Life After The Knot


To carry on from the last post about the knot, what has that led me to? How has life after the knot been?Have I become that serious married man who suddenly stops having fun? Have I given up my past times and passions in the name of being more responsible and a dedicated family man? Would I not have time to blog anymore? To be honest, these were a few fears I had in me prior to marriage and these were few things I swore I would never become.

Certain aspects of my life has not changed one bit. I am still having fun and still following my passion. I still play with my band and we meet very often. In fact we had two shows in the last two days and it was awesome. Some were betting on the fact that I would be forced to give up on the band after marriage. I could never see why they felt the need for that. Maybe they never got a chance to follow their passion after they got married. In fact, Rush gets along perfectly fine with all my band mates and their respective wives, so that's awesome. So Rusty Moe continues to rock harder than before, post knot.

Like most of you know, I love cooking, and so I was never particular on having a wife who cooks. I enjoy it and and seriously like doing it myself. It does not bother me one bit that Rush does not like cooking, though it could be partly because she has never tried her hand at it. I however cannot begin my day without a cup of tea, and every single day since marriage, I have had my cup of tea when I have woken up. How blessed am I? The first time she made tea, Rush was quite excited that she sent an sms to almost everyone on her phone list saying that she made tea and more importantly that I loved it. Oh, those small things that makes one happy..!!! So, on the whole, she does most of the cleaning and I do most of the cooking. She never nags me about having to clean up. She just does it. I don't bug her about having to cook. I just do it. We have a deal here and it seems to be working out just fine for the both of us.

Setting up the house has been fun. Deciding what we need to get, budgeting it, paying and finally waiting for it to arrive has been exciting in its own cute little way. Our house is almost set now and it is finally looking like a home. We enjoy spending time at home. The lack of a TV means we talk much more and maybe catch an occasional movie on the laptop. Not for long though. I want to get a TV before IPL3 next month. One thing lacking is the internet. Since it is a new building, it is going to take a while to have our own connection. So that can be my excuse for not blogging often, if anyone cared.

So there you go. The story of my life post the knot. Pretty normal isn't it? Now with Rush being a part of my life, I guess I might have more things to blog about. Cheers..!!

ps: The secret to a happy marriage lies in using separate toilets.
