Love you Hamesha...

It’s been sometime I see; since I blogged. Not that my life was sans any happenings...  A lot happened over the time since my last proper blog. Fights, 2nd USA visit, mom's operation, my ALMOST-wedding (yeah almost that is what it was!!!), some agreement from my parents (my Mom only precisely speaking!!) in the Typhoon hit sea of disapproval from my parents on my wish to marry Devika. And hey how can I forget the 13 failed interviews when trying to jump?? And, that regular jogging since two months, that is showing no results!!! But this is not about the latest things in my life but a little flashback - retrospection...

Apart from those visible changes a lot has changed in me. A lot of me have changed. I have (I don’t know) matured into a more boring and less active person. All through this process I had one person who had to bear the brunt of this changed personality. Devika or my mashe (as now we have ended up calling each other!!! its funny isn't it calling each other MASHE). The last few years 2-2.6 years of my life that i have known have been; how should I say, ROCKING (literally!!).

Yes since the first day of seeing her in the meeting room (supposed to be for Developers only) I saw her first (rather second coz I had already noticed her in the corridor when I was coming to office that day). Heaven didn’t open its door nor did birds start chirping, Nah!! not even saxophone played. Hell! no current go off in the current-cut season. Ok, I just noticed her of the many people in the room. But yeah over the time I got to know her more, I realized that I had a good memory of this first day and in turn her. I was nobody like the guy she wanted - no thick mushy, no artistic inclination, NOT GOOD MALAYALAM, rather not a mallu at all as she puts it at times. She used to hate my Koracha Korach Malayalam speaking skills (now that is something which she loves so much that she has asked me NOT EVER learn Malayalam). Opposites attract or we were meant to be together - call it anything, we hit well. Yes we hit quite soon, quite well I have to say. We soon started mailing each other and over few months’ time phone (thanks to a stranger named Aref, who would never know what importance he played in my (our) life). So to make it short,  Pehle yaar and then pyaar. Ye to hona hi tha.

And, ahem!! I proposed to her..... Yes I did!! I proposed on a late night 24th Feb. Which was responded to me back something like this - "I wish I could give you back what you gave me!!". Believe me I thought that was the ever diplomatic statement from girls that has an inclination towards meaning like this - I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT YOU LIKE THIS EVER!!! The next day saw her getting me an expensive chocolate for me (expensive by that time standards, it was Mars.. or was it Snickers? Ok Let’s settle for Snickers). She did reciprocate my love/feeling over another late nightly conversation; of a day that had begun with laughter and fun end with fight and tears and this disclosure - on 28th Feb. Since then the days ahead have been a mixed bag of goodies. A lot of water has flown under the bridge after that. I have asked my parents a million times (ok I am lying, a hundred times!!!) with no positive sign and she in turn denying any proposals that came by her way. And over the time I changed from this cute, sweet, guy next door into this rough, fowl-mouthed-rogue. And in turn she changed from a loud-mouthed always scolding person into a meek terrified lamb (sometimes she was an angry cat!!! but then that’s a different story).

I have to say, I have come to know a lot about myself during this interval of time. And, a lot about her also. She is this sweet, VERRRY loving and very sensitive girl.  She shows her feelings as is. And I think I am truly lucky persons to actually be in the receiving side of all this goodies. Did I mention that I also happen to be in the receiving side of a lot of other things I didn't want to? Well then let me not bring that up when I am speaking all good things here ;-)... But on a serious note, being a relationship requires that we go above the Creamy layer. I mean know each other above the goodness that sparkles when we are starting a relationship - the good the bad and the ugly of it. That, if we can live through will help us live a healthier and happier life ahead. Well that’s theory OK with some sparkle or truth in it. There are many commons between us too if I missed mentioning it earlier - FOOD and MOVIES and BOOKS being on top of it. She likes singing, and even more when she is praised ;-). So I am not exactly in the top of the list when she has to sing to someone. Psst... I secretly am so happy that she is such a nice singer. What an A$$#*%!@ when it comes to saying it on the face - Yeah me, myself I am talking about. Also she is this self-acclaimed (and precisely so!!!) good cook. No great cook. Her fish curry and avial are to die for!!! SSssss sssshhh..  do I smell someone burning out of jealousy... LOL.... well no I guess.. Where do I have such a big visitor base?
