Letting go of the life Alone..

In the Asia region, specifically India, if you are born and brought up in a typical Middle class family, you never really get to understand what 'being independent' means. You have wonderful Mothers calling you frantically if you are 30 seconds late than your usual schedule. It was hence no different a life for me. The last two years however, my parents finally realized that I am capable of handling things on my own. The calls will never die, which I will never complain about. I have embraced life as it is living alone the last 2 years. It gave me a sense of pride, responsibility and more importantly this was the phase when I fell in love with myself as a person. There was never a dearth in the Groom hunts during this period anyways. I myself volunteered to look up in the matrimonial page which we paid a bomb to keep the membership afloat. (PS- This is one business am eyeing for the future!)

One of the days a colleague and a good friend of mine from work happened to ask me- 'are you still interested in getting married'. I was taken aback a bit and I did tell her, I am groom hunting myself through the matrimonial pages (sort of in a very proud way, that I was virtually patting myself on the back and I pictured a hallow on my head) . It was her turn to be surprised and when I probed her further, she mentioned that she knows girls who decide to never get married once they start enjoying their single life. Infact some of my close cousins, mentioned the same that I am doing the right thing by not getting married and deciding to stay single. (Did I decide already?)

I have always made fun of my friends or family when they tell me 'You will know when it is the one!'. during the Groom hunt. I find this very cliche, and that sounds like some dialogue taken out of a chic-flick! Well, I am almost convinced now to agree to that. I had this matrimonial app installed in my mobile for the sake of it and the team always sends me 'Daily recommendations' twice a day! Either they were more eager than me or my entire family to get me married or they were eyeing some bonus if they helped me find one. Whatever was the reason, this was a simple process and I was enjoying my Virtual Swayamvara! I came across a profile during this time and somehow I felt this might work. We met, spoke, spent hours on calls and bingo! I found MY Prince charming (okok!). We realized that we hardly took anytime and were very comfortable in each others company in matter of days. 

We do have our differences that at times we are North pole and South pole but the biggest blessing is that we both are ready to work on them together. Ah! the happiness of finding the one finally! I am hoping to write some day about us. For now, bye bye to the Single life and a happy warm welcome to the Companion for life. The wait was definitely more than worth it. 

Vive!

ME MYSELF :)
