Peace

Nothing left to prove,
nothing left to say,
nothing which has to be pushed to make it move,
finally nothing to keep me away!

No longer do I live for a day which might never come,
Iv begun to enjoy the today, even if its not all but just some.

If the today is so nice,
I see no reason why my tomorrow would be anything otherwise!

Finally, the eternal optimist in me has woken up again!!!! :)

Fairytales!!!

In 32 days the Google-Microsoft match is finally gonna take place. The wedding i have been waiting for since very long now. Geetanjali, the friend who has this knack of seeing through my actions with brilliance. My biggest critic. My biggest strength. And my most honest friend. My polar opposite. Calm, quiet & truly a person of few words. But since the day we became friends, its been a journey with so many cherished memories. The mere thought of seeing her as a bride fills my eyes with tears. The same 8th standard looking girl who used to share sunkey aloo with me in college is now gonna be Mrs. Geetanjali Garg in just 32 days!!!!!!!! Although il miss her a lot when she will go to Hyderabad but the very fact that she is gonna be with Manas for the rest of her life makes me feel so happy for both of them. Manas & Geetanjali have truly made me believe that when two people want to spend their life together then nothing in this world can really stop them. No distance. No time. Just nothing can let you be apart if you both are equally sure about each other. And that's what both of them have been. It was certainly not a cake walk to bring everything & everyone around, but as Suvidha says "if you want something then you might as well want it badly enough"!! :)


This makes me connect another dot. Suvidha & her Shriram! How they met was truly so filmy!!!! Right infront of me & geetanjali!! Suvidha also would relate to geetanjali's feelings when she says "At that time, Manas was probably the last person in the world I'd go out with :P". That day none of us would have thought that two people so different from each other like Shriram & Suvidha would soon end up dating each other & then eventually getting married. But today when they are together, one finds that no other two people could have been more perfect for each other. My mirror image truly found her perfect match & how!!

Now comes my rockstar!! Yesssss Roli, thats what i fondly call her. Once again so different from her better half, Pranav. But when one sees both of them, you just cant help but say that "wow, i wish i have a marriage like that"!!! Such amazing understanding & sense of comfort in one's skin & each other's presence is truly amazing & hard to find in the world where people are constantly trying to change each other. Roli is my only friend who had an arranged marriage. But when i look at her & Pranav together all i tell roli is "you married the best man"!!!! I guess that sums up all!!! :)


And then comes the couple who would never make you feel that they are married, instead if you visit their place you get a feeling as if they are just living-in together. Having said that, they complement each other so well that one can't help but say "awwwww". Yes that has to be Mahima & Ankit. A couple who are more like friends when they are with friends & yet play their roles to the hilt when it comes to spending family time!

And now comes someone whom i have looked up to since the day we met. My boss, my mentor & my friend. How over these three and a half years he played these three roles in my life is truly amazing. A person whom i can fall back on in life where ever i may go. Today he is finally hitched!!!! And I couldn't have been more thrilled because its Nupur!!!! No one deserves to be with this real dude more than her. Finally he did find his "monica"!!! :D


These are few couples who touch my life in their own ways almost everyday. And after meeting & seeing them together I feel that one day everything does fall into place & all those pieces which didn't, was because it was not their place. As Randy Pausch said in his book The Last Lecture before he died : “Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want something badly enough. They are there to keep out the other people.” :)

This post goes out for all these couples who always made me believe that each one of us have a fairy tale. Some just find theirs sooner than the others. :)
