Yes, its time to proceed forward to the next phase of my life. In the recent past, I had some hot and casual discussions with my friends and colleagues on the topic "Arranged Marriage Vs Love Marriage". Especially, with my German friends and colleagues, it was tough to explain/support the arranged marriage concept, as its almost history in their culture! Nevertheless, I always accepted that the arranged marriages are a little more difficult to deal with. Choosing the right partner is a challenge in itself and the biggest decision in one's life. Recently, I was again lucky to face a sweet challenge to take a wonderful decision.
S. Anbu Vidhya, when I heard her name for the first time, there was an unknown pull due to its uniqueness and when I saw her photo, her smile made me crazy. She is a Post Graduate in Power Electronics and working as an Assistant Professor at Shanmugha Arts, Science, Technology & Research Academy (SASTRA), a university in Tamil Nadu, India. Our first meet at her house was on Dec 27, 2009, I still remember the feeling cum excitement on that day and it is to cherish forever. After that meet, my gut feeling told me "Vidhya is the person whom I was raring to share my entire life" and went along with it. After casual discussions, we both were happy that our likes and dislikes seem to be matching and we hope and wish to lead a successful life together. It was indeed a pleasure to think like: "Love (Anbu) with Knowledge (Vidhya) when joins with Victory (Vijay) will sure to prosper our life".
Our Engagement happened on the auspicious day of Feb 19, 2010 under the presence of close relatives and friends. With great hopes and dreams, started counting the days for the marriage scheduled on Jun 21, 2010, book your calendar and you all are invited well in advance."Marriage is like a whirlpool, which takes one from a carefree world to a world filled with commitment and sacrifice, with love as its backbone." This quote attracted my attention sometime back and got in as a strong belief. Now gearing up for my next phase with our parent's blessings and wishes from all of you. Meet you soon in my next blog, till then take care, viel spass (have fun)!
