Just Married...............

Just a while ago while waiting outside a exam centre for my husband to return from his exam, a thought flashed this crazy lazy mind to share about how it feels to be “Just Married”.....Being married for 2 months now, I think at times....should I or do I really feel “Just Married”....

What’s this “Just Married” feeling...why am I sitting and writing about it...it is beautiful...what sort of feeling is it...Crazy mind felt it’s magical...why???

There have been times when I have wondered about the behaviors or the just married couples....felt it was filmy or even kind of weird... As it is true that you have to me in a customer’s shoe to understand the issue rightly...so is the case with this magical feeling...You have to be just married to enjoy the feelings of being “Just married”...

Now I am not sure how long is this period of “Just” married is valid.....but from the experience so far....I could say for certain that....As long as there is a beautiful romantic life flowing between you and your spouse, I think this period..”just” would flow forever...

Crazy lazy mind has felt shy many times while experiencing such feelings..however they have been so magical and beautiful that has made me come forward and share the experience........

What’s this “just married” feeling? May be this is what my friends used to describe to me as a “Spark” that flashes in a lover’s mind when he or she sees or even thinks about his or her life partner.....mine being arranged marriage I wondered many times...if this so called would get ignited just like that just after your marriage.....

and what now after marriage.....yesssssss..tha crazy lazy minds accepts the sparkology and whole heartedly describes self as a “Magical feeling that ignites your mind suddenly making your heart beat faster whenever you think or see or just when your life partner is beside you”....

why magical...as it is sudden and beautiful that one get to experience just after marriage....So here are some of crazy lazy mind’s “Just Married” feelings.......

First and formost...whenever your spouse is beside either talking to somebody or traveling with you....or even standing at a distance closer to you and doing something....your eyes crave to catch a full sight of your spouse or grab his/her attention towards self...how much ever you try to control ..the eyes would still flow into the direction where your spouse is ...and for sure with increased heart rate.....

Next when your spouse is out for work during the time of arrival..no matter what you are doing....or engaged with...be it watching even your favorite start on TV or talking to mom/very close pal over phone...your legs automatically tens to get pulled towards balcony and start waiting for his arrival......this was very filmy for crazy lazy mind before wedding but now after getting the mrs crown and experiencing such feelings in real it’s just getting crazier and crazier.......Just one minute beyond the expected time of arrival if your eyes fail to catch sight of his arrival...it’s time for the hands and fingers to swiftly pick up the phone and dial in the number to see where he is....

If you observe even deeper...during this whole waiting process...you are already waiting 10 mins before the expected time of arrival and meanwhile the way your eyes bounce back and forth between the road and the clock...and the way your mind gets irritated to hear any ring at your landline.....the whole feeling is simply awesome....lucky me to experience it and at the same time sorry to all my well wishers whose calls at times have driven me crazy...when they arrive just right at the time I used to wait for my husband to return home ;-)....

Next coming to the most important aspect...ie caring for each other.......uffff,,,,crazy mind wanted to cook real good food every day with varieties......does not matter you know cooking already or not....The “Just Married” feeling will automatically help you master the culinary art in no time.....

Now in case of Crazy lazy mind I was even luckier to have a friend by name joy ...who always spreads joy around everybody and me...and this time the joy came in disguise of a “Cookbook” ....What a wedding gift!!...thank you joy!! for it not only helped me in cooking some of my husband’s favorite recipes, also eased and increased the joy of cooking it me....

Firstly the “Just married” feeling itself is a great source of energy booster and secondly the small small compliments or the appreciations (for the food you cook) that you receive from your spouse just after you are married keeps you highly charged and motivated to cook more and more good food for your love....

not to be surprised...the “Just married” feeling does not spare your spouse with just small compliments or appreciations.....instead surprises you with special gifts from your spouse in return......

Crazy lazy mind went crazier stacking up it’s favorite chocolates everyday as return gifts........

Not to leave your stomach and taste buds....crazy lazy mind has some words of praise of them as well...who really show good patience “just after you are married” to wait calmly until your spouse returns from work and then get a taste of the food.....

It is magical for each one of us to not to feel hungry or even forget about hunger and wait no matter how long for you spouse to return from any work, join and then dine together....

