New Beginning
I used to wonder how two strangers can get married and lead an understanding life.. Its so strange..
I too had to meet a stranger and accept to live a life with him. How will it be if the person does not match our character? How will it be if the person's taste does not match our's? How will it be if the person is not able to get along with us? How will it be if the person does not meet our expectations (corporate term :) )?
These questions made me feel that I should not go for marriage unless i gain confidence on these would not happen. Next question that crossed my mind is that, how long will it take for me to gain confidence?
Day came when someone came to see me with his family. I had to tell people if I like him or not. I was not given even few minutes to relax and think. I had to judge him only by his physical appearance. Is it good to judge a person with how he looks from outside? Is it the right way to judge a person? Afterall, its two people's life.
I was not sure if the guy really likes me. I was not sure if I really like the guy. Can anyone risk to spend the whole life with an unknown person? But, that's the way it happens in an arranged marriage. Its all trust.
YES was my response. Heard from people that the guy had also told the same.
Was happy to know that the guy liked me. Still, my mind had few more questions. Did the guy really like me? Will he really treat me with care and affection? Will he be supportive to me? Will he be able to understand me?
With all these questions in the back of my mind, I met him. Just after few minutes of casual chat with him, my mind, the culprit, told me something. But this time, it was different. It just washed away all my fear and the questions which it gave me till then.
It just prompted me to listen to what my heart says.
My heart said he is my guy and all the questions vanished. Strange but true... Heart always wins!!!
I am writing this blog while chatting with the hero of this blog!!!
I always trusted that my dad would get me a good life partner. He has done that. One more dream has come true :)
All is well!!!
