Falling in Love. Those little butterflies. The first kiss. That memorable romance. The cherished gift. The silly fights. The late night phone calls. The promise. The future – Let April begin; Let’s talk relationships!
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you must be familiar with the A to Z blogging challenge I took up last year on Motherhood Emotions. In short, the challenge is to blog everyday starting the 1st of April until the 30th, except on Sundays. With a 6-month old baby, it was indeed a challenge last year though I cherish the opportunity it gave me to get closer with writing. The challenge is nothing less now. In fact, it’s a lot more challenging, negotiating with two royal siblings all day. The playtime series I had started, the little online shop I had launched, the kids directory I’d been working on – all of them hang midway staring at me with scorn every time I reach my desk. And before I can justify my absence, here comes April!
Nevertheless, let me take up the challenge, what say?
The Mr. & The Mrs.!
Perhaps, I haven’t experienced anything more thrilling than falling in love. It felt like a different dimension where the reality of everybody else other than that one person was a joke. Past wasn’t a thing at all and future seemed alluring; this can happen only when you fall in love!
All began well, where love travels and how the journey proceeds is a mystery of its own kind. It may prove to be a thing of joy and sadness, of learning and understanding, of choices and serendipity and ultimately, of evolution. Yeah, no matter how head over heels a love story may begin, it does get through its share of evolving over time. The Mr. & The Mrs. – The Evolution will be a series of 26 posts to take you through a warm ride of how love relationships evolve and the myriad of emotions it drenches us into.
