So I moved lock, stock and barrel to Singapore.. From chaos to perfectly manicured trees.I was not sure what to expect! Setting up house in theory is great..would it match up in reality? And to someone who is hardly domestic, hates housework
As I unpacked my suitcases,and our new home was jam-packed with cartons,Id often sit back and wonder what my new life would unfold. And I was amazed!
…..How excited I was getting a salad bowl and the serving spoons to go with it!
….. The pure delight in tasting sambhar after days of bread and butter!
…..the Ikea trips where I gazed in wonder when Ben and I sat on some hazaar sofas to find the ‘right sofa that felt right’
…..our first dosa experiment in the kitchen which was a disaster from a geometry point of view but thrilling none the less
….the excitement of me using my bright orangey placemats as well as my black and white ikkat placemats :D
…..the first time Ben and I cooked dinner and served our very first official guests!
….and how proud I was of Ben making the chappati atta !!
….for lack of knowing an English word,a fancy oil patram (vessel) that ive seen all the cooking giants use that made me so proud to own it!
I’m not saying I’ve turned into a domestic goddess.Now thAT would take a miracle!.Just discovering a new side of me

Karma kicked my ass!
I promised to revive this blog but laziness got the better of me .I am trying to remember why I named this blog whatever I did and I read my first post where I promised myself that I would write about how I became/am becoming me J Gosh….what all has happened since the last time I wrote!!..The unthinkable happened. I got married!
I always wondered if I would ever get married.I am not the girl who dreamt about the perfect wedding/dress…none of that!I also always told myself I would never go out of my way for a man like across cities/countries/continenets, give up my job…so much for my womens lib!I ended up doing JUST that. Come to think of it whatever views I had about marriage and about the man I would marry,if at all i did…the very opposite of it happened!!l ife is truly what happens to you when you are making all your grandiose plans… blah blah!!
Status now: married to someone who I knew from 9th grade!!( and I thought I would find him half way across the country/world…if I only knew this it would have saved a lot of energy!),quit my job in
New place, new friends ,need to find a new job, and a brand new husband.Karma surely kicked my ass!!!
