How I Met HIM

I came here to add a post after many many years and found this post which was written but never posted. So posting this first.

 Got a mail asking How you met your Valentine -  as part of Valentines Day Celebrations in office - which made me scribble down a few words. It was quite difficult to write after such a long time. I didnt know what to do with it as I didnt intend to send the entry for any competition.Then I remembered my long forgotten blog. Here is an addition to it..

I met him on a Valentine’s Day. I am not sure if it was sheer co-incidence or if poor Cupid was trying to send some signs to me.

He joined my team on Feb 14 2011. As usual, we were not that comfortable when someone new joined our gang. But slowly he made a place of his own in our pack. While Cricket World Cup Fever, Movie discussions and his deadly PJs set the beginning of our acquaintance, unexpected network outages affirmed it. From teammates we grew into good friends gradually. We hardly ever talked outside our friends circle or called each other, but through the years a sense of mutual respect grew within us. Then in a sudden twist of tales, there arose a suggestion of tying our friendship in a nuptial knot. The thought was so disturbingly new that two people who never missed a chance of pulling each others leg,  found it difficult to make even eye contact [atleast I did]. After the initial shock, the question I pondered over shifted from why to why not. There was the fear of risking the friendship  as well as  the wish to be there for each other for a lifetime. We talked out our apprehensions, insecurities  and finally decided to take things forward. Thus with everyone’s blessings, we entered the wedlock. Over the past year he is under the process of clearing off the misconceptions he had of me. He also agrees to the fact that his patience , culinary skills, anger management capabilities, ability to appreciate and find happiness in smaller things in life [like peaceful nap and edible food ] and a lot more has improved drastically post marriage.Yours truly is glad to have contributed to make her better half better :-)
