It seems just yesterday when we both met for the first time in our lives more than a decade back. Gosh! how 12 years have passed I seriously have no clue. The very fact that I have no idea how these years passed simply prove that I have had more than my share of happiness all through this time.
I clearly remember that on this date back then I was in my first year of my graduation and had attended the Dance event at the Spic Macay event organized at the auditorium of my faculty. I do not remember what dance form was performed, but if I am not wrong it was Manipuri dance form performed by 2 talented danseuse that day.
Those days I had no good clothes to wear. So, I had borrowed my room mate's salwar kameeez and had completed the entire look by wearing glass beads earrings gifted to me by my beloved Rita aunty.
It was a purple colored bandhani suit and there were no proper shoes to go with it so I had worn my floaters with them. A dreaded fashion faux that I can never commit today. But those days I had no money to afford looking good. I barely had enough clothes to wear a week without repeating any. (jeans not to be included)
After the event I had gone for a quick bite at a restaurant nearby my hostel. And that was the first time I met the man who happens to be my husband today. Though I am more comfortable calling him my best friend, a friend who has stood by me through all my ups and downs, majorly downs.
Many a times we hear that cliched phase "everything is in destiny", and on a day like today, that saying could not be more true. I do not know what my life had had been, if 12 years back I had not met him on this day, 5th of September, 2000.
Everything indeed happens for a reason. The significance of this phrase is apt in my case to the T. Back then in those days I was terrified of my life, had no clue what to do. Through all the upheaval I went through then, he always guided me to the right path, even when he was himself unclear of my decision of giving him a chance in my life. I was so damn pettily stuck with my life that I had no place for him or for that matter for anyone. In those times I never had thought of spending my life with him. Though gradually life took turn in the right direction, and I got stable in all the spheres of my life. Well as a matter of fact, I am rather doing too well today. I feel immensely blessed to pen this post today. I thank my stars for meeting him and being a part of him. All I can say is a big TOUCHWOOD.
Waiting for him to come home, then we will go out to have Chinese to celebrate the 12th anniversary of the day of our first meeting.
