When I was a little girl I was extremely fond of pets, which made me decide that I want to become a veterinary doctor...but as I grew up I realized that I had to love science more than animals to become a doctor, so that plan got changed. And since then in due course of life I made and changed many plans and eventually landed up in Delhi to start my professional struggle. It has always been a well known fact for me that, nothing comes easy in life...so after a long struggle I reached where I wanted to and managed to establish myself as a marketing professional. (All thanks to my amazing tenure at Barista Lavazza). Well in all these years and all these plans I never ever dreamt or thought of myself getting married and settling down…it was a long, focused and ambitious journey until I met my husband in a coffee shop at Delhi. Our meeting was arranged by our parents and all that we wanted was to get over and done with it...BUT when we met tables turned, things worked out; we fell in love and decided to get married. And all this required me to quit my job and move to his base which is Hyderabad....!!
So now, here I am from Delhi to Hyderabad, from the role of a Brand Manager to a home maker. So have things changed??? In a way yes...but I look at it with a different perspective just to make it feel fancy for myself (can’t help it after all I'm a girl and I would want it fancy and nice).
Earlier I used to get up early for a morning marathon of getting ready to leave for work, now I get up early to get my husband leave for work, trust me the latter is more of a challenging task. In Delhi I had a small cubicle and a workstation at my office...now my workstation size has increased to an entire house. So scope of work has definitely increased with more exposure.
As a marketing professional I always had to be proactive with all my plans & strategy...similar is case with home making, I have to be ready always for any ad hoc events, and planning is the most essential key to running a household. Earlier it was about promoting the brand products (mainly food n beverages, since that was my industry) to consumers in the most convincing manner. Now it’s promoting my own cooking at home…though no convincing required here (thanks to Dadi for all the cooking tips & knowledge) :-D
Boring office discussions and meetings have changed to Dinner table discussions whilst enjoying a good meal...
Earlier store visits have converted into regular provisions store visits (can proudly say that the Q-Mart staff recognizes me now, I'm sure I'll be their first privileged member if they launch their loyalty program) Oh that reminds me, I should definitely sell this idea to them.
So yeah life has changed, roles have changed, its been more than a month of a different city and different surroundings for me. And along with all this, my perspective towards all these changes have changed. I do miss working but then I do love taking care of my house and family too. And so far it’s been an amazing transition.
Such is the beauty of life, It comes in different phases to keep you excited and amazed…!!!
