...a TRUE fairy tale....

..She was 18 n he was 26 when they met for the first time..h was lukin for his soulmate..n she wasnt aware dat he was lukin for "her"...it was through matrimonial alliance in d newspaper that "he" came to know about "her"..n "he" approched "her" father..strict, discplined army officer (d girl's father) invited him to their house..usual "dekhne" ka silsila hua.."he" fell for her instantly but "she" was a little scared..as she felt it was too soon for her to get into a lifelong relation.."they" both decided to give time to each other..n hence.."knowin each ither" ka silsila hua.."he" wooed "her" in d best possible way..n "she" realised no one could ever make her feel lke a princess d way "he" does..so..it was decided that they would soon tie d knot..
..so far it sounds like a normal arranged marriage story..but here comes d twist..
..4 years after their marriage...one day "she" woke up only to realise dat she has got completely paralyzed upto neck..it came as a rude shock to every1(she was a national player of hockey)..she had a family of "him",two kids & mother in law to take care of..doctors lost hope..said only a miracle can cure her..
.."her" father came to take her back forever..but "he" refused..statin dat "she" is my wife..for better & for worse...!!!..n "he" devoted himself completely in curin her..
..while she started recovern.."he" was diagnosed wid an incurable heart disease and was admitted in the same hospital..now she wud drag herself...hold d wall n walk..jus to b wid "him"..
...slowly..gradually..both of them recovered..but the aftereffects are still there.."he" motivated "her" to work..n "she" gave him courage to keep on going..n together "they" wer each other's strength..
...now they have 3 ( i take d liberty to add : wonderful) daughters...a well settled life...n a life to look forward to..
but the past lingers..n "they" look behind at it wid a smile..it was only because they wanted to be together..for each other n because of each other...the relation which has withstood the cruelities of life...n bonded even better wid the passage of time is what keeps them goin..
...in few days time "they" would be celebratin 25years of their "togetherness"...those fights..arguements..teasin..irritatin each other..toleratin each other..n still "being wid each other"..for BETTER & WORSE!!!...
......smilin thru d tears..
..being wid near & dear..
..puttin wid ur fights..
..findin life tight..
..still..u wer d one..
who is d "only" one..
..my worst fears...wer lost in ur arms..
..was bowled over by ur charms..
..u listened to my dreams..
..n made them come true..
..i never had to speak..
..for u alwez knew..
..our long conversations..
..those silent discussions..
wenever i faultered..u wer there to hold me..
n in ur eyes i could see..
the love for "me"..n only "me"..
"WE" hav crossed dat stage..
of "childish immature infatuation" for each other...
..n hav reached an age..
of.."realisin & cherishin individualities" of each other..
"WE" hav seen d sunrise..n d sunset..
..hav passed all d cruel tests...
..of life..
n in ur arms..i rest..
to dream a better tommorrow..
..better than yesterday..
..n i know..it will b so..
..for we are wid each other..
....a request..a wish..a prayer..
..b wid me forever..
for now m used to
..being "complete"..!!

...Her engagement..introduction to mine ;)

Dear Chhavi..This post is dedicated to u for it was u who made me see the other side of grass ( life ;)...well..this post is to describe her engagement..and coincidentally it was Pankaj's engagement as well n the heights of coincidence was dat they wer gettin ngaged to each other... ;)

..n D Day decided was 31st Oct'08...after bein into a virtual relation for four+ years...they wer now gettin into another relation for d lifetime...ngagement is jus a semiofficial stamp ;) (crude but true)

we reached jaipur few days prior to D DAY..."cousins get together.."..n all those who met us were like.."kitni badi ho gayi hai sheel ki betiyaan" n i dint knw wether to thank god or not for our uninterrupted growth process...but its a common dialogue of the relatives world across!!

meetin XTENDED family was fun..n pain as well for all they kept on talkin was my marriage n i was supposed to be nice..decent..sweet..carin..charmin...(not dat m not already..but had to add a little XTRA ;)..to all of them..

..now lets talk about chhavi..afterall this post is dedicated to her ;)..needless to mention, she was lukin very gud..wont give the entire credit to the beatucian..it was more cuz of d glow on her face..she has known Pankaj for ages..but the desperation with which she was lookin forward to meetin him again was sumthin!!..i guess it happens when u r in lov..she wasnt able to smile quite often for she laughs more dan she smiles ;)..and yes..d best part was when the photographer asked her to walk slowly..(she was rushin to d stage) n to blush a little..!!then she realised dat her eagerness was clearly visible..lolz..

the entire function was CONDUCTED (we wer d conductors;) smoothly with few usual xcitin hiccups..n then she was announced formally ngaged to Pankaj..my mother cried..dunno for whom-me,pankaj or chhavi ;)

hey..now d moral of d story-it was a great experience for HER..for she got ngaged..it was great ocassion for US..for we njoyed a lot..n a learnin lesson for me who believes dat one shud get into ANY relation when one is ready..wait for THE right one..but at times we dont realise dat THe one might be just around and we overlook him / her for we are ALWAYS searchin for some one else..dear "h'ble" readers...i'v seen so many people gettin into/out of relations..some even continuin..but its one feelin not worth missin!!!

Dear Pankaj and Chhavi..wish you all the luck for your life..may God bless you..n may God give me enough courage to come out my "commitment phobia"..lov u guys!!!
