paravalede, ala koorchuni roju rojuki kotha threads start chesi manchi discussions pedtunnaru IL lo!!! nenu ee thread chala late ga choosinattlunna..
anyway, mee questions ikkada paste chesukunna for reference:
naa marriage ayyi 25 years ee samvatsaram..so response ichinavarilo andarikalla nenu seniormost...
kooturiki pelli chesthe tvaralo, nene oka alludiki attagaru ayye scene nadi

ma ammaki attagaru le, nanna chinnapude bamma swarganiki vellipoyeru..so, tana kooturiki attagarundalani, chalabaga kalisipovalani amma korika. am dream nenu fulfil cheyyalani pedda aim pettukuni, sadhinchenu...mind you, i didnt have to make any sacrifices, just went with an open mind, that is all. aavidaki nenu pelli munde cheppenu: nenu seema tapakaya, chiru kopam jasti, ayithe meeto nenu kopalu-tapalu/vadana/potlata pettukonu. emaina nachaka pothe. meeto frank ga cheptanu, positive ga teesukovali, meeru alage chesthe, mana madhya godavalundavu.. mamagaru chala mechukunnaru aa roju, if you are entering marriage with this attitude, we'll get along fine ani... 25 years touch wood....
1)meru me atta gari gurunchi amma gurunchi cheppalanukundi anta mato panchukovachu
ma amma and attagaru iddaru, vari pillalu+bharta kosam unconditional support ichi, chala cheseru, with a lot of personal sacrifice. as their children (ammaki nenu naa siblings, attaki dh and his), we owe our current position in life and its success to them
2)at the end varilo meku nachevi nachanivi kuda mato cheppali
nachevi
amma: nothing is impossible for mom. all her life housewife ayina, ye pani aina sadhinchagaladu. emaina help kavalani adigithe, aa pani poorti ayye varaku koorchodu. super personal discipline, dabu jagrata (dabbuleka chala kasta paddadi kabatti, ippudu nalugu rallu chetilo unna, chala careful in a good way) , health baga choosukuntundi. chala baaga vanta chestundi. a good role model for us kids.
atta: 3rd class paina chaduvukoka poyina, chala brathuku theruvu nerchukunnaru. pelli chesina taruvata, koduku kodali jeevitham lo interfere avakoodadu, live and let live ane philosophy. chala baaga vanta chestaru. inchu minchu 80yrs vastunna, anni panulu chesukuntaru.
nachanivi:
amma: eppudu consistently super mom ayina, oka super nag avatamvalla, pillalu na bondo ani nagging dulipesukuntaru, though she has valid reasons for her nagging, kodallu sahinchaledu, she should back off ani, this is our life ani. atta anipinchukunesariki, kodallato padaledu. tappu everidantara? , rendu chetulu kalisthekani shabdam radu annare peddalu, ikkada ade scene.atta kodallu, iddaru responsible..if she were to critique me for a situation, as a daughter, my response will be to take it in the positive spirit. but ade scene, replace me with a dil, anta reverse gear lo nadustundi. no doubt blood is thicker than water....
atta: pedda negatives emi levu, only vanta cheyyatam ante pedda hobby. ekkadunna, fridge ninda ani sizullo leftovers chala untayi.. dh and i overlook it totally, afterall, konta food fridge lo koorchunte, so what? emi waste avadukada, somebody is eating it... she has been a good mil. kooturini nannu samamga choosukunnara? who knows? it doesnt really matter to me. nenu lekhalu petukoledu. what matters is that we are all totally compatible.
3)vari nunchi meremi expect chestunnaru
first of all, both are too old to change, yet
amma: i keep hoping she will let go, reduce her expectations, since if unfulfilled, they lead to disappointments (which she has, but it is too late with her dils).
atta: cook a little less (never told her this), learn to relax and take it easy.the world wont standstill if you didnt do housework for a day (always tell her this)...
4)A characterslo mundu mundu merela vundali anukuntunnaru
naaku iddaru adapillale. so, kodalu vache scene ledu.. yet, as the senior human being in the equation, i believe it is the responsibility of the mil to make the dil welcome and adjust to life amongst new family members... similarly, the dil has to understand that the mil will feel a bit insecure about a new girl in her son's life and him being drawn to her.. neither the dil nor the mil understand that the man in their midst doesnt have to totally take only one side. they bith have very different roles in his life and can coexist in harmony... adadaniki adade shatruvu ndukante, family lo dominance and power struggles-ego-i must be in total control attitude valla...
tv serials chooso, intlo amma-nanamma relations chooso, pustakalu chadivo, amma=manchidi, atta=cheddadi ani mana indian girl child psyche lo baga mudra padipoyindi. seriously tell me, how many girls go into marriage today ready to give equal importance to mom and mil because the mil is also a mom-that is his??? 1%, 2%?? then, why do all of the newly marrieds accuse the mil of the same preference to her own daughter over the dil???? i believe there has to be a equal give and take from both women, unless they both step into their mil-dil relationship with more tolerance and acceptance, accusations/misunderstandings/heartache/altercations/separation will continue........forever.
inta strong ga anni aspects cover chesinanduku, ee thread ikkade matassh ayipovachu, but this is an interesting discussion, i am curious to see how the group will respond!
