Child hood experience:

We enjoy to crawl when we were child. A little grownup will make us to walk. We enjoy that. Running will make us more happy when we were children.Now, is the time to dream about everything. We use to look at our elders and want to live like them. Father is the hero for it and mother is our heroin. The neighbours also some time become our stars.

True friends:

The true friends share the happy occassions when we are children. Sometimes we imagine.When they are in the teens the dreams are also different. The boys would feel that the cinema star like girl only can be his wife, while the girls will be dreaming about her dreaming male cinestar to become the spouce.They feel a light,"light" satisfaction in it.

The first time seeing my wife:

The day I am told that the girl is selected and as per the horoscope she is going to be a better match to me for my life time, I felt as though I am flying in the air.(In our country, love marriages were not so familiar in those days. and in certain families it was considered as a sin also). When my father told me about this allieance, I felt very comfortable.

I told my parents if the girl is going to be a better match to me and since as per the horoscope I can lead a comfortable life with her, I do not need to see her even and I am prepared to accept my parents suggestion.But, my father told me that if I deny to go see her, then her parents would think that I am having a disease or so and so I needed to go and see her before accepting for the marriage.

My wife:

My wife is brought up in such a situation that she cannot look up . No friends for her. But, very innocent look with a bright smile.She also accepted her parents decision.And in those days there is no communication resolution. I was living in a village. If I need to talk to her I needed to make a trunk call. (For making distance calls we have to book that call mentioning the place, the telephone number and duration of our talk to the operator in advance and teh operator on priority would get the connection to that number. That is called trunk calls.) And if I book a trunk call from our village it would take about 7 hours to get the connection. With all that difficulties I managed to get my phoned connected her home phone. Her brother picked up the phone and found that i was on the line. The next moment he gave the phone to my father in law and my father in law wanted to know the reason for my call to them. I did not have the courage to explain to him that I wanted to talk to my fiance'. I just mumbled something and hung the phone. The had given me a phot graph of my wife. It was a long shot photo and so my wife was looking very tall. On seeing the photo I would imagine that my wife should be of my height and I was dreaming a lot.(Even to day my wife would say that I did not give my photo to her and so she did not have a dreaming chance of keeping my photo).

Marriage:

After six months from the date of confirmation (betrothel)the marraige took place.I searched for occassions to find my fiance to talk a word or two with her. But, I could not see her till that evening.During marraige also we were on the dias and many were looking at us to bless during the muhurtham. So we both did not talk.

After 25 years:

Now, there is a display in my house which read as,

"I AM THE BOSS IN HOUSE AND I HAVE MY WIFE'S PERMISSION TO SAY SO."

I do not have a word to say without her consent. I need to accept as what she likes and talks.

Still I love to enjoy her command.
