Changing Faces of My Life

The many facets and ever changing nature of life around is most remarkable and needs to be appreciated with a happy heart.

The above may seem to be a very vague beginning to a blog but thats what has been happening to me over the past two months. It was just 10 months back that I was an unmarried woman, leading the life of more or less a teenager (although its been eons since I was in my teens!!), stepping out of the house much against my parents requests to stay in one place for a period of half an hour. Then came the month of May when I decided that it was the ideal time to get married, June I was engaged (hooked), months of long distance courtship went without much hitches, December I was married( booked) and by January I was cooked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess this is the pattern for almost all and sundry but ME.. No one, most importanly myself, imagined that I would go through what every other woman (at a marriageable age) goes through. But its all been fun and enjoyment. Not one day seems to replicate itself, despite the fact that I've been at home in Mumbai for most part of my time spent in this new city that buzzes with activity all around. Sometime I've felt that my life is like these movies, where life goes all around you and yet the person who is viewing this remains stationery. This is bound to change, no doubt about that and so I've decided ( I made the decision a long time back actually) that I am going to enjoy this as long as it lasts. For, who knows when I might yearn for my life as a home maker again!!!

But there is one thing that I miss alot.. CRICKET.. Its been my way of life for the past 10 years and to abruptly stop it seems very odd to me. I keep thinking about the games I've played and the ones that have been etched in mind forever and that keeps me going. Also frequent communications with my colleagues makes sure that I am not entirely out of that circle. I dont intend to let it go that easily but there comes a time for everyone when they have to choose and my time is now. Its a hard decision but I've taken it with an astute mind and I intend to stick with it.
