Being the Bahu Rani

Ramzan is here. I wait the whole year round for this month. There is something magical about this month. This is to be my first ramzan after my marriage and as it was approaching near i wondered if it would be any different. And different it is.

Now me being the "bahu" am responsible for preparing parathas for sehri. I am pretty good at making parathas and Lady Z is a big help around as makes all the fried eggs, the omelates and the Chota makes the tea. Its a new experience for me.Its like a group workand small team makes some very delicious sehri mind you.

When a girl is at her own home she is never supposed to be responsible for this kind of stuff. she can tellher mom what she wants to have that day and itis taken vcare of. But as soon as she becomes the bahu she has all these responsibilities. I am not the kind who would want to live seperatly. Though almost all the girls i see around me either demand seperate houses before they get married or as soon as they get married. But i like the family living togather concept. It has its pro and its cons. If i have to make sehri and then get ready and go for work, but then all washing, cleaning, dusting, ironing is taken care of. and forget the materialistic things, when i am going back from work i know i would be greated with open hearts and warm smiles. There will be someone eager to know how my day went and equally eager to tell me that how the electricity or should i say absence of it made the day slow, how the kam karnay wali showed up late again and how the dry cleaner did not return the two trousers last given to him.

if i honestly have to tell the cons, i would have to think for a whilke and even after thinking for a while i m not able to come up with something that would be categorised as a "con".

so what is it that makes the saas bahu scenes??
