A guy, a girl and three weddings....


Heloooo... well... news for you all.... I GOT MARRIED (picture included) ..incase you are wondering why my nose loks sooo red.....its coz in bengali weddings there is the important ritual of application of sindhoor on the wife's forehead,...the amount of Sindhoor on the wife's nose indicates how much the husband would love her after marriage... in that sense, I think my husband will LOVE me with a Capital L-O-V-E.... I moved to Singapore with my Husband after that......what do I hear? tinkle tinkle tinkle....sound of the many hearts broken... sorry guys.. this gem's taken..:)..

To introduce my husband... he is Dev...the guy I mentioned in my previous blog...my "best friend"... when I wrote that....little did I know I was going to get married to him in three months from the time I wrote that blog....:).. but then life is all about twists and turns that sometimes leave you spellbound coz of how much better or worse they leave you.....My life definitely turned for the better...:D.....
In case you are wondering why there are "Three weddings" in the title... thats coz I got married not once, twice but thrice...:))))....once in the south indian way (I am a palakkad Iyer), then the bong way(He is a bengali) and then in the court (that's for the GOI),....talk about ironies...till February 2007 I did not want to get married even once..... and by April 2007, I got married thrice... as I said... life has its twists and turns...:)
Everyone who meets me now asks me one question ..."How is life after marriage?"...Well...the only way I can reply to them is....a big smile on my face that its GREAT!!! coz thats what they want to hear,.... in reality... its just like being in a relationship...you go around with your boyfriend... and you marry him , so he becomes your husband..I dont see too much of a difference.....except now in various forms that I fill in, I need to write my name as Mrs. Angel Barat...:)... and its a nice feeling..
The above is more pertinant to just the two of us...but then...In India, when you get married, it is not just marriage between two people... but also between two families.... and in that sense you now have two sets of parents...and I am not kidding ...but I got the best in-laws in the whole world...(and trust me I am not trying to score any brownie points here)....they are really great....
Thats the newly-married-couple-with-stars-in-their-eyes scenario AFTER marriage..... I should have written this earlier when we were actually getting things readied for the wedding...... it was CARPE DIEM baby.....will write about it in my next blog...

I leave you with a thought....Marriage is like jello....its colorful, quriky and sweet... some may like the quirks and some may not.... I LOVE JELLOOO....:)))
