Life Will Change

Life will change September 12, 2008
Everyone these days tell me that enjoy your time before you get married, most of the mare married people, and I don’t understand why they say like this. I believe that they are not happy as married otherwise why they would complain. I am excited and well prepared to take the new life.
I always used to think when enjoying someone else’s marriage. How this couple was feeling. Now it's coming to me and I will be sitting on the stage. I will be sitting on the ghodi. I will be the center of attraction. It will be my day. The one day in life when everyone close or far a friend or relative comes and congratulate the couple. More or less they come for their own enjoyment. It's pretty hard to go to India to get married. It was hard for the family members too. Parents are in India now and they are shocked, because they went there after 5.5 years. India has changed a lot in last 5 years. In India everyone I talk to ask me only one question where are you planning to go for honeymoon. They make such a big deal out of it. They want to know where I am going as I am coming from Canada, so they expect me to go somewhere out of India. Spend money and go for some luxury packaged tour. These days Indians go to Singapore, Malaysia, Goa, etc. they are not more interested in going to Shimla or Manali. Their lifestyle has changed and now it is more commercialized. Last week I called my friend in India and he is asking me about my cell phone. What phone do I use, if I have an Apple IPhone or not.
Anyway, life has changed but in India people still are after showoff. It's different in Toronto; no one cares who is doing what who has what. Really everyone is minding their own business, except Indians in Canada, because they are the same. They can never change.

Days go by and one day I will be getting married, the day will also go by and the life will continue. I will be little busier than I am now. More responsibilities and more fun, someone special in life, this is what everyone expects like me.
Everyday I talk to parents who went to India to do all the preparations for marriage. Ask them what have they done and what have they booked. Very excited, sometimes I wonder that the life has gone by really fast, and now these couple of weeks is not passing.

Yesterday I went to airport to drop didi and her family to fly to India. Slowly everyone is going to India, and next weekend I will be flying to India. At last my brother will fly just 2 days before the marriage. Today I got a call from IGI Airport, it was my family who went to received the didi’s family. I don’t know but I have this feeling, if something will happen. Something big is happening in life. I will be having a person in my life and she will be sharing everything with me. Till now I have lived my own life and did what I wanted to do. Now I think I will have to change a bit and adjust a bit according to her. I hope not a lot.
I can’t write more blog as I am not able to think anything right now. Rest will be written once I come back from India as a married person.
