Two Years – Not very Different!

I have always wondered on the credibility of those messages on people’s walls reading “years went like minutes” or whatever else. I felt they were often posted for the drama, the many “likes” and of course the “comments” to give the whole event a perspective / give the better half a sense of I don’t know how to describe that feeling, so I will pass with the fear of being misquoted / misrepresented. 😉

It has been 2 years to the day that I tied the knot, two and a half years since I said the eternal “yes” to tying the knot, 5 since we decided we were in on this one for life and over 7 since at least one of us knew the other was the perfect one (To be more precise in giving credit, My wife). Life has been good, with its fair share of complications and to be honest, I can party hard with my friends without being worried like most DINKs (In fact my wife offers to pick me up), I can throw all the parties I care to (She offers to cook), rely on someone to run my business for me (She runs the show – I sign the Cheque), work late and be home well past what most people term sane hours, go play cricket all weekend (She comes out to cheer for me and the team – often the only woman with in a few tens of miles around the ground) among many other crazy things only she would ever understand, respect me for and love me for who I am. It is a great feeling and an absolute pride  (No exaggeration) to know that regardless of what happens with everything else – I have a shoulder to rest on, a hand to hold and best of all be Myself around one person in this entire world.

She wrote on me a testimonial in early ’05, which goes something like – “ The best kind of friends are those, who can sit on the porch for hours without saying a word to each other and walk away hours later, feeling better and like they just had the best conversation” – I am sure she would agree, we have spent innumerous of those good days, long days / hard days / feels like end of the world days followed by that special “conversation”. It has in many ways defined the respect we share, the goals we share and most important of all the life we share.

I am not saying anything different from what I always did, I am only reminiscing what we stand for, what we mean to each other, and the simple fact that today, like everyday, I have rediscovered the love we share, and I am Love again today.
We have been through times, some of which were the most amazing ones, some not so amazing, some we wish had not happened, most importantly, we have stood the test of time, we have not lost ourselves, but in fact have found / rediscovered ourselves each time things seemed bad, and shared the happyness for all the little wins…Here’s to the relationship we share, to the pursuit of happyness, a promise of good times to come, and hoping that the insanity we share lasts forever!

Wish you a Happy Anniversary My Love! Thank you for remaining the person I met 7 years ago, and allowing me to be the guy I have always been … To the bestest wife on the planet … ! I am sure someone up there is indeed very happy with me, blessed!

P.S: Of course, more than ever, today I have realized precisely what people mean when they say “years went like minutes”, I respect those wall posts more, the likes are much appreciated and the comments taken in the spirit they are meant for.

May the Insanity Last Forever!
