Some things to ponder - Part 1

I am so thrilled... man.... I am resigning from my work next week and guess what? I am taking a break from work for some time... whew.. I need that....... been working continuously since college and now this break is a well needed one... Boy !! why do you think I am quitting..

I am getting married to put it very simply.. but wow, I am thrilled at the whole idea... Sid and I have waited for almost 9 months now, and 1 more to go....People are asking me if I am scared, am I losing my independence, new place, new people, how am i preparing myself so on and so forth...

I am not feeling anything different. May be this is a love marriage, I have known my m-i-l for long time.... but yes, at that time I knew her as a neighbor, but that does not change anything.... I am not scared for one thing, and for another, I am not losing my independence. I dont know why people (men and women) have this false notions and misconceptions about women losing identity post marriage. Trust me, it is all in you.

You can change your life as you want it to be. You are the captain of the ship and you can steer it as you want. Agreed, the wind needs to be favorable, but the sea can always not be smooth. We need to know how to overcome a rough tide dont we?

Am I quitting to be a home-maker? No.... I will take up a job once I am slightly outta this excitement... of course the excitement is never going to die down, I need to familiarize myself with the place.. long time since I visited Mumbai....(Yo.. That s where I am going)...

Am I jeopardizing my career post marriage? (People who say this raise your hands....) Folks grow up....lots of women have shot to fame after marriage....

Patience and understanding and trust are the key ingredients for a nicely baked married life.. You dont trust your partner, you lose out......

Just thought I could put forth my views.. Comments welcome... - DS.
