The nuances of being married...


- You get pampered with manicure once in a while.

- Gifts on b'day and anniversary turn out to be better since they are utility items and not teddy bears and perfumes anymore!

- You get to gossip about MIL.

- Get wished on Women's Day whereas Rose Day and Valentines Day become a thing of the past.

- You start losing the remote war and your siblings say they are happier now!

- You need not convince anyone to travel with you anymore, there's always someone waiting for you at home!

- There's always a reliable person to take you back home when you're totally sloshed!!

- Ample lot of cribbing about work can be done without having to think of someone leaking it behind your back.

- You can shout at someone else for losing your tie/ office stationery/ or comb.

- You've got to keep an eye out on your own parents' emotions...

- Money matters!

- You can't be spotted at a Gynae's clinic for your regular check-up.

- Buying good-housekeeping becomes mandatory even if you've never gone beyond the first ten pages.

- People start assuming there'll always be something edible in the fridge...

- You don’t get busier, there are 100 things running on your mind all the time.

- You can read something like this and see yourself laughing rather than taking a pledge that you'd be different when you get married...

- And finally without having coloured your hair grey you are addressed as Aunty/ Uncle


This might hold true only if you have a dear husband/wife who also happens to be your best friend!! Thanks Ash for giving me the inspiration.
