Our Second Marriage Anniversary

Yesterday marked our second marriage anniversary. We've married for two years now!! A whole two years! Or... Only two years! Crazy!! It's been awesome. Anyone who has been in a long-term relationship and married, understands that being a husband or wife comes with a great deal of responsibility. Along with deciding about the nit-picks of the daily routine and how each partner prefers things to get going, is the implicit understanding that the relationship needs a number of things to make it work. In those two years we’ve: we've learned SO MUCH.

The learning has been the greatest gift I’ve gotten from my marriage. And it’s been short, so I can only imagine how much I’ll have learned years fom now! AM and I are so similar and dissimilar in so many ways, and we think about and approach the world in very much the same ways – so it’s been specially interesting to learn about and observe the differences between us. AM has taught me a lot about patience, being cool-headed, and value of being together.

I’m one lucky gal, and in celebration of two awesome years of marriage to such an amazing person I wanted to share my thoughts for since our day of wedding. I didn’t share them till date, so I thought now might be a good time! I was feeling all gooey and mushy those days as our anniversary was approaching, and wanted to share just how freaking in love I am!

*********************************************************************
I knew when I first met you that you were my best friend.  You have taught me how to love better, love stronger, and love deeper than I ever thought that I even could.  You have made me a better person, and I have learned to love myself by seeing myself loved by you.  With you I have learned to be calm.  With you I have learned to be brave.  And with you I have learned the true meaning of partnership.
 
I am so excited for our lifetime of adventures:  I want to never stop learning together, and within reason, never stop making our major life decisions in a unusually impulsive fashion together.

I am so grateful that I have the privilege of spending the rest of our lives holding you up, holding you close, standing behind you and standing beside you.  I am going to push you to be everything you can be, and I know I can count on you to do the same for me.  I will care for you, for our children, for our home.  I’m going to make sure you fly, in every sense of the word.

Every day I am in awe of the kind, gentle, loving, and honest person you show yourself to be, to me and to the world.  I have said all these things to you before, and I will try to say them to you everyday for the rest of our lives – But I want to tell you here in front of the people that have made us who we both are, that I love all of your everything with all of my everything.

Doodles of a Delirious Mind!

Today after a sabbatical, am back with my bloggin'.. my last post was way back in May.. and now its November.. grey melancholia mood of winter is setting in during the morning hours.. maybe the afternoon warm Sun melted my heart and nudged me to reach out for my blog.. all this while I have just become more of a slothball.. the practice is gone and so is the touch and urge to write. Gone are the days when I started blogging enthusiastically, when I discovered I could write and express myself by writing - but "lyadh" gets the better of me. Its not good.. Started doing Facebook jus' out of curiosity, it helps but it destroys also. The creativity subsides. People just goes gaga over FB - they get a lot of friends and 'friends' and 'cheap popularity' (sarcasm fully intended). Despite repeated promises to my diary aka blog that I will be back, I never returned. And the blog has become like some old diary lying in the attic covered in dust. But they have been good friends, but whatever, doesn't matter...... see my habit is gone.. this is just bakwaas stuff!!

Watched Rockstar. Blown off!!! And we still have people sayin' Bodyguard and Dabaang are good movies!!! Yuk!!!! Sometimes I keep asking myself are we so dumb to love such films or is it just they have forgotten how to react.. I feel pity for all those who didnt like RS cause they are the backward lot who rarely cares about emotions!!

Talking of emotions, my mind strucks over love, the strongest of'em all as am heading towards my 2nd marriage anniversary.. time just flew by, and now after reachin' at this point of my life I can give a word or two lecture about marriage - marriage is just like walking on a tight rope, all about balance, comfort and compatability. This is the greatest institution where two people with varied interests one from Venus and the other from Mars work together to raise a family.

Knowing a stranger, sharing room and other stuffs with him or her, and then working on with little differences is itself an endless journey. Some long arguments on pity and silly issues like how to cut cauliflowers small or big florets (trust me even more silly than this) these are small packets and parcels of married life, when delivered you have to accept it with true spirit.

Often surprises keeps this relationship live and happening, it sometimes gives immense pleasure to discover a new thing about your partner, the inner qualities and virtues which are somehow shielded from the outer world.

Thanks A to be with me in every walk of my life. Love you more with each passing day..!! :-)
