For all those who believe in God - God couldn't be everywhere, every time. Hence he created angels to watch you, to help you succeed, to cushion you when you fall, to hold your hand and get you back on your feet, to give you the gentle push you need, to propel you ahead. I have been blessed with many such angels, who've guarded me with their lives, who's endless support has been my wall, who've pillars of my strength. This post is about one of them.
Year 2003, First semester BE ECE, Physics lab:
Lecturer : All of you form groups of 2 and conduct the experiment.
Being the little, shy me back then (I know, hard to believe now!!!), I look around with a blank expression. Someone choose me please!!!
I saw people pairing up, like they knew each other for ages! Suddenly my eyes fell on this lovely lady, who sported a similar blank expression on her face. Both of us gave an acknowledgement nod to one another and there you go.. my first ever lab partner!
It hardly took me any time to warm up to her, as her innocence was extremely endearing. Till date I keep wondering, how can someone so beautiful have such a clean heart! - A quality, that I am sure all of you agree, is quite frankly ENDANGERED!! Her focus in life is as brilliant as it can get. (I wish I had 10% of it! sob sob)
The "swan princess" as I call her, has been an integral part of my life since that day in the lab. The "head and bushy bushy tail", "hanging upside down", "is this an age to faint" makes absolute sense with her. (If you haven't understood what the above phrases mean, then probably you are not supposed to! please read further!)
Our long walks in the college grounds, even longer talks in our "sacred" midnight convos, joint attacks on a certain "earthling" I know are memories that I shall always cherish!
Often, I would be apprehensive about her life ahead. Someone with this kinda purity and innocence deserved someone equally special to hold her hand and share her life. Someone who knew the worth of what he had and would treasure her for life. Someone who would consider her smile precious but her tears priceless and would never let them trickle down. All my fears vanished when he did make an entry! My first few words to him were "take care of her". I never had to say those words again, it was pointless! She was his queen from then, for ever.
I watched her on that stage, greeting people with her beautiful smile, knowing a lotta things were about to change and wishing the change is acceptable! Things have gone topsy-turvy since then. But its only managed to strengthen our friendship. As I see her today, living her dream, striving to make it the best she can, I feel extremely proud to be a part of her journey.
Today, the happy couple celebrate 3 years of happiness. I find it tough to digest that its already been this long! In these 3 years, I've seen her grow from a girl to a woman, a journey well supported and enriched by her other half (won't call it better coz you two are beyond that!!) Her madness is still intact (Mr "Swan Princess", my condolences are with you!!)
So here's to one of the best couples and best individuals I've had the good fortune to know, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! I wish you a lifetime of bliss and good luck!
