Days are passing so quicker its been four months I am married now looks like yesterday 😉 the feeling of marriage is seeping into me now. As until last month I never felt I am married and a wife. Just felt I am on a short vacation far away from my parents. Hmmmm but facing reality now! To be a woman is so difficult she has to be strong and running around all the times. Whereas the opposite gender is chilled out, lazed out and taken care off by women again 😉

Guess I need a small vacation for me going to beaches, islands Or mountains. Awaiting to go for a leisure trip subject to my hubbys leaves. Have a strong gut feeling travel is on my cards when and where let time decide. Don’t worry I am not a astrologer just listen to my heart and sixth sense sometimes that’s all.
