The other day one of my friends asked me how it feels to be married. Hmmm...well I don’t know what to say to that usually. Is being married dreamy, romantic, fairy tale like experience where you just gaze into your hubby’s eyes and you are lost...getting dolled up, a perfect house, a beautiful kitchen and the likes! Or is it a harsh reality where life slaps you with a filmy saas inspired from Lalita Pawar of ye old times, where she continuously passes sarcastic comments about how light your trousseau was, and you are washing vessels, clothes and cleaning the house and singing a melodramatic song much like Nirupa Roy! Or maybe it is like the Ekta Kapoor Bahu brigade, always heavily made up, wearing heavily sequinned saris, where you are the sati-savitri who has to undergo all kinds of tests of sacrifice and surrender all that’s dear to you in order to prove your innocence but all this while neither you make up or hairdo would suffer.
Well if ask me it’s an amalgamation of all these and more, some days you would get frustrated with the mess that your house is in, with tensions revolving around your bai, picking up after your husband all the time, you would be dolled up at times and have everything in place but at other times you would be in your nightshirt with bleach stains and some holes, there would be moments where you would feel like you are slogging off to no fathomable end or reason, but at times your prince charming a.k.a. your husband dearest would surprise you with small but significant gestures that would make your day look like straight out of a fairy tale.
In all, married life is no different than the life before it that has its fairy tale moments, Ekta Kapoor moments & Nirupa Roy episodes too, but what makes it special is that there are more people now to share these moments with.
