Marriage........................

SHE says.....................

For every girl, marriage is an memorable event filled with mixed emotions.......... A new World to step into........but at the same time.............. leaving behind the most comfortable, caring and nostalgic memories-filled World!!. Every girl is sent with loads of 'goodies' which r to become her possessions.... But what about those cherished invaluable real souvenirs treasured for ages????????...........like

* the first cartoon picture which got her a star from the art teacher

* the first pencil box..... though unrecognizable, it would still bring a smile onto the face

* the half-chewed Natraj pencil

* the ol' little teddy bear.... with one ear missing

* the half used crayons

* the first birthday gift

* Greeting cards sent by friends for years

* the dear old BSA SLR cycle.......

* the collection of teddy bears.........of different sizes......

* that Physics, chemistry, Biology record (painstakingly copied??? n written at times, OMG!!!! those wonderful pictures of dissected flowers, frogs, cockroaches!!!!!)....... which had successfully fought its way with the PG medical books to remain in one corner of the shelf

* the table rose plant which had been tended to for so long.......

* the friendly vegetable vendor who had been there right from when the girl had been a toddler...calling her 'papa' till date... Wil there be someone in the new neighborhood to call her 'papa' any longer???

* the mango tree companion.........the kutti kaka.......... can somebody give him the new address???

* that one odd earing which a dear friend had given as a token of love n remembrance..

* the 6th Std maths answer sheet which has a 100/100 score with a V. good scribbled next to it by the favorite maths teacher

* the first pen-pencil ever bought

* the still good hero pen

* the first pillayar (vaguely resembling him though!!!)made out of clay.................

..........Can the girl carry these 'n' other rugged possessions along with her?? wil it be valued n appreciated??Other than her parents, can anyone else realize its worth?????

and above all.............................. leaving the family behind.................... as the d-day approaches, its sadness more than the excitement......

HE says..................

OMG!!! For guys, with marriage comes a free add-on!!!!!!! Responsibility..... The guy is probably expected to be more responsible for his seemingly docile wife than for himself..... How on earth could a funky, care-free, tomboy become Mr. Responsible overnite??????? Too much of an expectation...... forced to make enough room in his jam-packed masculine closet for her things.... guess devoting the space in his entire heart for her is easier than vacating a quarter of the closet!!!!!! Some of his dreamgirlz' posters might have to be unceremoniously removed.......to give her that feeling of a goody goody boy....... will she be able to adjust with his parents n siblings??? he will have to be the perfect neutral pointer in this very delicate balance...... Wil she understand me??? -----Fingers crossed!!!!

He 'n' She together say.........

Wow!!!!!!! here v go!!!! A beautiful Dawn, a wonderful beginning!!!!!!!!!!!!! Better-half!!!Loads of promises n surprises!!!!!!! unparalleled love n affection..... to last a lifetime!!...to fill in the countless days to come...................................... A relationship garnered with trust, understanding, small compromises, a few spicy fights, baseless misunderstandings (of course those that do not last for more than a few minutes!!!!!!!!!!!) and above all.........the feeling of Belonging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that's life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