"Just married? feeling also teaches each one some amount of discipline.....Although I was never trained under any hotel management programs, every time I server food to my husband crazy lazy mind used to try and arrange the dishes prior in a neat manner at the dining table well before time and try to make a good presentation........

As well you are very keen in keeping the ambience at home very clean and attractive just after your wedding life has started and thereafter wait for compliments from your spouse.

Moving on, before wedding crazy lazy mind used to complain about talking longer hours over the phone and also wonder what’s there to really talk to each other every day...but now.....as a “Just married” couple....craves to hear/update her husband every one hour over phone...isn’t this magical?????

Feeling little shy to express the next one but however can’t afford to miss the most significant “just married” couple feeling....Wherever you go wither by walk or travel in a vehicle.....as a “Just married” couple you would always wish to hold hands or lean on each other’s shoulder..that’s so beautiful and brings a truly bonded feeling amidst the couple.....so so...even when I lean on my husband’s shoulder during any travel the feeling that I get when he pats on my head simply makes crazy lazy mind jump even crazier.......

Lastly....for the “feminine attitude”....being “just married” feeling demands you to look or ask for compliments every time you dress up and also after your spouse tastes any food cooked by you...be it just a cup of coffee or even when you dress up to go out for a casual walk....see how crazily this “Just married” feeling could make one behave.......

Crazy lazy mind is really surprised for it is in the middle of such vibrant experience rendered by the “just married” shockwave........

What a feeling...feeli it and live each moment sharing loads and loads of happiness with each other....

Hope this crazy lazy mind has not bored you with such a long post...and most would agree to what I have experienced and shared so far.....if not at least I believe this serves as a very good reference for all the “just married” man as in give a hand in understanding what kind of “just married” feelings their spouse could experience and most importantly what they really would expect out of this “Just married” syndrome!!

Sure married life is a beautiful phase in each ones life!!

Wishing each one stumbling on this post a great and happy married life!!

Signing off for now............

Starting over again

...............thinking blinking thinking...wondering over and over...thinking what to do..where to start with and how to move on...so many thoughts in mind but nothing in action yet....why....has the mind become lazy again.....yeah..sounds so...but want to become effective as well...

thanks to economictimes for posting a very nice article.....that helped me resume back...hope soon the lazy mind becomes effective again...the article goes like this........applies at anytime in your life...

Your once-thriving career has hit a roadblock. Well, you're not alone. But with the right moves, it can be overcome. Sreeradha D Basu suggests how.

1) Look Within: Any reinvention requires reflection. "The fact that your career is stagnant means you're not doing all that you can do or could have done," says Ronesh Puri, MD of Executive Access.

2) Create New Flows: It's important to create new inflows and outflows, says Milind Sarwate, group CFO & CHRO, Marico. Inflows are capabilities that could be leveraged by the organisation. Outflows are roles that should no longer be played.

3) Learn to Unlearn: "Many times, the changing environment makes our old strengths irrelevant. However, we keep playing to them. This drains energy, while not creating value for the individual or the organisation," says Sarwate.

4) Analyse Competition: It's important to know what others are doing right. And judge where you may be going wrong. "There was a time when my career was completely stagnant. I studied the performers, played to my strengths, did things differently. It took time but I was back in the game," says banking executive S Lahiri.

5) Get a Mentor: Identify someone experienced and reliable outside the organisation who you can trust. "It should be someone who can help you focus, discipline you and show you the way," says Puri of Executive Access.


In the news paper there was a very good example cited under the section of learn to unlearn....that caught this lazy mind's attention and that is...

"Learn to re-invent yourself". For instance in the entertainment sector, the actors are continuously reinventing themselves and their character...

I would say that's a beautiful example...it did inspire me and made me think a lot...true that we are fan of lot many celebrities in the entertainment sector, but rarely we thought about the efforts behind such fantastic performances...

Very true that they re-invent themselves everytime with new character..and there goes behind lot of time and energy to learn unlearn and re-invent....

therefore have patience, learn, unlearn and enjoy re-inventing various characters hidden within self....

keep rocking never get lazy and stay behind!!

Cheers,

Akshatha
