I still remember the day when I saw you for the first time, it was one of my favourite months, February, 2016. I still laugh at me thinking, "was it really necessary to do shaving now, I'm getting late dude?" I asked myself looking at a broken, an old mirror in the typical Indian hair saloon. I was afraid if he could make any cuts to my face skin. "Brother, do it slowly, I'm not at all in hurry). It was all that has happened a few minutes before I saw you for the first time.
That day, like a hero I made my entry almost late with heavily pounding heart, being thoughtful and carrying countless curiosity. Thus, to know whom I was about to meeting. For a while, I thought, I am sitting in the 'White House' it was that silence in my heart, I couldn't hear anything but spying at your grand entry. While others were having 'kanda pohe' a well known breakfast in Maharashtra. The hot waft of Poha made me comfortable, slowing down the rhythm of my heart and asured me that the girl I am going to see in the next minutes is skilled homemaker. I didn't know that those moments could seized forever. Therefore, those moments becomes lifetimes archives, the gallery of our memories.
Dear Swati,
You have given me so much in life, your countless contributions in shaping and developing me aren't less than a billion dollars appreciation. I have never thought of name, Swati could be my lifetime companion ever in my past before we met. This life since then became yours instead having our fighting, arguing, bad communication, misunderstanding and so on.
However, my heart accepted it happily, I accept that we learn every step and stages of our life. When I started learning about the numbers, I had never thought that number 1 and 9 could sail in the same boat.
Once I had read that number 9 people are so bossy and short temper, they need according to them and at the same time, they are universal lover. And thus, I am glad that I found you.
I know that the life is an experiment, experiences and it proved that adding 1 to 9 becomes number 1. Yes, we both are now number one, made for each other.
I couldn't imagine this life without you, your morning tea, tasty food, your concerns on phone calls, arguments, suggestions and being bossy tone to me. I learnt living with it.
I will always make your to be a good husband, father, brother, friend and son of my parents and in this journey your immense partnership and advice is very crucial. I hope we will always walk together to make this life more beautiful than it is today.
I am luckiest person to have you in my life and thus our kids too. I wish you Happy Birthday, abundance of health and happiness to your way.
