Two years ago...

Hmmm.... so June 12th 2009 came and went. And coincidentally, today, 17th June is the date when I had written my first post about Viju two years back!! Click on the link, and you'll know. Frankly, I added these few lines after I finished the whole post and went back to take a look at the older one :). What shall I call it? Co-incidence? Telepathy? I dont know. But whatever it is, it brings a peaceful smile on my face :).

12th June 2007. It has been two years since then. Viju and I decided to get married to each other on this day. Wow!! How time flies!! It has been a great journey though (I think :D). Not everyone is perfect (I'm "everyone" ;-) :D), neither is Viju, and frankly, nor am I. We've had our share of good and bad times, Happy, angry, excited, distraught, agreeing, arguing, laughing, crying....and so many more that I cant really pen them down. He has been more like my best friend, my anchor, my support system. Of course there have been times when (I'm sure he agrees, coz I've heard him saying "I'm fed up of you!!!" everytime we fight :D) one of us has wanted to just push the other one from the top of a multi-storeyed building, but then it gets overlapped with times when we're just there for each other. One hug does it all - the comforting, consoling, loving, caring, everything. It just says, "I'm gonna be there for you... forever". And one peck on the forehead bolsters it all the more.

Viju and I are very very VERY different from each other. I remember my MIL telling me before marriage, "Swalpa maat kammi aadthaane namm Viju (Our Viju is a guy of few words)". I used to always wonder how it would be with just the two of us in the house. Will it be just me who'll do all the talking (considering I just cannot shut up. Ever.)? Or I'd rather (try to) shut up and let Viju do the talking? But frankly, Viju talks a lot with me (I make him talk :D). In fact, I can talk about absolutely anything under the sun with him...but yes, he is definitely a man of few words. And tell you what, whatever he speaks, always makes sense to me (considering I do get dumb sometimes in front of him :D). He has gone through a lot in life, and has emerged a winner (I'm so proud of him, and proud to be called his wife!!). He has immense patience, a very positive attitude towards life, a great sense of humor and is a complete technology geek. His love for animals is something that I totally adore. I know there is a lot more to still know about him, but I guess I could gather quite a lot in these two years.

With Viju, came the other beautiful relationships that I am blessed to have. My in-laws, chikappa, chikamma, Surya, Omi, Pavi, Pinky, everyone in his family. I am really lucky to be a part of such a wonderful family. A family whose roots are still flowing with love, moral values and respect. The last two years have been like a come back for me into a world of happiness and joy. I guess I wouldnt wanna think of the years before that, coz I know one thing for sure, that when I embarked on this beautiful (yet tough :) Well, thats life!!) journey with Viju, I left behind not only those (good or bad) memories, but also the Savi who went thru all that. Today I am a much peaceful woman, and I'm madly in love with my soulmate. My Best Friend. My Life. Touchwood. :)
