The Saying- I have heard people saying everything changes after one
meets its soul mate. The priorities changes, the feeling and emotions changes
and the outlook changes, in short, the whole world changes for it. Everything
seems to move in slow motion, as fantasized in yash raj films, and love is what
one finds ever where. Isn’t all these so surreal? I always thought this to be
some type of arbit bakwass and masala for our very own Bollywood films, until this happened to me.
I remember that day when I had the
first glimpse of my fiancé. By the way, it was her picture and not her. It was
somewhere in the March’s last week when I was on a small trip to Calcutta . I liked her at
the first instant. I thought of her as the one whom I always wanted to be in my
life, someone whom I always wanted to be my better half.
Things progressed; our families
met and had the initial discussions. I was called to meet the girl I liked at
the first glimpse (in picture, of course). First meet followed by the second
meet after a few months and things were finalized. I was ready to accept her as
my better half and she was ready to accept me as her soul mate. The natural
outcome of this acceptance was a formal ceremony last month – Roka or
Engagement.
My Feelings- Having been in the committed relation for sometime now
makes me think about the changes that I have felt, about my feelings and myself, in
last three weeks. To begin with, the feeling of being into the relationship is
awesome. There’s someone on the earth that cares for you more than herself,
isn’t that amazing? The thought that you are in somebody’s thought is fabulous.
Someone who is interested in smallest of small thing you do in the entire day. The existence of that someone is special.
Someone with whom I can share my
innermost secrets. That someone to whom I can speak my heart out. Isn’t it so
natural? Isn’t so beautiful?
The one with whom I have already
started to plan my life, my life with her. Rather, our lives. The one who is
always in my thoughts, and beautiful they are.
That one who is more important
with each passing second of my life. That one without whom I cannot dream a complete
and blissful life. That one who is now the love of my life, in fact, that one is
my life now.
That someone is Sucheta, my
fiancé and my would-be better half.
What my friends has to say-I would divide my friends in two
categories. First ones who are unmarried and will crib after reading this and second
are the ones who are married and will still crib after reading this write-up. A natural
reaction after reading this write-up will be that I am out of my senses and am
on cloud 9. Hawa mein uud raha hoo My
answer to such a reaction will be-
For those who are unmarried- You
have to be in a relation to feel this. It’s a feeling that can only be felt but
difficult to describe.
For those who are married- You
guys have already been through this feeling and you know exactly what I am
trying to convey. Shadi is a motichoor ka laddu and I want to have it.
Excited? Yes I am. With a feeling of excitement, and at the same
time being nervous, I and Sucheta have taken first step for our togetherness.
Getting engaged on last 21st was just the first step of wonderful
times ahead. And I know in the store of time more happy times are waiting for
us.
Amen.

friends who were not present at the ceremony.
