Yesss, we are still not out of this marriage thingy! Read ON...
"
Are you kidding? A common story of every household, we are sure it is. Something which we wonder when our mothers start turning the pages of the family history and traditions, telling which family member married at what age. “Do you know that your aunt got married at 19, and your uncle was just 20 when he took the plunge?" "Ah, it's an old tale; isn't marrying at a naive age of 25, considered a child marriage in this android world?"
Are you kidding? You are just 25. What about your education? What have you further planned? It is going to be tough. "Ah, it's an old tale; weren't you just 20 when you got married? I am sure it's going to be a cakewalk instead of a tightrope.”
Fellas, if you are still pondering about what you are reading, to give you some idea, these are just few bombarded questions with eyes that reflected dilemma and doubts. Getting settled at an age when fame and money intoxicate you, killing every fear and eliminating all ifs and buts, believing in that voice that
comes from within, and getting captivated by each other's charms; this is what it was all about!
Life, which is like a river since its origin, slowly starts learning the tricks of the world; at this youthful age, flows with vigor to change the world around itself with the energy nobody has witnessed or encountered. And magically, comes to halt for a while when someone softly touches that corner of your heart! That
magic, that scintillating and mesmerizing experience, that beauty and that fervent passion, all have their destiny carved to resonate into a musing of fascinating expedition.
And it is now when the question arises in you, “Should I run behind something which I can never hold forever (read youth), or should I live this moment holding hand of the one who will be there with me perpetually?” It's a decision which can create ripples in the silent sea. And at an age of novice, when parents think you still are their obedient kid, you take that inherent choice which is soaked in the essence of those muses. And we chose to continue holding that hand, unlike many others whose souls get weak with jitters of unknown future. We aren't sure either how our tomorrow would look like, but what we see now is present as beautiful as a dream; colored with the happiness we share, sprinkled with glitters of our love, and cushioned in the glass of our amazing world. It's deceiving, it's incredible and it's indelible; what we experience.
And like a chef, we do not miss to garnish our lives with the right amount of spicy fights, crispiness of teasing, sweetness of gifts and beauty of our togetherness; as the Almighty would do with his special preparations! As we believe, that special moments are still in the making….
