Life Lessons I learnt from my Partner💕

Well the past year was a bliss and had its owns happy and sad moments but the lessons I learnt was massive. Im happy to share the following life lessons that everyone should know about either they are married or not.

1. Be yourself, the world will adjust - This is a very strong quote that frames his perspective towards life. I admire him because he is that person who doesn't care about what the world thinks rather gives importance to his mental sanity.

2. No Problem is Big Problem - He is a firm believer of this. His famous dialogue is, "Is this a problem?" To be honest this annoys me like hell. But when I think about the problem after whining about it for hours I genuinely feel this isn't as big as I thought it would be.

Some problem might be big but when we approach towards the solution of it rather than focussing towards the problem life gets bit easier.

3. Don't Overthink - Just my overthinking problem😂

4. Don't obsess over the things that has happened and focus on what's next - I really have a hard time doing it and trying hard now as well to focus on the next.

5. Mind your own business and don't advice anyone - This is an important lesson because I often end up telling people what to do but in reality they know it. The world can exist without my opinion is a strong lesson I learnt.

6. Work hard, Party hard - That's the famous quote of the IIM Bangalore guys which sounds cool.

7. Do what you love - He is a big time believer of this.

8. Dream big - I used to dream big when I was in final days of school and clg first year but sometime at the end of clg when few things dint workout the way I wanted I started believing I can do only a certain set of things and stopped dreaming big and thinking of doing big. But after I met him and seeing him achieve things right in front of my eyes made me believe again. No matter how many attempts or how long it takes you will get there eventually. So don't stop trying.

9. Don't care about others opinions - I don't know how he does this because it is really hard for me to adjust when someone advises as it offends me instantly and stays in my head hampering my mental peace.

10. Don't scream at people or get angry - Im kind of a short tempered person who gets offends easily and Im quite good at hiding it because I show it only to my close ones. Im trying to control it now.

11. Make your own life decisions - Don't let anyone say what you must do in life.

I make him sound like a saint but that's not true 100%. Sometimes he annoys me but that's how he is and I love him.

Importance of having your own space

This is a taboo topic in India. I stayed with my parents till 12th grade. Then I moved to college for the next 4 years. Even while I was in college I wasn't practically alone because I had room mates and the same thing happened after I joined work as I stayed in working women's hostel. Then covid happened and I got married during covid and moved to his parents place. Our own space there was our room. Then 10 months later we shifted to Bangalore for study and work reasons and it was the first time in my life that I got an entire space to myself. My husband got his own space inside his college (A single room). While I stayed with my parents my job was to just take care of myself, eat and study. When I moved to hostel I had to tackle my laundry as well. Same happened in working women's hostel but extra responsibility was to pay my rent, tackle my finances and travel. Cooking became an extra part of our schedules wherein we make dishes occasionally. Each and every step of this ...

Consumerism - Minimalism (Part - 2)

Well let's first understand this term consumerism. It means encouraging the consumption of goods and services as a never ending cycle. So in simple words we the people are consumers who will constantly be bombarded with ads promoting that we need certain things to increase our standard of living. What's wrong in increasing the standard of living? Let's be honest there's nothing wrong. It is good to get stuff that ease our lives like mixer and grind instead of the old ways of grinding spices, television for entertainment, mobile phone for communication, vehicle for travelling. So where does the problem arise? It arrises when we start buying more stuff than we actually need just because we saw a ad saying the existing one is not good. We will always find something better coming up in the market each day. It has become a way of life. Most of the time the products are purposefully made so fragile that we end up replacing them. Eg: The glass back on mobile phones are goo...

Assumptions about married women

That's me. And I prefer doing whatever I like be it going on trips or hitting the gym or doing my office work or cooking. 1. Cooking - Assumption that women must cook despite having busy careers. Dont get me wrong. Infact, I love trying out new dishes occasionally. But the phone call I had received from my relative the other day made me question this. They were constantly interested in what Im cooking or if I learnt to cook the dal gravy. I faced a similar incident at the gym. Our trainer asked me to cook more protein rich food for my husband and feed him regularly. Though meant in a humorous way, the underlying meaning kind of made me feel sad. The fact that nobody would say this to a husband made me question. Cooking is a life skill. It is a choice. We can always hire someone. We might develop interest in cooking once we start living on our own. We must also stop judging someone for their food choices. When I say I make protein pancakes or wheat semiya or masala oats...
