Breathing a brand new air, in a country which I call "The End of the World" - New Zealand. Last year along with my wife, I arrived in this piece of land with plenty of anxiety and fear in mind. This was my big ticket to start up from scratch and make it large (I know , I sound Filmy now !! but can't help it). At that time my fear was greater than my excitement.
Many people say, when in fear of the unknown, do not worry ... everything will fall into place. I just hope that, the same happens in my case as well.
I have been in relation with my wife from past 8 years and when we started living together, both of us had our own set of inhibitions. First biggest ice-breaker was that we thought we knew everything about each other, each other's likes and dislikes but sadly we were mistaken. In these 8 months, we have learnt a lot about living together. Major realisations about each other came our way. It seemed like we had missed the target by miles apart.
Some of the things;
1. I realised that she loves watching wild life documentaries... which I thought , I was the only nerd in the entire family who would engross himself in this boring schedule. She also likes watching event documentaries.
2. She realised that I like watching Tamil Movies, despite of the absence of sub-titles...Though I do not follow the movie, dailogue by dialogue, but yes I roughly understand the story and the characters. Also the central idea of the film.
3. I realised that she is an amazingly good and a fast cook. She can cook Rice, Dal, Veges, Rasam and some other side dish... flat within 45 minutes.. ready to eat. She is the Cheetah....
4. She realised that I am the Leopard. Silent Stalker, the underdog... I take a hell lot of time to cook a single dal... but the dish is always a Killer...
(This is the impact of continuously watching wild life documentary)
5. I always knew she could multi -task... but never knew that she could do it so well, in fact I never knew any body doing multi-tasking so well.
6. She always knew I was a good thinker, but realised that I am an exhaustively slow thinker.... By the time I reply, she would already lost her cool....Lol...
These are just a few things, there are plenty of things you realize after you share your life with each other.
