Another New Day



After completing exactly 5 months 20 odd days being married i feel Life has been fair enough.By the way dont we all remember "First Birthday,First gift,First kiss,first crush blah blah blah" well,i realised lately that my Firsts after wedding are fast disappearing and everything is falling into a routine,My first cooking senssion,my first shravanagauri vratam,my first festival after wedding,my first diwali,my first exp of being responsible for major decisions,they are fast becoming a part of memories,now its all the same everyday,cooking,festivals and being the decisionmaker and servant of the house at the same time:) But lot of firsts are still remaining,No worries,even they all vanish i will find something new all the time,i wont let this word Routine eat me alive,No way.

Sometimes i feel scared,Time is just rushing,or is it my life? even before i realise what all i did or have to finish for a day its gone,There is Another day and Another exprience and i feel rushed,i want to sit back and look at the life,my life,laidback,remembering good old days,smiling at the wonderful yesterdays and not working for a future but its not possible,Not at this stage,i just begin a new life,a new world,mine,a smallone,lot of new people whom i am trying to understand still,they are trying to accept me into their lifes too,and its been good till now,touchwood.

And i still have no second opinions about hubby being the best:) Or do i? well,at times i do threaten him that i will put an adv for a new husband material he says Go ahead:( thats when i realise i am stuck with him:) for lifetime,He is someone whom i want to share my life with,But,well,there are always If's and buts in life,isnt it?



I am a diehard romantic at heart,But i found the truth about hubby the hardway,The other day "Mausam suhana tha,thandi hawa chalrahi thi aur sageet ke saaz cheddi humne aur pati mahashai ko phone lagaya {Climate was beautiful,light was breeze making me feel good, and i just called up hubby with an idea}

Me "Darling,it feels so good today,lets have a candle light dinner tonight,what say?

Hubby: Oh whynot Ji,start lighting up the candles,i am on my way home,what did you cook by the way?
{all i wanted to do is to go out for a dinner}

The other day we were watching our wedding CD and he was very serious and grim looking at this particular scene where we both were laughing at something.

Me:Why are you looking so serious.

Hubby:I am not serious,I am Sad

Me:Why

Hubby:whynot? i am looking at the last day when i laughed somuch:( I lost my independence on 7th of May.2006:(

Huh,Men! ! !


Was in kitchen for an hour and in frustration i screamed "Why dont you help me here instead of watching that stupid newschannel"?
Hubby:But i did help you,dint i??
Oh yeah? in what way?

Hubby: I filled waterbottles and put them in fridge:D
@$#%$^$@ ---how would filling 2 waterbottles equals making daal chawal,bhindi and rasam? Go figure.

Life has been good,every new day brings in new smiles,new experiences and new challenges,I am bracing myself for all of it,I am enjoying it the way it is:)

Aalapna, from my heart, I rarely see such honesty. This is not to please you. Believe me, each and every word is honest and sincere.
Great sense of humour too.

Your textured background makes it hard to read. white text is the best.
Thanks for stopping by Aalapna. My regards to your husband.

Usha said...

You are right girl. The joy of life is composed of these small things and all the laughter that is shared.
Hope you had agreat deepavali.

illusions said...

This is really well written...it totally cracked me up, and probably explains why marriage scares me ever so much...

Dreamcatcher said...

Happy Diwali.
Must be a lot of fun to man the gun with relatives pouring in, the sweets/farsaan preparations, lighting etc.

Tell us how you scored !

Alapana said...

Gangadhar,thankyou,Yeah,i changed the title and the look,I always keep fiddling with these things,they reflect my mood:)

Monika,welcome here,and i loved your comment,sahi hain,Kuch khati kuch meethi,Aisi hain zindagi bhi,hain na:) and sure,i will welcome first's throughout my life,i dont giveup something i love so easily:) thankyou

Balaji :)

Alapana said...

Tulan,yeah,lot of first's yet to come, we both are travelling in the same baot i guess. I always add a blog which i read,but please dont stop writing,thats something which annoys me,grand entries and vanish soon,I have seen alot of them doing so,for me steady and slow wins a smile :) Most of my friends stpped blogging after getting married,i dont want to be in the same league,so i make t a point to write and blog hop whenever i feel like.thanku

Rauf,Its an honour to see you here.Thankyou verymuch for the words,i know you are not saying this to please me,i can make it out and i will take this best compliment about the words put in here,I have heard many of my blogfriends saying this,I donno anyother way except for being honest:) I will make sure to have while font when i write my next post.

Deepa,thankyou,by the way do u blog? i am unalbe to locate your profile.

Alapana said...

Justme,you are laughing at my plight!!! wait till you get married.

Stoneji...haanji,yeah tho ghar ghar ki kahani hain,saare mard ek jaise hote hain:D

ushaji,Little joys make a bundle of wonderful life,and i am trying to grab them all with my two hands and keep them with me forever.Yes,i had a nice diwali,how have you been.I am so sorry for being out of touch,will mail you soon.

Illusions,now thats a contradiction isnt it? you enjoyed it but still scared about marriage? waise woh tho suna hain na"shadi ki laddo khaye tho bhi pachthaye,na khaye tho bhi pachthaye"

Alapana said...

DC,yes,he knows about my blog,he is the one who approves my blog templates but never helps me out in putting it up:) most of his close friends read my blog. Yes darling,Men are all the same in most of the traits, all diversity is in women, thats why world is so colourful,dont you think so;p

Ashish,happy Diwali to you too,my phone was never off and i am equally angry with you,You were supposed to call me before leaving on vacation but you never did that:(

Alapana said...

GuNs
happy Diwali to you too.Relatives are never fun ,trust me on that:) specially when you are newly married and still in the learning process of cooking and managing a Home. Well,i always score the top post,never an average,never lost it till date;p Touchwood,i have a way with people.

Satish,i will change the fonts soon,how have u been,kotta jeevitham elaundi?

Alapana said...

Anumita,Experience speaks:) isnt it.How have you been lady,do you know something when i was decorating my house for this diwali i remembered your diwali pictures of last yr which you posted:) and i tried to do something similar:) how was your diwali this year.

Pratima,so you are back online?Life is strange na,two close friends living in the same city dont find time to talk to eachother,well,you can blame me for that but then life is such and i am being busy not to even crib about it.About lunch, well,Lets see. The one who made me write a blog is not blogging , dont you think thats unfair? start writing again girl, now atleast do that.

Tulan :)

"Sure ji, start lighting up the candles" LOLZ, nice post...btw my first time here :)

Saurabh Banerjee said...

Why this obsession with FIRSTS? I don't think counting life's events in terms of numbers is a good thing. When you start counting you stop living. Living too consciously you cannot live fully.

Prax said...

Guys will stay guys, I remember bringin' absolute rotten grocery when my mother asked so that she never asks me to do again.

Rejuvenative, Blogrollin' ya
