So far so good!!!

It's been months since i wrote on my blog, maybe i thought that there wasn't too much to say in life or there wasn't anything new happening. Life does settle down in a pattern after all. Every day isn't supposed to be one hell of a romantic time.

Anyways, when i visited my blog after a week today, i realised that i'd said so much earlier but never figured that time's been flying away. It's been nine months we married and before i know it, it'll be anniversary time.

I certainly cannot believe it, is it true what they say? Time flies when it's good. If it is, then i wish that time is always flying. Not only for me, for everyone, in fact.

Nine months, four vacations, couple of family weddings, umpteen number of romantic dinner's, putting on a lot of weight and a hell lot of anxious new moments later, all i can say is "So far so good". My finger's are crossed for the days to come, thanks to the one who's been there to give all this.

Cheers, for good times ahead!!!!

And D-day!!!

It was an anxious week for me as i was itching to show the blog to Mohit. With every passing day, I was getting increasingly sure that I had done a decent job with the blog and he will definitely love it. Come September and the eagerness grew even more. So fervent was I that I almost gave in to the temptation of showing him the blog on 1st itself. In fact, Mohit resisted the urge to discover his gift and told me to hang on till 3rd.
2nd being a Sunday passed on in shopping and i counted the minutes till midnight so I could open the blog and unveil his present. Come 12 o clock and I opened the page that i had seen atleast 10 times every day in the past one month and turned the screen towards him. From 12 till 1 with a quiet face he read each and everything, the length and breadth of it, complimenting things here and there, sometimes pausing after he'd read some loving detail to just look back at me with a smile. Those moments were sweet and just ours, this time.
The following evening we celebrated with a great dinner at this swanky romantic little place at the Garden of Five senses, new restaurant called Magique. Amazing place, truly created magic for us.

Rupal Khemka, born to Bindu and Raman Khemka on 13-09-1980. The second child with an elder sister and younger brother. Born and brought up in Ludhiana, Punjab, I did my graduation in Commerce and then did my masters in international business. I adore my family and friends, love reading and writing and food and sleep are the best things on earth.

Mohit Bansal, born to Shri Krishan Kumar and Smt. Santosh Gupta on 15-01-1979. The youngest child with two elder sisters, he's the heart of the family. With a bringing up that took him around the country, he's studied just about everywhere. He graduated with a BBA from Indore and then did his masters from IIM Ahmedabad. For him too, his life revolves around his family and friends. He's a very lively guy who's a total workoholic and loves every moment he lives.

I knew i'd found love

I don't share this with a lot of people. But maybe now i can tell everyone about how we met... Of course we had an arranged marriage but who arranged it? Well, you know the two of us arranged it ourselves. I saw his profile at shaadi.com , liked it and sent mine... He liked mine and the correspondence began. All this while that we exchanged emails, he would think he's speaking with my Dad and he'd be all formal( like we all know he can be sometimes) but it was me.

The moment we exchanged the first email, I knew it was going to be him for me. I even told my Mom that. Whatever anyone would say or do, I knew the bells were ringing soon. Don't know what, but maybe something about the topics we spoke about in the mails or i don't know what, but my gut feeling said it and didn't it prove right?

So well, we met on 3rd Sept 2006 in Karnal( oh it's the mid point between Delhi and Ludhiana) and again, something was telling me, giving me those strong signals that 'This is it'. And well the evening of 3rd Sept was when things were finalised and the final nod happened. And well, then what? The rest is History!!! and what can i say, I know with Mohit every minute is amazing, every little place is fun, life's just too good for words....And i know this is the just the beginning.... I'm sorry Mohit if I'm a fool a couple of times, I'm adjusting, new place, new environment, new people but one fantastic guy to hold me thro it....

Some Things that make him even more special!!!

He's always been the most special person, of course. But over the months, he keeps doing things to make him more special for me. Wanna know why? Read on:
On my b'day, which was just 10 days after we got fixed up, he stayed up all night and made a card for me. the card which was more like a college project in nature, was a guided tour of his life so far. Pictures, I'd never seen, things I'd never known et al. It was and will always be the most amazing gift so far.
At Valentines, he wrote down a two page poem and gave to me along with going down on his knees. It was all so romantic that it made me think oh i really must be very nice!!! ;)
Once i had an accident and howled on the phone to him. He left his work(which we all know is his first love) and in the middle of the day took an auto and came home to be with me. Though i wasn't even scratched anywhere. His car was also in the workshop and the Delhi heat is terrible. But this guy just never complains.

And the way he actually only calls me "Sweety" and nothing else all the time is so cute. I love to be called that. In fact, in the months that we've been married I've only heard my name from him when we fight. Those are the times when I'm being Rupal anyways, maybe that's why. ;)

Some memories

Pictures speak the best:-

What the pictures say:- Clockwise from left---

1. My two floating companions in Canary Islands

2. My adventorous husband took me quad driving somewhere in the hills in canaries.

3. Exploring the beaches together.

4. Our first vacation together took us to Manesar.

My thoughts after a month

It's been almost a month since i started the blog. I've had a lot of my friends and family visit the blog and say a lot of things for both of us. In the past fortnight, people have told me how beatiful we look together, what a great girl i am to write all these things for him and how we truly deserve each other. I've even had old friends tell me how i don't resemble the Rupal they remember. I've had people ask me for more posts, ask me about the incidents i've mentioned but haven't illustrated more. A friend even called me yday to ask me how i'd portrayed everything to be so stupendous, was it really so promising? I told her it was the way you took life. Sometimes its better to forget the complains and look at the bright side.

The other day my friend told me that she's hidden the blog from her husband bcause then he'd expect her to do something so loving for him. This actually is a compliment in disguise too. But the best has been that everyone always thought of me as this carefree, chilled out kinda girl who'd never be the amorous wife. So when i'm asked ' How in the world did you become so romantic?' I think a minute too. I know i was never like this. Then i have the answer to me from the back of my mind somewhere, "Love does that to people."

Thanks people for writing in for us. Just a few more days to go and am sure Mohit'll be thrilled to read everything though i'm hoping he doesn't freak out over my public display of affection. He likes to be private with these things. But well, i'm keeping my fingers crossed on that. Take care.
Rupal

P.S. If any of mohit's friends are reading this, pls pls write in something for him. M sure you think he's a wonderful guy too but i just haven't been able to get too many inputs from you.
