I couldn't find a suitable title for this blog. Hence the anonymous - Anamika.
The name reminds me of a Sanjeev Kumar movie with the song "Anamika". Lovely song.
No, let me call this -- random mutterings.
I happened to read a blog topic on "Life after marriage", penned nicely. I got the link of this blog from another blog I frequently visit. Given below are the links to the blogs.

Note: It will be better to give a cursory glance of the blogs given above to grasp the context of my current blog.
Well when i was reading about the Life after... blog, I found one of the comments very interesting. One of the readers, apart from agreeing with the author on the topic, threw in a new line of thought. She spoke about how most women (rather girls :-) ) change from being the ambitious type to the concern laden types who put their careers on the back burners to fulfill family needs. That seemed to strike a similar chord with my opinion too.
I have personally felt that change. There have been many instances when I have actually felt like throwing up a good job to be near my family. Recent weeks have set me thinking about the need for further education, the time involved in the whole process, the long separation it will create from my family and the overall futility of the whole process. After mulling over all this, I even came to a decision that I shall stop further work on the application process. If someone had even suggested the above points to me earlier (read pre-marriage), I would have given them a dirty stare and pointed out hundreds of flaws in their reasoning (which i did with my parents !!!).
My attituted surely seems to have changed after marriage. Is being less career driven and more drawn towards family a bad sign ? I am leaving it to the best judge to decide ------- Time.

Everything boils down to the fact is what makes us happy... and if u r happy being with ur family.. then thumbs up.. u chose the right one.. All the best!
Yeah .. true ..but will this happiness be long lasting ? what if I feel bad at a later stage on having thrown up a career ? Maybe i am being greedy but I want the good from both the worlds. Human greed - nothing to beat that. :-)

We have full control on our "I"!! So solution is simple! I believe we should make a decision and just stick to it.. today and tomorrow!! :) TIME gonna try to topple us down.. circumstances will try to play havoc! But.. then again its I we need to convince to be happy!
