IGI, GIA, HRD to KHAKHRA, THEPLAS, CHOLE PURI While trying to make round parathas, a scene from ' Bend it like Beckhem' crossed my mind...though I cant make round rotis mumma, I can kick round footballs....and I said to myself..yeah, though I cant make perfect round parathas, I can tell a perfect round diamond and grade it too. Life has changed but I haven't. The twist and turns, the blush of a newly wed, the world of new family members, a completely different life...is there for me to live. There are times when I pinch myself to realize I am married. There are times when I feel wow with a compliment on something I cooked. There are times when I sit and count every minute awaiting his return from work. And then there are times, I wish to rush back to life as it was..... God in his strange way has has brought a bouquet of people, relations and things in my life. Sometimes they do get handsfull!!! However, most of times its a silent whisper of a thank you prayer I learned long ago in school. When I sit and observe the new traditions, mingle with the melange of new people adn try to absorb the new setting....I just retain the me in ME.....
