1st March - This day has become a special day in my life after marriage –
J graced mother earth on this day some 4 and a half decades back. I am
being very tactful in not revealing his age here – see I am a good wife, but you guys can be sure he is older than me
** wicked grin**. Isn’t it the Indian
norm in arranged marriages? Have no
doubt and read on.
Anyways, he is not the one to go gaga on his birthdays, like
me. Its just another day for him. In fact,
he says he started celebrating his birthdays at home only after our
marriage. I have this great inability to
keep my cool on such special days and would have prepared for surprises and
would be totally overexcited.
This being a Sunday, the mass was at 9.00 so we do not have
to miss our morning walk. Oh, have I
told you that he never allows me to go alone for the morning walk after that
accident, if he is in town? I was being extra nice to him since it was his
birthday, and truly wanted him to feel special.
So we were walking and we crossed the lily pond, which is my
favorite spot in the walking track. I
have many times mentioned to J, that this pond looks lovely and the lilies are
so cute and explicitly told him a couple of times that I wanted a lily from the
pond. The first time he gave me that
look which said “Are you crazy?”, the second time my pragmatic hubby told me
very openly, I should be insane to jump and do all the stuff that you ask me to
L. With the dreams of holding a lily shattering
right there, I had moved on long ago. I know my man means business and a No is
a No.
That Sunday, we took a U turn at our regular spot and walked
back along the pathway, crossing the
lily pond again, me still talking, I do
not remember about what.
Out of the blue, J stopped and said “ I think I should try
it today”and did something that totally took me by surprise.
Certain emotions needs no words, and will get the pictures do the talking from here on...
The diamonds that he has bought me fades in front of this water lily. I feel like a new bride on honeymoon :-) :-) My eyes refuse to stop shining and I am over the moon.
I guess these random acts of love are what makes successful marriages :-)

ReplyDeleteI can understand ( not fully though) - men seem to find it difficult to impress women. it is a bit easier the other way round
