I have no subject matter expertise on “ Married Life ”, but when a close friend with considerable amount of married life experience, puts a mail in response to chain that was going around, it did have a good effect. I do not know how will my blog help his cause but surely this needs a mention. Thank you “Juice Baron”…..Below is the mail: I have few things to say to all innocent wives out there who are so tired managing and training their respective husbands: 1. Don't treat us like a project and try to fix us. You girls knew what you were getting into. 2. In an argument we use logic and you use emotions as weapon. You girls start crying or get emotional (ex: I left my family for U) the moment you know you are reaching nowhere. If we try to put forward our point we are bullies and if we lose we are weak. 3. Kindly do not ask us what we are thinking, the answer would be nothing and believe us “it’s true". We can spend the whole day doing nothing like how you wives can spend...

Yes it happened!!! No I am not talking about my Love life here. It is just a feel good factor that all my friends replied to my crazy mail after a really long time. And that feel was a short lived one... as my main aim and agenda was completely lost after the 3rd or 4th mail and then on the subject matter went on to surprise few of them, troubled some, excited few of them. And ONE in particular had a joy ride of sorts. Husband, Wife & Married life ; precisely that was the matter going around in mails, currently the minority in the group "Bachelors" enjoyed it well while the majority "Married" ones were exchanging their experiences so far. The ONE lady who is "on the cusp" of entering the world of marital bliss, was the one who was having the joy ride. Initially it started out as a "KT" for this lady and she was welcomed and inducted into the world of Marriage and she mentally prepared herself by saying "I am prepared for the disaster n...

In a car, where four people can fit in comfortably and when only three people are travelling there will be an empty seat; that is common sense. When that very empty seat is a subject of discussion then it is nonsense. The three people in the car are me and my parents and the discussion is about my parents going to be daughter in law. Usually I do not like my dad sitting in the front seat because he gets a little tensed with the way I drive. Personally, I believe that when you have a person who knows how to drive in the car, they just cannot handle the way the driver is handling the car. Be it me driving or my dad, it is like, the way I do it is the best way, until unless something goes wrong. So the above being the situation, I at times ask him to sit back royally in the back seat and enjoy the ride. Now they (Mom & Dad) take up this situation to the best use and have their little fun of their own. Now as they know that I already have a “ Daughter ”, they start of saying “how m...

Long back, one of my friends asked me WHY I write. Immediately I gave him an answer through one more blog . Now someone asked HOW do I write? Felt that was a valid enough question; need to answer that for myself first, because I am not known to talk in English (apart from official communication) so much nor am I a fluent orator in that language. So equipped with the elementary knowledge in English and with an outdated education base I have, how come I end up surprising people. After a good analysis, the only reason I could find out is that, my brain thinks in Telugu. As strange as it might sound, that is the process that happens with me. Whenever I set out to write something, initially I narrate it to myself in Telugu and then sit down and collect words in English for it. This might sound like a tedious process but I am working on more effective methods to write. My basic idea of fun starts with Telugu, a language that I am more used to and also being a language that is more captiva...
