What is marriage? Is it just taking seven circles around the sacred fire and filling the partings with vermillion and tying nuptial chain around the neck? Is it just about physical intimacy? Is it just about completing duties?
No. It's so much more than that. It means fulfilling those seven promises you take in front of Fire God. It's about putting those red colored vermillion in your partings wishing your husbands longevity even if it's just a myth. It means sharing your life with someone else for the rest of your life. It means bearing two bodies with souls merged as one.
Marriage is so much more than just saying good morning, good night and a duty bound "I love you". It means being tied in such bond in which love possess a completely different face. Silent yet sweeter that honey drops that reaches the heart like silent flowing water and give you strength and peace. In marriage bond love possess the face of that drunkard wind that comes like a storm and rearranges your life with so much different emotions that get lost in the addiction. In marriage love possess the face of a faceless, nameless feelings which you try hard to name but fails again and again.

He taught her how to fly again. He taught her how to trust again. Like his name, he came as a light in Vividha's life which had been filled with dark poisons.

We don't know where this relationship will end. We don't know where the ending is. But the journey is so harmonious and sweet that it will always be painted in the heart of the people forever..
