Bombs Away: My first post

For years I have deliberated over writing a blog. It could be as simple as penning down my thoughts, nothing fancy or heavy, just give my mind that clarity it so often needed. Time obviously flew by and there was always something more important to do. Marriage happened (which I will write about later) and for the first time in 5 years I was taking a break from work. A conscious & sure decision. A lot of close friends discouraged me from doing it, "it will run your career", "what will you do staying at home", "you'll become a naggy housewife" , "The husband will lose respect", were some of the many bullets used to gun down my idea. Did it anyway and now that I am living that "break" , I know how badly I needed it. Anyone out there getting married and reading this, TAKE A BREAK. Your career isn't going anywhere and You have all life to work. But this time, these precious months after the wedding aren't coming back.

I was a brat before moving to my husband's home - didn't know how to cook to save my neck, did bare-minimum housework to get past mom's taunts.. and this break has changed all that. Marriage changes you, well in my case, it enhanced my skill-sets. I am learning cooking and single-handedly managing a household.

A friend recently told me , "you didnt grow up at all 16 years on-wards and then overnight, you've turned 28". And in the middle of all this "growing-up" I started to write my very own blog.

Like they say, Bombs Away!
