How is married life treating you?

...oh, it’s devastating! Wish I could tell someone this just to see how he reacted... what is one supposed to say?Getting married is all about getting used to a lot of new things. Waking up with a new person, her idiosyncrasies, change in priorities, change in goals, blah blah... blah. But how exactly does one react to a vague enquiry... So? How is married life treating you? Some ask it with a tone of conspiracy... tell me all you can while your wife is out of earshot... Some ask it with a smug look... now you’ll know what you’re in for! writ ll over their face...Some things have changed... weekend grocery shopping, for example... a 20 something boy pushing a trolley-full of normal vegetables and dal-chawal-atta always seemed to give aunties and uncles something to stare at, giggle about and worse still, point fingers at! Somehow they seem much more acceptable of the contents of the trolley in the presence of a woman alongside. Ah, he is the settled down sorts... they think, and must have recently graduated to eating healthy, normal khaana – the kinds that do not come out of a oven-safe packet.Is this what domestication is all about
