What marriage has done to an ordinary man...
Marriage has changed my life in more ways than one.
11 fundamental ways, actually.
1. I get to sit outside "ladies only" beauty parlors and type blog entries.
2. I actually look out for "payatham", "uLutham", "thovaram", "kadalai" and more such paruppu variants on shopping trips.
3. I walk back home from Big Bazaar with angavashtram-like shopping bills (of course, with my Maggi still there as the "jarigai"...)
4. I maintain an excel sheet of accounts to sigh at, before going to bed every night.
5. I run down from office at literally "beck and call", to the waiting auto with a woman in it, religiously at 6:30 PM everyday.
6. I sit cross-legged and cut cabbages for dinner every alternate night.
7. I sit cross-legged and cut vendaikkaai for dinner every other alternate night.
8. I get to use the words "my wife" and other related big words when i talk to colleagues at work! (this somehow still sounds rather unbelievable to say, though).
9. I actually have floor cleaners, wash basin cleaners, toilet cleaners, toilet frangrants, toilet flush fragrances, window cleaners, face wash, hand wash, disinfectants, and other such unnecessaries, which i hardly even knew existed.
10. I also buy "kadipathaa" and "aadhaa kilo dahi" when i am walking back home from my 20-rupee haircut (at my thalai Royal hair stylists!).
11. I feel occasionally insanely happy about managing to finish a blog entry even as "my wife" is spending a meagre 350 bucks "trimming" her hair.

Good one...And I understand how promising married life looks :)
But I pity somebody who eats cabbage and vendakkaa alternatively.
(Being somebody who eats MTR puliyodharai daily shouldn't actually say this..but still...!)
