A Journey to a New Home and Heart
Mukta having completed her postgraduate studies, left her small hometown in India to embrace a new life in the United States. Little did she anticipate that destiny would lead her to marry an NRI from the very country she now called home. Fate had its way, and Mukta found herself adjusting to the American lifestyle.

In her former life, Mukta was accustomed to keeping to herself, engaging in her own pursuits, and rarely interacting with those around her. Surprisingly, this habit was well-suited for her new life in the foreign land. Since childhood, she had been engrossed in her own world of activities, and her husband shared a similar disposition. The two of them bonded over their common likes and dislikes.

Despite the geographical distance, Mukta remained deeply connected to her family back in India. Regular video chats with her mother allowed her to proudly showcase her new house, and even during cooking sessions, she found solace in conversing with her mother. The miles seemed insignificant as they both believed that everything in life was guided by a higher power, and their hearts overflowed with gratitude.

Despite her impressive qualifications, Mukta chose not to pursue a job in her adopted country. Her aspirations lay in becoming a successful homemaker, a devoted wife, a caring daughter-in-law, and a nurturing mother. This desire resonated with her mother, who firmly believed that a woman's primary responsibility lay within the walls of her home. Running a household was an art that required skill and expertise to foster a harmonious family life.

For Mukta, this role was nothing short of being the chief executive officer of a significant department. She saw her role as encompassing various aspects, such as nurturing relationships, managing diets, engaging in spiritual activities, and contributing to social engagements. In her eyes, education was not solely for earning a living or landing a job; it was a foundation for becoming an exceptional homemaker. She firmly believed that a strong and prosperous society was built from the very foundation of a loving and well-cared-for home.
