It was my dream..to get married to a software professional. Know why?
Well, young and sleek looking guys carrying lappy's and moving around with a ciggy and burger in hand...(yeah! I know the whole American culture), this picture used to fascinate me.
You can say this was the effect with me probably because I came from a small city. Anyways, so my thinking was that they would get fat paychecks..leading to a lifestyle of luxury!
Wow! Now I must tell you I wasn't wrong in thinking so. Fat paychecks, lappy's strung acrooss the shoulder and living life in the fast lane, is all indded a part of the whizkids daily life.
I got everything that I had wished for as far as the wishlist mentioned above is concerned. But, there is something that I missed...there is a pro and con to everything.
After my marriage to this whizkid, I learned the value of time, place and prority.
Time is a "BIG"... yes a big constraint. Like this popular line from some masala bollywood song says..."pyaar chahiye ke paisa chaihiye"(you know..love or money!)..yeeee... need both dahling!
And you know what... when I had this dream..I had never visited a metropolis earlier... so, the cost of living factor... never clicked my mind!
Geee.. today, being in the capital city of the country, married to a software pro, who is ambitious and considers time as money, a complete workaholic(had only read this term in a dictionay earlier) I am leading an EMI Zindagi!
