Wishing you all a very happy new year!! I am back from Delhi and back to Bangalore too. Meeting A after one and a half month. So long!! So, as this new year started,, I went on an introspection mode. At the end of all the thinking, I wasn't really sure if I made a good wife. Let me elaborate.
1. I can't cook. I did make an effort to try and learn. I thought once I get a hang of it, I might enjoy. But I failed miserably. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach! Whoever said that, must be a man who liked good food. Just the occasional cup of tea should help me take baby steps towards A's heart.
2. I don't like dressing up or make up. I feel going to the salon is a pain. On most days, I look as if I need a waxing or facial immediately. My face doesn't glow or radiate.
3. If I thought I could be a good daughter-in-law first and then a good wife later, I was naive. I always forget to touch elder's feet. I hardly know any of their customs and put on a blank face during most ceremonies or pujas.
4. I am not great at making a conversation. Actually, I am quite ok and can strike a decent conversation. But A is so calm that I eventually run out of all topics. Both of us ending up watching something on the TV. It's quite a miracle that we at least agree on the same channel.
5.I don't keep the house in pristine clean state. It is always ALWAYS dirty. The excuse that I give is that I come to Bangalore for such short period that I don't want to put efforts. Besides, what's the point? It is sure to get dirty again.
So, I might have failed in most aspects. But I get brownie points for keeping A happy. A himself told ( in a rare moment of expressing love) that he is more happy and contented after marriage. Yayy to that.
This year, I will work on a few aspects. I am amazed at how my mom does everything. Am I really her daughter? Tough to believe considering how lazy I am.
This year's resolution: I won't be lazy! I will make an effort towards the above mentioned points.
So what are your resolutions for this year?? Hope you haven't already broken them :)
