Pleased to meet you, Venky: An incomplete post to a soulful completion!

Hi,

So finally we meet...and you actually end up liking me, am glad!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I went to clean up my draft after almost a year of blogging.....the above were the words that I saw.
I do not know what was going on in my mind when I wrote this, but as I got thinking I wondered why did I marry you!

Now, after a year and a half of meeting you, Eureka!I finally got it.

1. You are not my knight in the shining armour!You see me as an independent unit...let me take my own decisions unlike the very stereotyped allegations that-- a husband has to take care of his wife.She is his responsibility.You know it unnerves me and you so easily adapted to my needs.I get floored every time I think of it.
2. You give a direction to my impulse and dreams! You do not put down my aspirations, even if it sounds very weird to you.You help me find a direction to fulfil them for me!A NO, always bugs me, but a solution to satisfy my needs or wants gives me a direction and hence a goal.10 million brownie points for you for that!
3. You love me, realistically! Somewhere, you defy all my notions of a classic romance.I have come to realise that true love is all about standing up for each other in difficult times.And that is exactly what you do.I know how stressed you get, but you still don't give up on 'US'!I am glad that occasional pampering also happens..so please don't forget that too. :P !

Stay like this, Venky...being with you makes me feels there is so much more to learn, explore..each day together!

Yours,

Venky's bride
