The First Challenge

Hmmmm….here comes the first challenge..the Pre-marital woes.

Anyway, now that I have been told to write, I will try to be as subtle and sympathetic as I can be. Ok ok, for those of you who know me, I know it’s hard for you to gulp, but let me tell you, I AM Compassionate (at times…hehe).

Marriage, the scariest word, synonymous to ‘balidaan’, ‘kurbani’, ‘umar kaid’, blah blah, was never meant for me, I thought. I always keep asking my married friends, how does it feel being “MARRIED”? But I could never get a convincing answer. Some say it’s for societal acceptance, some say it’s about companionship. I think nobody actually knows and neither do I. I always keep scaring people by saying “Welcome to Hell Honey!”

Well hell or heaven I don’t know. All I know is that I never thought much about it. And that is exactly why writing this blog is a challenge for me. Whole story in short, two people talking on phone for about an hour, then meeting for about half an hour and then badhai ho…badhai ho…. Voila….its done!!

You know, I have a theory for different stages of marriage:

Stage 1: Hooked: when that badhai ho badhai ho is done

Stage 2: Booked: roka/engagement

Stage 3: Cooked: Wedding

So now before I get ‘cooked’ the time is great and tiring sometimes (because of the never ending shopping). Exploring, understanding and judging each other is exciting and fun. Hope the same fun time continues and we enjoy our lives to the fullest….even after getting married…
