7th December 2022 will always have a special meaning in my life!
Not because it was my 20th wedding anniversary, but also because that is the day God gave me the gift of moving into my own home! A dream that remains a dream for many, but for me 20 years after my marriage I stepped into the kitchen of my own house! I almost felt like a newly wed bride entering her house for the first time! The excitement to be in my own house, to cook in my own kitchen is something I will never be able to pen down in words!
God has always been kind to me and my family, he has taken us through good times, very good times and some not too good times as well! But this was one event which I had been waiting for and finally we were blessed with this massive and ultra luxurious penthouse to stay in! He gave us a house that only people dream of and we couldn’t have been happier!
……..But like they say….life mein next kya aane wala hai kisi ko nahi bata!
We had just started to enjoy staying in the mansion when we received the news of my husband’s promotion! Wow Shilpi, you would say right! New house then promotion, what more could you ask for? You are one lucky woman, you would say!!! Right!
But here was the twist! For his new role, we would have to relocate to Mumbai! THE CITY OF DREAMS!!!
A city of dreams? But what about my dream? Abhi abhi to dream pura hua tha and we had started to enjoy life….but now what’s this?
If you know me, you also know that I am someone who believes in the power of surrender, who believes in the plan of divine more than any other thing…and therefore with all our faith and trust we accepted the Mumbai offer!
A city famous for exorbitantly expensive pigeon holes! 😁
And today, 4 months later.. I stand in another kitchen, which is probably nothing as compared to the one I made… but yet… this is the place where I am staying and cooking happily for my family!
