Sunday Stories 

 Dec 13^th 2004, - our first meeting (Sunday)….. Usually in hindu custom the groom will goto the bride’s house to see the girl, but in my case I went to the grooms place to see the groom, coz my MIL told me that he is not interested in marriage and that I have to go and see him before he starts to office….His house is not even a minute’s walk from my house but the strange thing is that we never met each other before that ( after our marriage was fixed he daily used to stop near our house and say bye  while starting to office) My sister is the one who wanted me to continue with the proposal coz  that was the time she came to my house for pregnancy and she wanted to fix my marriage proposal…I went to his place very casually and didn’t expect much after that meeting…. In the evening he came to my house and said ok, but I had something in mind that I wanted to check out… I was little bit reluctant to ask and finally asked him that I wanted to check whether the height is ok…he came directly near me  and stood next to me and asked  whether am satisfied or what….the smile and the way he expressed things were really impressive….He is a real cool guy…I still remember the words he said…”I expect u to adjust with my office timings”. Though I nodded my head that time like a good girl I always get tensed up and used to msg him thousand times if he didn’t turn up by 9’0 clock…

Every weekend we used to go out and I madly wait for Sundays to come(elllarume appadidan terium… naanum anda listla add aaaittan)….. hand in hand, a shoulder to hug and cry…. A person with whom I can be myself….. and above all the unconditional love that I feel each and every moment

I received his first gift on Sunday  (Feb 13^th) just before the valentine’s day.. It was more romantic than expected…..He said he cannot take off on Monday so we celebrated our first valentine’s day on 13^th itself…I received two lovely purses and a chain and ear rings (made of srinlankan crystal) as gift.

Engagement on Feb 20^th 2005 – Sunday – A simple occasion with close relatives ……

 I have fear for flowers right from my childhood (yes enna pandradu ???, china pasanga kooda flower vechu enna bayamoortuvanga)and am very much afraid of rose and other big flowers… even in temples I will not take any flowers from the priest….when one of his cousins gave rose to me I was shivering and hardly trying not to show my fear out .. he just looked at me and signaled that he will take care of things…he explained the situation to others and handled the whole situation easily without hurting the elders  and I felt the strong support even now,coz people wont believe such things and its not easy to make others see the pain and difficulty that we see in certain things(I  struggled a lot to wear garland and flowers during my marriage )…I wanted to go out on the day with my hubby but since there were so many relatives in their house he was not able to come out…. I still recollect the mail that he had sent after the engagement and its there in my mailbox even now

The feeling of being loved by someone we love is always exhilarating and the small fights and misunderstandings will always end up in better understanding and love….

He gets holiday only on Sundays and Sunday evening is all mine….till date he never blamed me for anything….the love, affection, romance and support gave me more confidence and am able to see a new person in me…..

Marriage on May 29 2005 – Sunday – Typical hindu marriage with the blessings of the Almighty

Honeymoon – Manali, Ranikhet, Tajmahal, Nainital lake, Mussorie,, - I used to hav vomiting sensation while climbing up the mountains (what to do? paavam arun) so we used to stop the car every 10 minutes while climbing up and I used to worry very much what he is goin to think but he’s always been supportive and he always used to tease me on that…..Once in manali we had a small fight and before we end up with the fight we started for the trip that the hotel offered for couples.. one more couple joined us and in the taxi I didn’t know how to ask sorry in front of others so I wrote “Sorry” on my hand and showed it to him…. He also wrote “I love you” on his hands and showed it to me… Near the hadimba temple while I was showing my hands for mehandi the couples have seen that and asked my husband whether we fought or what…. that trip was really memorable….

2010 – On the new year day he had some important official work and went to office and asked me not to expect him till 4 or 5 o clock… I was quite upset but still there is no other option…. Sharply by 4’o clock he called and said that it will take another 3 hours to finish the work and he could turn up only by 7 or 7.30 in the evening… I started crying and disconnected the call.. suddenly the door bell rang and I thought it would be the laundry lady or the water supplier and opened the door./… to my surprise my hubby was standing outside with a smile  and also a wonderful gift….. MY joy on that day knew no bounds and its still lingering in my mind…..

Life is a wonderful journey so far and there are so many things to cherish and recollect…. Am happy to share the wonderful moments…..
