Having topped my school, college and work, life seemed all in place. After I got married, I was exposed to another realm of life: home management. Until then, I wasn’t aware of the mechanism that kept it running. Neither my husband nor I had much prior experience in this life skill, let alone a degree. This made me realise that there’s much more in life to learn.
As an app developer, I knew the way grocery delivering apps work but I had no idea how to buy vegetables in real life. Nevertheless, there’s always a first time. With this slogan in mind, my husband and I marched into the local market assuming that we would score a six with the very first ball. Based on the lessons that I had picked up from my internship at my in-laws, I handpicked eight chillies for the two of us. The vendor laughed at us... it was a wholesale market!
Our kitchen has witnessed a lot more adventure than Mount Everest. From burnt food to half-cooked meals, we made them all.
