Our Story
How did we meet?
Disclaimer: This is Bride's version
It was one of those lovely November mornings..The cool warmth (yes! u heard it right) in the breeze gave me a tickling sensation.( Okay! Wait!! Don't go berserk and run away, this is how all the love stories start :P )
First Impressions:
We knew little about each other through common friends before getting introduced.
From what I heard from our common friends, I thought he was a Stud ( Good sense of humor, IIT tag, Lead Vocalist in his college rock band, Stanford application etc etc ). Thought he was definitely of not my type :D
Before talking to me he thot I was fat and mean (How mean!!! *sob* )
Sahithi, my close friend,Office mate who happens to be his best friend's girl friend added his ID in my gtalk and introduced him to me online. (Quick trivia -Did you notice I used the word friend thrice in the above sentence :P ) We rarely chatted for the first few days. His status message which read "main kutta hoon" amused me. That initiated the talk with him. From then on there was no stopping!!
How & when did the Love happen?
We eventually got close through chatting. He used to sacrifice his Cricket matches to chat with me and I, my precious sleep :P.Slowly phone numbers were exchanged. My mornings would start with his messages and his nights would end with my phone calls. Loong chats, innumerable SMSes, never ending late night calls... I found him adoringly irresistable and so did he. Finally during the early hrs of christmas morning (25th Dec 2006 to be precise) the sweet confessions happened. We hvn't met till then as he was working in Pune and I in Hyderabad.
He came down to hyderabad for New year's Eve and I can say it was and it wil be undoubtedly the best new yr party of my life. During his stay in hyd for 3 days, Our feelings strengthened even more. None of us proposed but both of us knew that we were meant for each other. You know the kind of certainity which comes once in a lifetime.
Approval from Parents
First, Sudheer took the initiative of letting his parents know about me. They had absolutely no problem with his decision to marry me. I never thot it would be this easy at his place as we both belong to different castes. I was totally nervous wen i first spoke to his mom on fone. She is one real sweetheart, Infact it was her who motivated me to let my parents too know about us. Finally I took the bold step. I wrote one huuuuge letter (almost 8 papers) and put it under the refrigerator cover, addressing my mom and dad, penning down each and every detail and explaining them why i fell for him and why i wanted to marry him blah blah blah. His IIT background helped in a way :P (For my dad always admired IITians :P ). Next day after I left to the office, called up my dad and asked him to read the letter. After almost 2 hours of panic, frikking tension, nervousness and what not, i get a call from my dad saying " Don't worry. I will talk to their parents " . I couldn't beleive my ears!! I can never ever forget the gamut of emotions before that fone call which almost killed me. It's once in a lifetime experience!!
Sudheer left to U.S in 2007 to pursue his Ph.D. and now after a looooong wait of 2 years, we are finally entering the wedlock!! :-)
