An Ode to our Love!!

Image
Today 11-Dec-21 would have been our 10 th marriage anniversary, which we both were really looking forward to. Specially since this would have been our first anniversary with our baby. We would have finally graduated from the couple to being 3 members in the family. So, in this post I will be sharing some of the beautiful memories of our special day. I was reading a book and came across the Chinese concept of “Yuanfen” which essentially means “It is the force of destiny that causes two lives to cross paths in mysterious ways!”. Because if you look at our relationship, it truly was a force of destiny that brought us together, being in two different cities. Maybe we do have some past life connection that you came in life. As you can see in the picture on the side, how it all started with a scrap (message) in Orkut. So that’s how we became from friends. This was the pre-WhatsApp era so we used to look forward to the weekends when we both used to at home (we both were in hostel) and coul

Pregnancy Days!! I am writing this blog as I wanted to capture the last 8 months of our relationship specially when we came to know that we are going to be parents, many of the things you do know, but thought to write it down for memories sake. However, during the initial days of her passing, I was really very angry at God and wished that if she hadn’t got pregnant, then maybe things would have been different. She would not have visited India during the peak of COVID second wave or she could have taken the vaccine. Vaccines were allowed for pregnant women very late. But I feel now that I should see the positive side of things and I am happy that I could experience at least the pregnancy part with you. It is really difficult to put the feelings into words, but I definitely would like to try. Yes, I will never get to know, how we would have been as parents, how you would be like a mother. I still remember the morning of 16th Nov when you woke me up from sleep and informed me that you are

Three months of missing my wifey!

Image
It’s been 3 months since my wife Achu left me for heavenly abode and it has been a very difficult 3 months. I am just penning my thoughts down on the whole grieving process and the traumatic 3 months. The post is a bit jumbled up but do bear with me.  The initial few days, I was in so much shock and pain. I just couldn’t accept that I won’t be able to see, hear or touch you again. I really miss the way you used to call me “Eta” or when I used to call you Achukutty you would reply “Enthoo”. Achu my love, I miss your beautiful smile and all the jokes you used to crack. I miss pampering you, our evening walks, where we used to hold hands and walk. You were my walking radio, always chattering away. Really miss talking to her and sharing all the things which happened during the day. Now when you realize that you can’t just pick up the phone and hear her voice, it’s too painful. We always used to hug or hold hands when going to sleep. And I used to tell her hugging a pillow is not the same a

Visit to Kharghar Hills!!!

Let me share with you a wintry morning in January I spent on the top of Kharghar hills. First of all let me tell you where Kharghar Hills are located. They are a part of the hills covering CBD Belapur on the northwest side and its accessible from the road running parallel to Sion-Panvel Highway. These hills have been declared as a nature park by NMMC and is open from 6.00 am to 6.00 pm. Thanks to the motorable road, you can lose yourself to the bosom of the hill in half-hour ride, which winds up to the top of hill. I started from my home at about 6.00 am on my bike. It was a really nice ride, what with the temperatures well below 20° C, winding roads and greenery on both the sides. I reached the top of the hills at around 6.30 am and the sky was flush with the pre-dawn light. It was really a beautiful sight to behold, which made me happy that I got up early on weekend. The sunrise began at about 6.53 am which gave another colour to the sky as the first rays of the sun began to emerge

Been a really long time....Just some updates about me...

Hi to my few followers, it’s been over a year since I updated my blog. How are you all? If you ask me why I have been not updating my blog, I would say that my last post in April 2010 was praised by you all which made me want to write something even better. But I guess I did not find anything much inspiring to write. Now I realized that I should keep writing then only I can improve on my writing. So before I start with my regular blogs I would like to give you all an update about myself. Here it goes….. Last year July I completed my one year in professional life and I got confirmed in the same firm. During this period I learnt a lot of things, made new friends etc etc..I also realized during this period that the time we spent in college is really a special one…We do have money in our pockets but very little time and company to spend it..but then I can buy the things I always wanted to buy..So with every tradeoff there is something to gain too. Even the no. of calls one gets on his b’d

The day I met her....…..

I never knew that my trip to God’s own country would be special as I only had plans to visit my grandparents and to go for my friend Aswin’s reception…I am glad that I made this trip as I got to see her, one the of most beautiful woman I have seen, my dream girl . Initially I had planned to go for his marriage in Kannur and not visit my grandparents…But I guess fate willed otherwise and I met her, as there was every chance that I would miss her…… Well this incident happened on the 28th of April 2010 when I went for the reception of my friend….I reached his place (reception was at his place) at around 7.30 then met the new-weds, took a pic with them..Then I proceeded for dinner…my dinner was over at about 8.30 and I thought of leaving for my home as my grandparents sleep early. That’s when my friend said that one our classmate is coming and that I could meet him. It was nice to meet him after a year..I gave him company for dinner and as he had to go back to Trivandrum he said he would l

25 years of my Life….

I have been wanting to write on this topic since my 25th b’day (it was in last yr Sept) but never got the interest to do so. But today I feel like sharing with you all some of my experiences in these 25 years of my life. My earliest memories are of our 1BHK house in Gujarat where I had my first best friend -Dipu. It was so much fun roaming around in our tricycles. Then I shifted to another place that when I made a lot of friends but two among them Vivek and Lala were my best buddies..One of my major achievements was when I learnt to dress myself and tie my shoelaces…I had a sense of pride in that as I felt all grown up. Little did I know that it was just a small step in my life… when I was about 5 my sister was born and I was so happy to have her. Before leaving Gujarat we visited a good many places like Dwaraka and Gir forest where we had a real adventure though I was very young to feel afraid of anything, Udaipur in Rajasthan( I was very much impressed with the story Maharana Pratap
