Chronicle of my life, times, this n that

A tag that asks you to write 5 good things about the person you married has been doing the round on blogs. While no one tagged me, I decided to pick this up on my own and do a post for my husband. While I could go on endlessly about what all I dislike about him and my set of endless recommendations for him (I could do a 100 points post on that one). Of course I have a huge huge list of those things and I am really very tempted to put them down here. But for now I’ll stick to the good part, and here’s my 5

Our honeymoon

While we were planning to move out of India just immediately after our wedding to a country that had never been visited by me, he could have just gotten away with the whole honeymoon bit. But he chose to take me…hold your breath….to switzerland..yay!. It was and is undoubtedly the most wonderful trip of my life, not only because he choose to take me there while we could have spent time in the country we were planning to stay put in for a few years but because switzerland is indeed heaven on earth. It is without doubt the most beautiful country on this planet. Carpets and carpets of greenery, the clear lakes, awesome weather..nature at its best. Splendid!

My best friend

I share everything with him, we speak n number of times a day, whether work related or personal or office gossip, I call him him during the working day to get it all out. I am just so used to him being this friend to me, whom I can share every single thing in my life with. Companions in the truest sense really.

Giving me the biggest surprise of my life

It was my birthday and a very usual day at work, we were out for some group training for a few days. It was very dull and boring and at that time with my previous organisation repetitive too. At that time he was living in the US (we were not married) and told me he will not be contactable for a few days since he and his friends were planning to go skiing and the phone networks do not work in that area. So besides the boring training I was so bored not to be able to speak with him during those 2-3 days. And, on the second day of the training, I get a message inside the hall that someone had come to see me. Now this really surprised me, who would want to come see me at an outdoor training venue without even bothering to call first on my cell. What could be so important, I thought of family, but they would always call first and then drop by. It sounded weird. And I kept thinking the message must be for someone else. And then, I walk out of the training and-see-him standing in that corridor, right-in-front-of-my-eyes. I could have passed out, I almost did. I thought I was dreaming and had gone crazy that I was seeing  him or hallucinating or something. But he was there, on my birthday, giving me the biggest surprise of my life!

Calling me by my pet name or other such sweet names

Now I have one of the funniest and in a way a cute pet name. My family used to call me by that name until I became a teenager and realised that wasn’t the name I wanted anyone to use for me. And then my family just stopped using that name for me and simply outgrew the habit of using it. However, now that I am a bit more sensible , I love the fact that I have this cutesy pet name and like to be called with that name. And he uses it pretty often, something he does without cue and so lovingly, I find it very flattering and very sweet of him to do that 

Made for each other

In many ways he and I are alike and very often quite the opposites too. However, deep down in my heart I do very often (err…sometimes not) feel that we are indeed made for each other. That we are soulmates and this union, our marriage, our togetherness was always meant to be. We were destined to be together. We are just inseparable. There’s something about him, that makes my heart skip many a beats! all the time!
