March 25 2011. Its been exactly 100 days since I got married. Did my life change? Well, I'd say yes. If I say no then I'd be cheating myself. Since change is the only constant thing in this world I'd not regret this change. To put it in a more positive way I can say I have adapted myself to the variations brought into my life after wedding. Before I jump onto the list of changes and amendments I made to myself let me confess that this is my first post after 4 months.
The first notable change I made in my life is start practicing the word "We" instead of "I". Any update I had to give while at home it had to be We. We finished dinner, we are watching a movie, we are planning to go out. It was initially tough but later on got used to it now. Don't ask me why the word We is not seen in this blog. This blog and this post is about changes in me not us.
The next thing was about sharing. Sharing has become an important part of my life after wedding. The things which I used to feel so trivial to talk about have also become points to share. I have learnt in these 100 days that the more you share the more you will make your partner happy. Initially I wasn't successful but as days went by I adjusted myself.
Food was never my priority and cooking was my least favorite work. Thanks to marriage, I don't have to cook anymore and I eat freshly made food everyday unlike old days when I used to cook and store food for couple of days.
The most important change I found in myself was spending less time online. I used to be online all the time when I'm at home. I'd attribute this change as being more responsible. Responsible for the person who has come all the way from India to USA with just one thought in mind that I will be there for her all the time. So, I had to cut down my times being online.The other changes which need to be mentioned are knowing about hospitals as Madhuri got sick in the first week of her arrival, where to buy stuff for home not room, and interior decoration and finally I've started to maintain accounts.
These 100 days were more of a adjusting period where I was trying to understand her and making her understand me. There were differences as they ought to be, since we were two different persons. With two persons living together, sharing everything there needs to be some compromises made and as I always say happily compromised is the highest achievement possible. Achieve it and you will be ever happy.
