The joys of change

 After getting married, there are few pleasant changes that I have observed. I used to hate cooking till forced. And the magic happens! I shift to my new house in kanpur and things starts looking different. Responsibility have got new dimensions. New kind of decisions to be taken. What to cook for breakfast/ lunch / dinner? How to prepare things faster and better? Might seem trivial to many, but man, it takes a HELL lot of thinking. And now, surprises of surprises, I have actually started enjoying the process. And it helps that am a big foodie.
Another drastic change. I used to hate making my room tidy even if forced. Now it irritates me even if a single thing is out of place. I wonder how to certain things change so easily. Some things that we took for granted before marriage, we start realizing there importance only when we take responsibility in life. To some, these responsibilities come even before marriage, like those who when out to study. But to people like me, it was a task getting me out of Calcutta. It’s surprising how a new life can actually bring a few positive changes in you. And most importantly, it makes you realize the importance of everything you took for granted.
