Aww! Late again In di! Ad and all! What a beautiful special part of your life you have shared with me! I feel blessed. Did you feel a connect In di? Coz I know exactly what you feel. Marriage is not just ritual. But in the eyes of the society and somewhere at the back of your mind the question of validity lingers. I can imagine the joy that burst through your heart when rabbi acknowledged your do dil ek dhadkan togetherness of 28 years. What you knew as true so long in your soul he validated in the house of God. Even God has to bend down to true love such is its power.

Since you have shared this with me I want to tell you and all my friends on the thread that parents, especially mine were against our marriage because though we belong to same religion, we are from different communities. Then there was the major financal angle.Since my asr is my age, he was not what they call "settled" and was frantically looking for a job. One day in july 1995 he called me and said, "Let's get married." It meant he had a job in hand! But salary was around Rs, 4000 and I was working as a part timer in a college. Betwn us we had all of rs 6000.

All we wanted was for our parents to give us a loan for a few months coz we were convinced that together we would make it in life. They accepted grudgingly.

In December,the day of my mehendi my hubby got a huge promotion and a huge raise. And he has never looked back since. We have lived life like we wanted to since then, living our dreams, travelling the world.

Oh and six months after marriage I cleared the ugc national and state level test that made me eligible for lectureship and I got a permanent job.

Above all my parents and my entire family saw in him what I did and his family saw in me what he did! We got validity for a belief that love can overcome all.

thanks so much, chalhov... these are lovely. great to see you... shaadis keeping you away? aww. december is that sort of time. i remember mine being full of mad fun and relatives from all over, mother got terrifically into it and almost all my aunts and uncles came to calcutta. a week and more of noise and cousins and me yelling because i disagreed with everything as usual. i miss my mum whenever i think of my wedding. how much she wanted this to be the best day of my life, the most perfect shaadi. and she lost her voice bang on the day of wedding. good to see you. enjoy the weddings.

aaa. okay, you are forcing me to be unfaithful to my one and only old man., han solo, harrison ford, i am weeping... with wanting and joy. oh oh oh. just look at the strangely beautiful man.

okay, now i shall read what you write, faiqa.😃

thank you for every word up there. but sach baat is it's not such a great deal... and actually i am a pretty not quite right wife and he is a faaar from perfect husband. but one thing is there.. that feeling we have for each other. really nothing else. and yes, neither one of us is basically "off" as people. flaws, plenty... but no real meanness or nastiness. that is hard to live with. and if you manage to, it sort of destroys you in the process.

but i do thank you for what you say about the virtual buddy thing ... and though i may rarely say it, because i am actually not the type to say nice things... each one of you is a gift to me. i mean just look at all of you... each one gives me so much...

and you, my dear, are one red hot chilli pepper, may you always have the strength the joy and and that fabulously quick mind.

er, you too nuts about the ford man? i lau him.

BTW, becos its YOU, i looked up for the meaning of brown/ chacolate pearls.. here is what I found...

Brown -

Surely describes our man. doesn't it!!

Thanks for this beauty Arshi!
