So i got married, resigned my job, left a lucrative career option, relocated to a different city( in a different time zone!!!) and started keeping house. i would eventually want to work but first i have to "settle the house ''. till last week i was getting up in the morning to get dressed and go to office. now i get up and wonder if i should change the pillow covers. whats wrong with that?? it all comes with the territory. i wanted to get married after all.every morning during the course of some work i sit back and cry for an hour. i feel lonely, deserted, uprooted. i wasnt doing a great job - it wasnt like i was the CEO of a major company or a hot celebrity but i was happy doing whatever i was doing. so why did i have to leave everything - my hometown, my job, my friends, my coffee mug? i got married. i like to think myself as a woman of the world . i like maya angelou and toni morrison. i like carrie bradshaw.i think i am a 21st century modern woman who is conscious of the choices that she makes. but what really makes me wonder is was this really my 'choice'? what can i say? i got married. comes with territory. i wash his clothes and when i tell him about it ( a lil bragging harms nobody) pat comes the reply 'dont do it from tomorrow'. ok. he goes to office and gets paid for it. i do all this work at home and there is not even a lil acknowledgement (leave alone appreciation). what can i say? i got married. comes with the territory.but he is not the devil that i make him out to be. he is really nice - takes me out to dinner, gets me chocolates and eats everything that i cook (which is a big relief btw ). so why do i feel like this?
Situated at around 30-35 km from Port Blair is a beautiful,sandy,shallow beach called Collinpur. Since its situated a little away from the city, the beach is cleaner and quieter. Its covered by dense vegetation and you wont know that you're near the sea until you actually see it. Its a long stretch flanked by a hill on one side and since the gradient is not steep,its ideal for swimming and sunbathing. The main attraction for me was however, another beach called Kurma Dera. This beach is situated a little farther from Collinpur and is more deserted and quieter. The car couldn't go upto the beach and we had to walk nearly 2-2.5 km to reach the beach. The walk was through a very muddy and slushy path along a creek andd I expected to see a crocodile pop out any second. In fact, the second time we went to these beaches, we heard of crocodile attacks on the same day corresponding to our visit. Kurma means shells and I found the most amazing shells on this beach. And what surprise
