Its a good feeling you know to sit and think back at wot you had said... and know that it really worked out for you the way you wanted it :)

After the word of my engagement was spread, people have given me responses ranging from formal "Congratulations" to utter disbelief and shock... "How cud YOU of all the people accept such a thing as Arranged Marriage?" was a question I have had to answer for quite some times now. And the more I answer them, the more I am convinced that THIS was not meant to happen in any other way !

Well, I came across her photo in a mail and it DID bother me when I felt like re-opening the mail to have a second look. I saw her mail in my mailbox and it DID suddenly make me concious that my reply SHUD make me look GOOD. I checked my mails 5 times in the night to be sure that I read her reply the instant it arrived in my Inbox. And when I spoke 2 her for the first time over phone, I did fumble for the 1st 5 secs.

So now lets look back and wot I had said in my posts about Soul Mates... And here I quote

I believe in soulmates but am sure that my soulmate believes in work-it-outs!! So ven v DO meet (if v hav not already), I hope she believes she can work-it-out coz I for hell will feel the butterflies :)

And am I feeling the butterflies?? Like HELL YES !!

I know you are with someone else,
But I still want my say
Without invading your private space
Or scaring you away.

I respect the choice that you have made
And everything that you decide,
But I would like you to know just one thing,
That I want you by my side.

As a lonely lake deep in the woods
Awaits a cool fresh breeze,
I'll wait here patient for endless time
While you do just as you please.

And the endless wait shall turn into pain
Churning flesh and blood with time
Untill one day this love shall not last
and shall fade away, sublime

And then my heart shall house no fear
for tranquil sails would reign
I shall float away for miles and miles
into worlds unheard, unseen

If u love sumthin truely, set it free. If it comes back to you... it was always yours.. if it does not.. It never was..

Well Well Well... This is the most common sayin Ive heard ppl say ven tey argue bout freedom in relations n stuff like dat. But seldom ppl realize dat though the proverb is really a true depiction of the confidence u mite have on ur luv for that thing/person... it surely does not consider at all the most evil force dat comes into play during dat period.... "Time".. and mayb worse... A realization that it was not sumthin u really wanted after all!!

There was this person I knew who loved his cat dearly... and as cats generally r the "not so loyal" kinds, it often used to venture out n not return for days on end... everytime I asked him bout his cat, he used 2 giv me funda's based on the above proverb. And (being a dog lover myself) everytime I used 2 smile n say... mayb tis time u got urself a dog..

Once, as usual the cat dissappeared into oblivion. D only difference being dat it did not return for an unusually long time. Now my dear owner was pretty worried n waited.. for weeks.. He also launched a mini search party 2 find if Nebody knew where his cat was!! Finally, fearing the worst, he gave up his search... Days vent by ven he wud still keep milk by D door just in case his cat returned.. get extra fish n let it stink n rot in the cats bowl... n finally it dawned upon him dat his cat was never gonna return... So D nxt day he went into the pet shop n brought himself a nice puppy...

Now things changed in his house... areas designated as "Access only for sheeba" (his cat) now changed to "Access only for ceaser" (his dog). Fish got replaced by Bones.. There was no more "Milk" bowls.. and long evenings wud go by in minutes ven he sat playin vit his dog... As much as he luved purring vit sheeba.. he now enjoyed rolling vit ceaser!! And just ven things seemed 2 have settled down... ter she was by the door... sheeba had returned... Her story was a genuine 1 in which she had given birth 2 4 kittens... n so was nurturing them for almost 2 months... But D fact was dat my dear friend was now "Used to" her NOT being there!! Besides he now had a dog which was surely not very compatible vit cats!!

So he did wot he shud hav dun (though with a deep remorse in his heart)... gave sheeba away 2 the pet shop so that she might find another owner!!

And I have watched him closely... Frankly.. I never believed dat he missed her (Xcept for the first few days)..

So if ever u think of letting sum1 walk away... or givin sumthin away just coz u Xpect dat person/thing to return back to you... think 2wice.. For u mite just end up realizing dat der ver other options out there u had never tried!!
