Shaadi ke side effects - from a woman’s point of view


It’s been quite some time that I started my blog but never got the time to write one. But today (in-between I have also got married) I thought of writing something.

So today after 3 years of marriage, I think I am experienced enough to write this – ‘shaadi ke side effects’ but from the fairer gender’s point of view.

Men usually get cold feet, when it comes to getting married… But what about women? Are they not feeling the same? The thought of leaving their house, their room and most importantly their freedom of speech and action (I am not against the years old tradition, but some where it’s we the people and more specifically the woman who creates a difficult situation for another woman.)

Not getting into the debate, I want to move to the more amusing part of getting married and its effects on our lives (mind you only women)

Late night parties
Men always crib that they lose their freedom of going out alone, boys night, late night parties and all…But do women ever get to do all such things (I mean, no one in today’s society stops you from going out, but working women are so self occupied that even if they want, still they can’t be themselves.)

 
You must have also experienced this… When your husband goes out with friends and you at home alone… You want to sleep but you won’t be able to sleep…You want to enjoy your food… But you won’t be able to… Because you don’t have want to eat alone and even you feeling sleepy, you won’t sleep because you waiting for your husband to come home safely…And once he’s home, without realizing the time, he will behave as if it’s just the evening. Will ask for maggi, tea, coffee… I mean wasn’t the food enough at the party?

Weekends
It’s weekend and you waking up on almost same time as weekdays (as the snooty maid is ringing the doorbell) whereas your husband gets to sleep more… A woman once up, can hardly sleep again (I guess it’s with every woman). Why can’t our husbands wake up early once and receive the honourable maid, while you are sleeping?

 

Guests
Why is that only a woman has to receive guests all the time? Why can’t men entertain them? You must have gone through this… You just have got one week off… Some relatives, friends have come over for lunch… Suddenly after lunch, you find your husband sleeping happily, while you are sitting with the guests… I mean only your husband has the right to have an afternoon nap?



Like this there are many more such little things that make you cringe at the present and happy when you think about your bachelorhood days….
