We beat Pakistan...........later beating world champions Sri Lanka in finals to get the most prestigious and awaited world back in India after a long long wait of 27 years.

Second stage and second half of life.

Life changes more for a woman then her man , post marriage.

After 5 years of dating Sandy (hubby) our relation had witnessed best times as well as worst times.We managed to stick together through all the ups and downs.

So when THE day of our wedding was approaching, pressure started building up.Though Brahmins, we two have been brought up in absolutely two different environments.

Where Sandy hails from karnataka I come from Maharashtra, then there are traditional differences not as much as you must have read in Chetan Bhagat's "Two States" but to some extend yes.

When marital customs demanded that both families stayed on the same page; it was getting way to beyond our control and the expectations started growing.

There were times when I gave up and Sandy would boost me and say its just a bend, we will make it through this tough time with the blessings of our parents and near and dear ones.

The marriage went on smoothly, and I was very warmly welcomed at my "new home"

The customs which I thought were hard to learn,not my types I have owned them very proudly.

One year after our marriage, where ever there is a family get together all the relatives gather and they are no longer strangers they are my own people, without whom, any person would be incomplete.

I really think the decision of marriage and its effects are hard on both bride and groom .

"Marriages change the entire life of a girl and a bit of a boys life."

Me thinks,Women go not only through pre marital JITTERS but through a post marital PLUNGE.

In any case if you have a loving, caring, compassionate hubby like mine :)

The entire journey is awesome!!!

Tip :"If something is worth doing, it is worth doing well''

Just Be Yourself....

Back in school and college many of my friends described me very correctly ,I was just another synonym for ball point pen, drumstick etc etc.
So One fine day I decided to get rid of my skinny look put myself through a exercise regime to change my physical appearance
Then, the moment I declared my intentions, I was flooded by advices.

why don't you eat four times a day??
You know you must eat butter..
start eating boiled potatoes every morning empty stomach
some were insisting on drinking beer everyday..:)

Then I started working out in gym and may be the good lord heard me, had I been more specific as to where I wanted to put on weight..I would have saved my self a lot of trouble
Anyway now this tummy of mine won’t stop growing..nope I am not pregnant..
All my life i had waited to be the one with chubby cheeks, plump kind and now people have been bugging me as to what is wrong with me. Soon the whole scenario changed.
The same people who would make fun of me started instructing “Control your diet, work out more, this is enough don't even put on half a kg now.”
Now that I have put on I actually do think twice before eating something sweet, junk, heavy or more in quantity.
Against all the odds..I wonder has that changed my friends outlook towards me??Has my family stopped caring for me any more??
They loved me back then when i was fragile and still love me with my balloon like tummy

So who cares..Nothing bothers me anymore..I just love being myself :)
So must you..dear friends all that matters is internal beauty ..everything else is just transitory 
