Colors of life

Come February and you are surrounded by the feeling of love. A month of love and romance. You can indeed feel love in the air, everywhere. For that one special day of celebrating love, famously known as Valentine’s day all over the world, you start preparing for it days oops weeks in advance. After all, out of the 365(Rest 364 days (oops 362 actually if you count birthdays and anniversaries), who cares?) days in a year we have got just one day to show our true love for the love of our lives. So we have got to create the right impression, right? And how. We have to go over the top to show the world how much we care for that special one in our life. I mean, what if we don’t do something special or noteworthy for each other and the world will know how much we love each other or rather don’t. OMG! Nop can’t take that risk now can I? I have to compete in the race of PDA or else I’m at the risk of being tagged as a loser in the game of love. Just imagine how everyone would feel if they foun...

So today is our engagement anniversary. Yeah our relationship turned five years old today. My mind wandered back in time and I started reminiscing about how it all began five years ago… It is still fresh and vivid in my mind as if it all happened just yesterday! The excitement, the chaos, the apprehension is forever etched in my memory. I realized then that I was about to experience a life changing event and that it was a turning point in my life which will change the course of direction I was going till now, forever!  It all started with my dad telling me casually, while in the car, that we are going to see a ‘boy’ who is from US and is in India currently on a short visit and might be in a hurry to marry and go back to US. For me, who was already so averse to going to US, and added to that fact rushing into a marriage with a complete stranger, it did not fly too well with me. So I was like “ Dad, please turn back the car. I’m not going anywhere and I’m least intere...

My first attempt at writing a poem for my husband on his birthday….   U came into my life like a knight in shining armor, And filled my life with happiness, laughter and a little grammar.. U r the man of my dreams and just like a flowing stream, U whisked me off my feet with a gentle scream.. U showed me the true meaning of love and unity, And made my dreams turn to reality.. With U every fight seemed sweet, Without U every night seemed so long.. U showered me with lovely gifts, And gave my heart a whooping lift.. Now its my turn to bestow U with a wonderful gift of love For U deserve the best and to U that much I owe.. I never fail to thank God for sending u in my life And giving me the honor of being your wife!

While I was taking a glance at all of my posts till date, I realized that most of my posts had one factor in common – my husband! Funny how my thoughts always steer towards him, subconsciously, even when the topic is as irrelevant to him as, for instance, shopping! Yet, he manages to take over my thoughts and posts some way or the other, indeliberately. It’s astonishing and surprising even to me and makes me wonder how and when did my world started revolving around him! Its mind-boggling, at the same time insightful, how your world revolves around your parents while growing up and once you are married the same world shifts center around your husband and finally the moment  you have children they become your entire world! It comes naturally to us, I suppose. Albeit, it doesn’t cease to amaze me how just four years of togetherness (including the courtship period) can make such an enormous impact in your life. It just seems like yesterday when I had first met him, started getting to ...
