Exactly 6 months from the time I said Qubool when I was asked if I was ready to sacrifice my bachelorhood.
Here's the story of my evolution into another married man!

Month-1
* In-laws stared at me for hours.. perhaps to evaluate the extent of the damage they have caused to their daughter
* Suddenly there was an attack of wierd colours in my wardrobe - Pink, Green, Yellow, Red!! Gosh..
* And a sudden attack of wierd cosmetics.. People actually use what they show on TV!
* I have lost count of the number of dinner invitations I had to attend in this month. 2 Digenes per night was normal.
* Had a tough time explaining to people how and why I forgot inviting them for the wedding.

Month-2
* In-laws continued staring.
* I couldnt believe that I had to think twice before planning my weekend cricket!
* I must have visited almost every shopping mall/store in Bangalore.
* Now, there was another very interesting reason for me to come back home!
* Had my first fight with her. It was hillarious :)

Month-3
* In-laws gave up on staring. Obviously, because they werent around :)
* Shopping, movies and restaurant bills were now major items in my monthly balance sheets
* Travel costs tripled. Strange. No. of people increased only by 2!.
* Of course, all kinds of travel packing is completely outsourced now.
* Fought again.. Was funnier this time!

Month-4
* I didnt know it was so much fun to gift somebody something without too much of a reason.
* Suddenly realized that I am never alone! Never at all.. Good or bad?
* Slow transformation of taste buds - beginning to like her cooking.
* Couldnt help wonder how my clothes, socks, hand-kerchiefs, bedsheets, curtains were all absolutely clean!
* Now, I can actually invite people to my home!
* Fought again. Hell.. I have no idea why!

Month-5
* Was it just me or was she really getting beautiful by day??
* I could be black-mailed into not watching sports! Indeed!!
* Beginning to realize that women need to talk to remain alive. And eat to get energy to talk.
* I loved watching her talk..
* Fought again.. And this time the argument was not funny at all.
* I still ended up laughing like crazy at the end of it.

Month-6
* Now, I know her more than I know myself. She is so different from what I thought she'd be. And I am happier now that I married her.
* I am fine with somebody being with me all the time. I think I like it.
* For once, I am pampering someone else.
* Still thinking of ways to convince her that watching sports is better than just talking to each other :)
* I contribute to the colour in the wardrobe now!
* We dont fight as much. But we know exactly when we think we are about to fight.. and one of us smiles. Half the battle is over

For a change, somebody asked me if the effort to marry is worth it.. I couldnt help quoting Morpheus..
"Unfortunately nobody can be told what the matrix is.. You have to see it for yourself!"
