Dearest Ruchi

Myself: “Hey Ruchi,Whats up!!! Kya scene. Kya ho raha hain”

Ruchi: ”Good morning Ashish” or whatever depending the hour of the day I used to call “hanji Ashish, bas accounts laga raheee hunn”

Myself, in a sharp, sometimes harsh, arrogant, exciting, sometimes dull voice "How many account???"

Ruchi “24 ashish, kya karein kam members aye hain” in same voice everytime

Dearest Ruchi,

I don’t know what I would write when there is so much cute things being written and cutee cutee love messages and proposals being exchanged between you and Sanjib. Seems I am out of place.. anyways..

I can write a complete transcript of our conversations which were related mostly to our office work. However, why I wrote these words above was not because I was only remembering the words and sentences we shared but the moments and more importantly your reactions to my concerns and questions. Anyone, who knows you would instantly know how, what would have been your reactions. Tense but at the same time the belief of doing the impossible and achieving the unthinkable. And I think the same thing occurred while entering into a relationship with Sanjib. For the outside world it would have looked sometimes that you were tense(and I bet you were), sometimes not decided, not sure of yourself. But inside knowing what you wanted. And it is good that you made the right decision by choosing Sanjib as the life partner.

I know how you and Sanjib will be feeling right now. You both would feel that you will marry your friend, the one you laugh with, live for, dream with and then finally with whom you fall in love. And this kind of love is really cute and exciting ... In front of my eyes I am remembering my days in my office where I had fallen in love with Dina..

So now you enter a married life with all the best wishes and blessing of friends and elders. But what would be stored in that life.. a very different life.. Well the honeymoon period (well which is not of 10-15 days but 1 year or so) will be the best part of your life. But once that period is over the key later is to be yourself. Wives tend to be overcaring in the initial period and later on take all the blood from husband’s veins… ha ha ha. I am sure you would not do that. And yes please don’t keep on nagging Sanjib as most wives do.. and yes Drink less and make good bengali food for Sanjib.

Now to you Mr. Sanjib,

Thanks for giving this opportunity to write for this site.

The ticker says now 45 days to go for the D day.. I know how men feel about it.. they are more tense than women. But you are a cool guy. So enjoy this part of the life. And one more thing for you. I know you would like this.. “The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer”. Remember it too.

So we all wait for the D day and very much look forward of blogging again on this url when you get married and then return from honeymoon and then the 1st anniversary and then have your kids and then when they turn 18 and I teach them all about love on the same blog.. In other words live a very happy life together and remember the time will pass like this ticker very quickly so enjoy the each and every part of it as much as possible.

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.”

Again wishing you all the best for your married life,



Ashish
