"Sivananthan and N Srini are going to be in-laws !!! What will you bring for dowry ??? " - Unni Nair to Divjyot
"Hiedelberg" - Divjyot
2. "Out of these 2 sweets being offered , which sweet is from which side ??? - Gilbert
"The sweeter ones are from Divjyot's side" - Bikram
3.
"Another one bites the dust " - Gauthum
4. We buy a brand new treadmill to reduce weight and get ready for the big day.... Divu after her workout
"Wonder why the weight reduces after a workout... Shouldn't the weight increase with the increase in heart beat" - Divu
ROTFL :)
5. We decide to tie the bond of marriage .... So we go to Azulia, GRT for celebrating. After the drinks and food, as the bill is about to come .......
" From today onwards we have to cautious abt how the money is spent, see today I ordered a wine which is much lower priced than our regular orders .... I ordered it from the spirits mentioned in the discount menu"
The waiter walks in with a cheque of 8k for the liquor as Divjyot had ordered one of the most priced drink ; mentioned in the space below the one she actually wanted to order :)
That was the only bottle which reached home Divu right ??? the balance all used to be smashed on our drive back to TVT from Chennai... Remember that night we told Deepa
6. The proposal:
Amongst 50 roses arranged by Kartik (thanks dude), on the tallest rooftop in town, with a few cocktails down, the best location in the restaurant, down on one knee with her choicest ring in my hand & my vows close to my heart, I asked her hand for marriage ...
She said Yes and then started this long series of conservations on how much we meant to reach other ........ cant forget that nite .........
Remember how we planned for her Germany trip
We bought like everything in the world... Electric kettle, milk packets, tea bags, cocoa powder, sugar, medicines, breads, cheese slices ....... and she lands up in Germany and pukes all over the car ..........
So didn't wanna let her go to Germany !!!
8. Trip to Kovalam
We drove to ECR and couldn't find a place to park the bike .....
Finally parked it in a hospital and absconded. took the bus to Kovalam not knowing how the place was and what we were going to do there ......
Remember sitting on those boats at Kovlam having wine in the dusk and enjoying the mesmerizing sunset ..... You are right , no one in the world noticed we were having wine amongst fisherman crowds thanks to ur smart ways of handling the liquor .... Followed by the fish which ate of ur hands in the super crowded bus on the way back ... And then a laid back evening in powhattan
9. Karvachauth
Oh man !!! Amazing you were that day ..... Never had an idea you would do it and do it with such a resolve .. Not a single morsel from morning 5 to evening 8:30 ... I never knew someone would do that to pray for my long life ..... and that mehandi on the hands , how bright it was , beautifully done ...... the fast went on till 8:30 pm , bows to ur resolve
10. Puchi and the kids
25thDec 2008 : Divjyot walks into my veranda with a soft little kitten famished, gaunt and scared .... She brought it from the company and little did we know how big a part of our life Puchi would become.. She used to sleep on Divjyot's bed with her face right next to Divjyot's cheek and get up only when she got up in the mornings .. Such a beautiful receptive cat who changed my perceptions of cats forever .. and then the frescoes , beautiful and so very naughty , how they used to climb curtains, never could fathom what trick would be up their sleeves, .. then came the mangies and the kungrus ..
Divs owe all these lives full of love and care to you man !!!
11. Fights :
1 day before Stanfi interview, 1 day before Insead interview :) ... Well those are the only 2 shortlists I had .....
I am so happy didn't go to any of these places, life is meaningless without you ; hardliner when it comes to belief in the fact that God did everything for a reason
12. 22nd Dec 2007
Our first date , in Prego , the best meal ever .....
You looked beautiful in that royal couch and ur clothes, they so well blended with the aura and designing of the place .. the food was awesome , the wine was touche' , and your company was the best thing I could have hoped for on my bday ..
13. Diwali Night 2008
Remember how rocking we were clad in the best of attires .. My kurta which you had handpicked in lagan and your Saree, awesome blue ...
