approach to life as she grew older.  Visiting Ammamma in July       At 108, she always had the brightest smile and sense of humour to try and keep an incoherent conversation alive with kids, grandkids, great grandkids & great-great grandkids. All she enjoyed even as she approached her century was prayers, watching the bustling street of Kingsway, a hello to her neighbours and the once in a while indulging herself in a piece of chocolate. Her food and other needs were super minimal. She lived by herself and on her terms. I won't go into the horrors of how adamant at times but instead... My most memorable moments with her wer...

Milestones

We measure our lives based on these, we are guided by these, & we change with these sometimes. Your first steps, your first words, then for the longest duration in between its about how much you scored, how many you scored or how much you made for your self and your next generation but there comes a time when you truly start living for yourself. My dad turned 60 a few weeks ago and so I promptly tucked my son into my arms and braved the long journey to India with him alone. I've been fortunate to travel back and forth to India once every 6 months from the time I moved to the US considering most NRIs are known for their rather infrequent visits because of visa issues and sometimes their personal preference. Me, I am a sucker to go back every 2 months if I could. Hopefully in the long run I don't have to do this and will move back permanently. Friends and family say that will change with time. This trip was very important to me. I wanted to be there to see my dad turn 60...
