Love & Marriage

It’s been quite awhile since the last post. Been a little busy. Got engaged to a person who I think is the right person, and hopefully life will be more exciting from now on. Apart from the engagement, we have been having a tumultuous coming to terms with the prospect of getting married and many promises from both sides are being committed… and it feels very funny sometimes. Anyway, we argue about everything under the sun… we accuse each other of many things … rules are being set along with boundaries … but the one good thing that I can say about her is that she is consistent with everything that she has told me. Plus my parents and sister and brother … who matter the most … are quite happy with the way things have developed. The to-be is a Major in the Military Nursing Services (MNS) and has come from a village somewhere in Midnapore. They are a family of farmers but I do see and realise the determination with which she has come up in this world from a very ordinary village background. Somehow, to me, she feels right. What is in store for me in future, well I shall leave it up for speculation and enjoy my moments with her as much as I can. 


 


All in all I have spend about 10K in phone bills and every time we decide to cut down on our phone bills, we end up talking for more than an hour. Another good thing is that she has decided to move to Mumbai after marriage and hopefully we will get accommodation in Colaba Base Hospital. It should be a good change of pace for me, living with someone as different as she is. I mean she is extremely the opposite of me… I like reading books and she hates it… she dislikes going to movies and I mostly do so every weekend… she is a good cook, can make womanly things like rangoli and other such stuff quite well.. and I am not even close on those things. Anyway… I do hope that things work out in the best possible way.

Love & Marriage


 

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can’t have one without the other

Love and marriage, love and marriage
It’s an institute you can’t disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it’s elementary

Try, try, try to separate them
It’s an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can’t have one without the other
