Marriage Story!

Today is a long day, but it is going the way I planned.. With sankashti chaturthi fasting (2 coffee + 1 biscuit packet, you might be thinking if this is called fasting.. ?? hehe.. for a foodie like me, it is ..). 
The morning  hours went in unpacking n packing my sisters's stuff from PG  to her new home.It was a frantic moment.. Guilty charged Rs.1500/-!!.  Wish I was bit composed!.. After long 7 months of lockdown, I travelled through crowded Bangalore traffic. not the jampacked but 25% of it.. Things are trying to get normal outside ..A Positive sign!! A big sigh & relief!

Following from there , washed my clothes and went shopping etc.. physically tried, in short..I planned to complete my day  with the movie, Marriage Story. As planned..

Movie Review Time: Marrige Story!

Movie start to end, it is quite engaging with a touch of curiosity that attached me to this movie till the end..

Well, Lets go to the movie plot...


Nicole, a theater artist, wants a divorce from Charlie, a successful theater director. Nicole feels neglected and blames Charlie for her identity loss. Hence, she moves to LA from New York on a temporary basis to get back her identity. Despite the mutual agreement to not involve a lawyer, Nicole connects with a  lawyer due to her surroudings. Things gets worse from there and it turns to a fight for child custody! From there, life take different directions.

What I liked about the movie is: Even though ,this is my first movie of these actors , they did not make me feel as a stranger...  I was able to easliy to connect with the characters! I liked Nicole's  Mother. She is damn sweet!  Overall,  the movie is a family entertainer! It makes you giggle at a times yet feel bad too.The movie is carried out with the reality of  how the marriage life is failing in finding a balance between a couple.

Thoughts around my head after the movie:

After certain period of marriage, heart breaks happens due to where one does not feel appreciated for their efforts by assuming that other person is happy the way the life goes..Uhmmm.. Here, the problem, in my opinion, is allowing someone to walk over your choices/needs!

Perhaps, this is the most likely thing to happen in marriage esp. with women, who  regrets on losing their identity.  Women has done Phd on "how to lose identity in marriage" by graciously allowing her man to overpower her choices and regret after immersing. It sounds like consciously adjusting and compromise her choices for love of her life/family. But how long this could run if she is not able keep herself happy with the compromises she made? 

However, Women also gets her new identity. Again, women, herself underrates the new identity i.e Mother! In the opinionated world ,Mother's role is under-estimated by herself, and so by others.. 

In marriage , compromises are under-estimatied or after a long time, that becomes one's identity!

Well, readers, the blog may sound like I am catching hold of woman for losing her identity in marriage and why to blame man ? If women herself not worried and voiced out in right time, so, why the man??  Love is blind , in most of cases we, woman volunteer to be blindfolded.

Thats story of Movie.. Give a shot if you have time.. :-)

All gold..

 As part of my job, I get to embrace a lot of gold chains/bracelets/rings /earrings, and being a woman, the temptations are real, to wear and own it. These desires grew stronger day by day, which landed me in a spot through the receptionist, where there is no camera coverage and with a deal that I have to allow her to wear it for a selfie. Well, one is taken care of, the wanting to possess at least a few did not allow me to sleep. I could not afford to buy any one of them because our peanut salary gets invisible into the endless loan, education fees, and all the bills. I did not want to become a gold thief, hence for now decided to sleep over the thought.  Days flew fast as the gossip on my Instagram jewel post. Few thought I won the lottery and interestingly, few assumed that my husband is getting black money in his IT job. Whatever the gossips where, but it made me feel like a celebrity in my neighborhood.  All the unknown faces become known. I got to choose the vegetab...

Impartiality.

  Today  Mythili, “get ready soon. We are late!”. “Why in such a hurry? We have good 30 mins to catch the bus. To be specific, I do not want to wait at the bus stand. The bus stand, that has taken my son’s life. I know something happened there and no one wants to share with me anything”. She sits on the sofa, not wanting to cry but still her tears reveal the pain that she is going through for the last 5 years. Guilty and feeling helpless! Sigh! I am hoping from today the days are going to be better. Suddenly the wreath falls from his photo, acknowledging my hope. His smile and that innocence,  at least once, I want to ask him,  "Am I not a good father?" 5 days back: After my son killed himself, Mythili lost herself in a different world. She stopped sleeping and eating. During those days, my situation was the same as hers. I could not do anything much to take care of her. Once I moved to the office, I managed to divert the pain, but she locked herself in a room and wa...
