The transition phase!
Life has been pretty good to me ever since I got married late last year! My husband, Noobie and I now live and work in Singapore.
Just last night, I was at a parlour near my apartment, and Noobie kept calling. We had the deal to meet at this MRT station and walk back home together. We were on call for about 2 mins while he kept trying to locate the place… When I put the phone down, he had spotted the place by then and was pacing the area outside… The parlour lady who was observing all of this, winked slyly at me and asked “Boyfriend?”. I smiled back and said “No. Husband” 
In a separate though similar incident, I was in a meeting with two very charming Chinese women at work. We were generally chit-chatting after having covered the agenda set out for the meeting,
M and B: Oh, so you are new to Singapore. Where are you put up?
Me: Yeah… I stay in *blah blah*
M and B: Niceee… so u staying with parents/roomies?
Me: mmmm…errr…Room mate actually…and that room mate happens to be my husband
At this there was a long string of laughter, so loud.. it made me wonder what others in the office would think of our “meeting” To top it all, it was followed by a collective sigh, and “Ooooohhhh! U r sooo young!!!!” And then, yet again… I went to have lunch with a colleague who was equally shocked to find out that I was married.
When I was getting married, I thought it would be a funny feeling… the feeling of being married and I may need some time getting used to it 
But, here… its ppl who are taking time to get used to me being married!! 
Such a contrast from the land, my birth land, where an unmarried girl in mid-20s attracts unwanted attention from all kinds of uncles and aunties 
Thats is so true about unwated attention
!! ;from gr8 lakes to singapore , must have been an amzing journey so far ..all the very best . I wish i land Nanyang university for an MBA this year ..:)
Thanks Yaseen. Its been good so far
And all the best to you 
flaunting , babe?
Flauting? For what? I was merely pointing out cultural differences…
true.. i too don’t look married in any way except for my ‘Mangal Sootra’. which is not very visible.
i am in the transition period of accepting that i am married.
Hahahhaha… We dont have to wear a mangal sutra and even if I did, ppl other than Indians are less likely to know
Not true with Boys, Unmarried young boys dont attract much attention… but Boys in late 20’s and early 30’s sure do..
it takes more time for a man to get noticed i guess.. 
Yeah! Its kind of limited to girls
Damn lucky you!! I face the exact opposite problems…… everywhere guys older than me talk with respect and think I am some senior executive or something like that. No autowala calls me bhaiyya, they call me “saahb” or “sir”. Most of people treat my elder brother like a boy in twenties when he is with me.. And when I tell them I am not even 23, either they laugh thinking I am joking or just shake their heads in disbelief. BAH.
I wish I at least looked of my age.
Arreee nahiiiii!! I look much older than my actual age… just that in the rest of Asia, u dont really marry until u r like 30 something
Yes. Thats true. Many will never believe that one of my cousins got married on third day after she turned 18!!! And my uncle is no illiterate or something, he is just too much orthodox.
BTW What is you age? (
Optional question, answer not necessary 
)
Guhahahhaha!! Like i m gonna answer that
You know what??? I can totally relate to you..
Read this to know why http://books-life-n-more.blogspot.com/2009/03/washroom-tales.html
And like Oorjas even am still trying to adjust to the fact that am married and it is already 2 years
Yes!! I think it just takes forever to get used to that feeling!
its not just unmarried girls, even the guys aren’t spared
I agree with the people.. You got married too young.. Oh, so young !!!
Lol … That is so damn true … The cultural differences between the two coasts has always existed here in the US too and it has now haunted me for a while since I shared the news with my colleagues and some friends at job, of me getting married in Dec this year… They are like “Samkit, you are still way too young to get married” “Guys, I am freaking 26 and will be approaching almost to end to my 27th year in independent bachelorhood by the time I am riding the band-wagon of my marriage and start a new life”. And they are like “HAHAHAHA HHOOHOHOH and HEEHEHEHE – Well life is coming to an end for you mah friend in Dec 2009″ !!!!
Crazy I tell you these people are… I still love the fact that India has still those uncle’s and aunties to oogle at us (more for the girls) when we start crossing 24-25 and approach 27-28 !!!
Cheers
Hahahahha!!! No! I dont like it!! I hate it when others meddle with ur life!!
I am! I am!
Hahaha, thank you for sharing your experience. Yes, married life does take some getting used to… its been over a decade and I am still getting used to it
. Its funny to note how different things are once we leave our HOME.
he he
have had similar experiences.. jaws drop at the mere utterance of the word ‘husband’ 
Hehehe…totally. The other day, a sales girl came n tried to sell some crockery. I kept saying there was no one at home n I had no money on me–and finally she was like…please, ask your daddy to pay for you. And i said i dont live with my parents…thrs jus me and my husband here. And she looked at me skeptically and asked ” You’re married? At this age!? Don’t kid me. Go get your daddy, girl!”
