Thirteen years of togetherness.

Consider this - a girl who is opposed to arrange marriage and wants to find love someday. Like all other girls she too has a twinkle in her eye when she talks about her prince charming.

All her life she has seen her parents so blissfully married that it has set some kind of a benchmark for her. To surpass that seemed very farfetched.

When I first met him I knew we had connected on some level. When we got married, I realised that whether love or arranged it doesn't matter as long as there is respect and individuality. Love grows stronger as time passes and when kids come into picture, it makes life all worth it. I have understood that life is not a bed of Rose's all the time. Everyone has their own share of ups and downs, fights and chaos. To overcome all the hurdles which life throws and be there for each other is what takes you ahead in your marriage. They say when Life hands you lemons, make lemonade, and that's exactly what we have done. Marriage is a constant work in progress. I truly feel blessed to have shared this journey with you..my hubby of thirteen years who has stood besides me like a rock in all my struggles and lows.

You have not just surpassed my expectations but given me much more than that. Everybody's journey in life is different. Thanks to you to adorn ours with so much of love, respect, drama and companionship. I will always cherish the way you bring so much fun in our routines and make otherwise boring stuff, more interesting.

Cheers to the passed years and many more to come. To grow old together will be the most unromantic thing to say for some. But the glorious years ahead seem so promising that I cant wait to get there.

P.S -Happy Wedding Anniversary to my dearest ,17th November.

Dad flying to London, made history!

My dad is aviophobic and so when he reached London, I heaved a sigh of relief. My parents were visiting my kid brother who is put up in London since last four years. He had been asking them to visit him since he shifted there. However it always felt on dads deaf ears. My dad has become a little bit socially awkward since past couple of years. He wasn't always like that though. I mean yes, he never liked to travel a lot. His definition of travel meant a twenty minutes ride to my place to meet his granddaughters. Apart from these visits he makes a couple of rounds to the doctors office and once in a blue moon visits his relatives and friends after a lot of pestering from mum. My mum likes to travel a lot. She is ever so excited about exploring new places. So this time around too dad had made it very clear that as he is scared of flying he wont join mum on her visit to London. My mother had to remind him that British Airways will be taking care of the flying part and all he h...

The marvellous Granny.

Grandmothers are special. Especially to their grandkids. Grandkids love and worship their grannies and the grannies adore their grandkids to the moon and back. What if I tell you I know one such granny who adores not only her grandchild but adores other kids too. She is very loving and generous and an amazing cook. She is always so eager to help others and is in fine fettle. At her age, I doubt If we will be able stand on two feet and walk, let alone running errands. I remember when we were young our granny would go to great extents to fulfill our demands. However small or big it would be, she would make sure we got atleast something, which was close to what we asked for. In those days, almost over three decades back, money and food weren't abundant like it is in today's day and time. Most people used to scavenge for things which could be reused. My gran was such a towering figure, not in terms of physique but in terms of substance. She was an amazing woman and stood h...

If you would like to be generous please go full throttle.

My dad has always taught me to be generous without hesitation. When I was younger, I never understood what he meant by that. All I saw was my mum and dad working hard to make a good life and helping people in need without thinking twice and without any hesitation. All the relatives and friends never used to think twice when they were in trouble as they knew all they had to do was - ask, and my parents would be there for them, sometimes giving a cash favour and on more occasions being there in person and giving their time and energy to help and just be there in other peoples moment of difficulty. The enthusiasm which they had was unmatched. He always told me that you never give away things which you no longer need. That's not the way to give. That is not being generous. It's just discarding all those things you no longer need. He then used to encourage me to give things which I was still using and were good to give. The things which are not good to be used by you are n...
