Why Singapore is best country to live

I was like any other Indian girl very attached to my family. I am the youngest and most pampered one. We used to talk at the dining table about everything happened in a daytime and those deep conversations accompanied with Wow!! What a yummy food . Where are your hands Mamma really want to kiss them . I really miss those fun loving days as well as their amazing pep talks to bring me and my brother up whenever we are down .My father and brother used to pick me up and drop me wherever I have to go whether it’s school, my swimming classes , tuition, shopping , friends place and even to office. My colleagues used to laugh at me but guys actually the fact is they were jealous of me how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family [ Just kidding ] 

In college was staying in a hostel very blessed to have great friends who were always there for me. Miss you guys!!

Time flies but love and beautiful memories remain forever , now I am married.

Imagine guys …..it’s still on . Nothing changed, now it’s my dearest husband.

In February I got engaged and after three months got married in May. Everything was so rush rush just like riding a high speed train to get married, it was not less than Shatabdi or Rajdhani express. So finally the wedding train cranks in to action.

Story of every house , had to find a venue, wedding invitation cards distribution, do lot of bookings , arranging everything and then shopping in between there were mixed feelings too.

Me:– I was excited and little nervous too obviously excited because getting a perfect life partner and also my in laws were very good and they have already started treating me like their daughter but despite all of this I was little nervous too as it was arrange marriage. I think its quite natural as I was travelling out of India after marriage ,new place , new faces, new house for life, different culture and most toughest was to leave my house , parents and brother behind.

Parents:- They were extremely happy because getting a perfect life partner and family for their daughter but tensed too as she was going far ,will get a chance to meet only once in a year.  And as usual lot of advice say yes to everyone, manage everything very well, give love and respect to everyone, don’t argue with anyone, don’t do this don’t do that AND MAKE US PROUD. 

Brother:- He was excited that finally his little sister is getting married to his prince charming and said Don’t take him for granted , Do less shopping and always take care of him otherwise this time have to make international calls to advice you mera toh band bhaj jayega. 

It’s been more than 6 years now but today also I remembered that moment when Papa, Mamma n bhai hugged me so tightly and they said we know that you will not let us down we are and will always be proud of you.

Inmy case it was little different it’s not only me, my parents, brother who were going through a lot of Melo drama. But everyone in the family from both sides Mamma and Papa was equally involved . All were happy and little tensed too because everybody knows I am very attached to my parents so pool of emotions were coming out.

Don’t forget it was a typical Indian wedding guys where there was lot of fun, excitement , never ending rituals, Melo drama, delicious food, lavish decorations , entertainment , non stop dance and music. After all we are Indians very much closed and attached to each other . Reminds me of a lovely song “It happens only in India”. Love you all

Oldies in family:- Singapore is far so coming to India only once in a year possible , boy enquiry done or not , can’t rely on NRI boys even their parents don’t know what their children are doing out of Country.

Middle Age:- How you will pass your time there, don’t interact much with strangers, don’t roam around alone late at night , keep calling whenever you get time.

Siblings:- More relaxed and easy going .Now start eating non veg if not then at least curry we don’t think you will get vegetarian food there.

Tayiji and Tayaji who has already been to Singapore so many times  said Don’t worry dear we have been to so many countries in the world and we must say that you are very lucky going to the world’s best country Singapore you are going to love it . Our best wishes are always with you and your husband.

I felt so relaxed . All’s well that ends well. 

After all I belong to Punjabi khatri family after listening to everyone I replied as expected from me “ Where is my Singapore flight ticket it’s time to pack my suitcase”. 

“GANPATI BAPPA MORYA MANGAL MURTI MORAYA”

When first time I came to Singapore with my husband it was all together different world . The airport was so well designed after all Singapore airport is one of the best airport of the world. I was extremely happy to see greenery everywhere so beautiful. Rainy season was going on weather was so pleasant . Our flat was on 2nd floor the view from Window was breathtaking. It was totally different what everyone was saying all turns out to be opposite of that. My first year of marriage visited India twice along with two more countries Indonesia and Malaysia , party almost every weekend , been to so many Indian restaurants and got vegetarian food very easily , made so many friends,. Time flies it’s been more than 6 years in Singapore with Gods grace enjoying a wonderful life with my husband. So guys and girls whenever you get chance to come to Singapore don’t think twice just go for it.There are so many reasons to add Singapore to your travel bucket list
