When I got married, the initial dilemma was whether to lead a
homemaker's life or to continue working the way I had been. I refused to deal
with this confusion and chose both. I continued with my job and started
managing my home too.
I had a passion of writing since I was a small kid. However, this
passion of mine faced a major setback due to lack of time, when I had to give
importance to other aspects of my life. After a tough decision to choose
between a promising career or a move abroad for my husband's work, I had to
choose the latter. Fortunately, this "or" proved to be the gateway of
a new "and" for me.
While staying abroad,
in between managing my home, I started to indulge once again in my long lost
passion and that is writing. I started writing bits and pieces. I started
associating with a few beauty & health related websites as a freelancer. I
started getting more and more assignments. I was happy but I wanted to do
something more. Then one fine day I came across a beauty blog from where I got
an idea of what I should be doing now. I slowly started my own blog. I started
writing on my own will, there were no boundaries, no word limits and nobody to
insert the editing scissors in my write-ups. There I was, with my free will
and free thoughts. There was another major turning point in my life where I had
to move again to the city of dreams. And along came another choice of starting
a new life and new environment over my blog. The settling period was not very
easy and it took quite a long time to actually get adjusted to everything around.
After a gap of almost 1 year I thought of working on my blog once again. And
there was no looking back. My life of a homemaker "and" a beauty
blogger geared up.
Today, after so many years of confusion with the "or"s, I
manage my home, look after my parents and in-laws and mange a beauty blog,
"Beauty & Beyond". This is my very own journey from "Or" to "And.
