Prologue

Sneha has just been married. She has a habit of writing a Diary. Her whole day’s experience penned down in a few pages.

As a person she is quite and connected to very few people around her. Being formal and doing things just to make others happy has never been her attitude. Her straight forward attitude has been a like/dislikes for many, but that doesn’t bother her much. She has been very focused on her career and always planned and worked hard for it. Her diary is her best friend. She is a software engineer and works with an MNC. With beautiful eyes and an evenly beautiful sculptured body she has the attention of many men around her. Aditya is her man, her love.

⅏

Aditya complements Sneha’s Behavior. An Extrovert personality, talking to every person around and puts in extra effort to keep people around him happy. Sneha’s beauty and straight forward personality is what impressed him the most.

Sneha and Aditya had got married after an affair of 3 years and they understand each other quite well. There was no opposition to this love marriage from the family. The two families were quite similar. Well it happens very rare, but yes this had happened; they are starting their married life with a smooth start.

⅏

Sneha’s family has her mother, father and her sweet sister Diya. Like any other girl she has a strong bonding with her family. Her parents have bought her up very independently. Be it her career choice or life partner choice, she has been given the freedom to take her own decisions. She has been taught to handle the society issues that come with independence. Following traditions just for the sake of name has never being in the family. Traditions and elders respect have a very thin line difference. Anything appears as tradition needs be analyzed for respect for elders also; else the idea can be trashed.

⅏

ADITYA ALSO BONDS GOOD with his family and wishes to stay with his parents and his brother’s family after marriage. His father is a businessman and his brother has joined the same. They are traditional in their thinking, but always open for new ideas and changes. Aditya’s choice of being a professional was taken up very open heartedly by his parents and are ready to support Sneha’s profession also.

Sneha takes us through a journey in the new house. Here are a few Dates that mark as milestones of her life in the new house.

Dear Diary,

Aaah what a relief to be able to start my diary again. Have been missing you since days. Feels as if I haven’t talked to anyone for days... Conversation with a good friend remains. Just starting a new life and a new diary... Many pages to be filled with expectations and experiences...

Honey moon is definitely a time you cherish throughout your life... Days that never go away from your memories and whenever you want to remember good days these are the ones that will surely come first in mind.

Entered a new house with lots of aspirations and dreams. I want to make the best of my life. From the apartments in East Delhi, I have now moved in South Delhi. Adi’s family lives in a single floor with three bedrooms that are spacious enough. This is a perfect house. Latest furniture well maintained with all new technology stuff. Rooms were big enough and well furnished. Good...a house I always imagined to live in.

The new house is full of people compared to what I used to have in my mummy’s house. Mom says I will get used to this. Well, any number of people around, don’t matter until they don’t try to hijack your life or until you start cooking.

⅏

PEOPLE HERE HAVE A strong bond. They are social and friendly...

Mother–in–law (Sohani Raj) – smart and social. Traditional, yet open to new ideas.

Father–in–law (Ashok Raj) – Business man, generally busy in his routine, till he sees resources being wasted.

Brother–in–law (Shail Raj) – Working with father. Man of very few words and generally minds his own business.

Brother–in–law’s wife (Poonam Raj) – Very loud in conversation and in her attire. She is the one Adi is closest to.

Brother–in–law’s son (Soham) – Naughty, the way boys are. Apple of everyone’s eyes in the house. Adi always takes special care of him.

Well this is what Adi has described them to be... let’s see how true...

Will refer Mother in law as MIL, Father in law as FIL, Brother in law as BIL and his wife as DIL... Easy to refer all the time.

⅏

WANTED TO TALK MORE... Rather share more. Sleeping late is a routine now... More than other works to be done I have to now also fulfill the purpose of marriage...for what men marry :) Good that I knew Adi before marriage. I did not get any surprises on this.

Good night.

Dear Diary,

My day started with a big shock.

Plllaaaahhhhh Plllllaaaahhhhh... What is this sound...who is vomiting... I heard this sound and got up in a rush, waked up Adi

Me – Check outside someone is vomiting... Adi got up rubbing his eyes...pushed the phone button to see the time.

Adi – What...

Me – Someone is vomiting

Adi – Vomiting...

Me – Yes the voice... (Plllaaaahhhhh Plllllaaaahhhhh came the voice again) With eyes wide open and finger pointing to the door See this one

Adi – Ooh this...rubbing his eyes Adi continued it is dad...he is brushing...clearing his throat and stomach in this manner after drinking loads of water... Kunjal Kriya... Don’t bother...just sleep you will soon get used to the noise...

Sleep... How can someone sleep in so much of noise...

Hearing this sound I feel like vomiting...

Sleep... I shut my eyes and tried to sleep

Plllaaaahhhhh Plllllaaaahhhhh... Started the noise again. For sure I can’t sleep in this voice.

The noise stopped after some time and then I thought finally I can catch some sleep for may
