One Year of love! 

 

"Marriage is all about growing together and falling in love all over again, every single day."

After a marriage, three receptions and a honeymoon just before the first lockdown, we both began our life as husband and wife. We have practically lived with each other 24x7 for the past one year right through the COVID-19 pandemic. In the beginning of any marriage, couples have trouble in getting used to each other. But it is the love for one another which overpowers every other emotion. As days pass by, the wife gets habituated to the husband and vice versa.

Subconsciously, we are always caring for each other which reflects in small gestures every day. It is certainly not the roller coaster ride as our courtship days when there was an adrenaline rush quite often. Marriage comes with a sense of calmness that is best experienced in each other’s arms at the end of the day. It is not a bed of roses either, because there will be disagreements and arguments. Yet at the end of each fight, our love only grew stronger.

After marriage, we have certainly matured as individuals. We both moved to Delhi in January this year and we have set up our own small world in a new city. It was challenging but we made it. We miss our parents, a lot, and so do they. But we know that we have made them proud. Marriage has also gifted us the love of a bigger family which is a strong pillar of support in our life.

One year went past with many treasured memories - The shared meals, endless gazing at the full moon, crazy hours of working from home, night walks on the terrace, two hours of climb to reach the Surkanda Devi temple, the minutes of pure love in Kaudia forest, trip to Srinagar, sharing lemon tea at night, movies on laptop, cooking biryani together and simply breathing in the same air every minute. He continues to look at me with love brimming his eyes and my heart skips a beat every single time. I don’t think I can ever get used to this…

With our love growing each day, happy first anniversary to us!

When people say first year of marriage is hard, I tell them to live the second year in isolation with your spouse in a lockdown! First year of marriage was a breeze because of the pampering we received from both sets of parents. Later when career made us move to the capital of the country, we were literally on our own. Right from purchasing household items to getting them transported across cities, it was not easy. Finally, when we moved in to the house, which we made our home, the journey of challenges had only just begun. Although I was no stranger to cooking, I had never managed a house all on my own. For a woman, it can be quite daunting, terrifying indeed! Because it was no longer about my own hunger, there was another homo sapien who was equally hungry if not less. I remember the initial days when it was hard for me to manage office work and household chores. All my frustration unfortunately landed on my husband, who was already trying his best to cope with new set of responsibil...

Two Strangers… One Lockdown! {9} ‘I hope you like the coffee,’ said Ekaparnika with a smile. ‘It is perfect,’ I replied with a formal smile. Atharva had gone to buy groceries from the retail shop just outside the apartment complex. ‘How is your daughter doing?’ I asked just to know more about her family. ‘She is absolutely fine and very excited to have me around her for the past couple of days. Otherwise,  I don’t get to spend so much time with her.’ ‘Yeah… so who takes care of her in your absence?’ ‘Well, I stay with my mother and she is more than happy to keep her engaged throughout the day. In fact, my daughter does not miss me when her grandmother is around,’ she replied. She was indeed easy to talk to once I made up my mind to spend time with her. My day had begun with hectic workload and by the time it was evening, I was completely saturated. When I heard Ekaparnika’s voice in the living-room, I could no longer continue working. My curiosity ...

Episode 10 - The Paradise has a Heart

  ‘I travel a lot. My writing grows with each travel and it gets enhanced from all the experience that I gather,’ said Pradyuman coolly. ‘Well, then you might have to start looking for another job soon. Something which may not require you to travel. Otherwise your girlfriend will have other plans for future,’ he said with a snigger. Agnivesh took a jibe at Roja and it did not go down well with her. He was trying to portray as if she was not a very understanding girlfriend. Pradyuman was smart enough to understand his motive he was not going to gift silence to his adversary. ‘Oh you can be rest assured that it will not be required because she is extremely supportive of my career. And I have huge admiration for her work. Although we may be in different places, we are mature enough to handle long-distance relationship. Most of all, we trust each other completely,’ he said looking straight into Agnivesh’s eyes. ‘And the best thing about us is we don’t dictate decisions to each ...
