Single to Married = Engagement to Marriage :) :) :)

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the long delay in writing this blog :) :) I was planning to write this blog from June but unable to do because of busy schedule and you guys know how lazy I am: P: P :) from January I haven’t wrote any blog or even read much!!!!! Coming to the point, I got married on June. My dad searched for a Girl and I married the Girl who was the first one I saw and without hesitation I decided to plan my life with her :)

FIRST INSTANCE

                I was the mentor of some of the Campus Minds and I was accompanying them for a lunch + beach trip on February 9^th. We went to Rainforest and from there to Besant Nagar Beach and started playing football and enjoying the sea. We thoroughly enjoyed the day out. At about 8PM I got a call from a person called Vaithee and I gave my father’s number to him. 

                

               I reached the home by 9.30PM on that day. My father told me that I have a got a match and horoscope is matching. Also he said we are going on 12^th to see the Girl. Girl name is Sahana. Then I got hesitated because I haven’t seen the Girl and I told my dad that we are not going until I see the Girl. I also told that they should see my photo before seeing in person, I am a firm believer that we shouldn’t hurt anyone while seeing them. So I was very careful in my words, first we need to check our photos and like and then only we need to see in person.

                Then there was a fight between me and my dad and at last we postponed our visit to February 19^th. Then I slept nicely on that day and went to office next day.

FIRST CALL

February 12^th was my friend’s (Baskar) Marriage and so I and my friend sati wanted to buy a gift for him on Feb 11^th. At 8.30 PM I got a call from unknown number.

UNK (Sahana): Hello!!

Me: Hello. Who is this?

UNK (Sahana): I am Sahana. Is this Ravi?

Me: Yes I am Ravi. Which Sahana?

UNK (Sahana): How many Sahana you know?

Me: Oh You are the girl who my dad said. Sorry. Tell me…….

Sahana: I just now got the number from your dad. You are unable to remember the name. I just want to speak to you and get how you speak and for that only I called you :) :)

Me: Is it so? Then where did you study…..

Then usual conversations proceeded and we spoke for about 20 Minutes. This is the first time I have spoken to a girl with some authority and my friend was waiting for me in another room. I was blushing all the way and I told my friend about the happenings in my life. He started to bully me and told to close friends once we came out. We bought the gift and came back. The I started to message my beloved (Now not at that time: P: P) with some nice forwards and some inept msg’s in between too :) :)

                On Sunday I went to attend marriage and came back and same messaging pattern followed. She finished of her 100 msg per day in 2 hours and started to message me from her brother’s and mom’s cell. So it went on like that for the week.

FIRST PROPOSAL

                The week followed had the Valentine’s Day and I proposed her for the first time :) :) also this was my first proposal in my life time :) :)Its Trueeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We messaged in till the wee hours of the morning and it was blissful :) :) I enjoyed thoroughly the way the life was turning out. It was the best thing that happened to me after my mom’s demise…  We bought got gift for both for the D-day of my life.

                February 19^th – I along with my family went to her home for seeing her. She was very nervous on that day and I was normal :) :) . The time was small and they asked us whether both liked each other and we liked. Then all of them were involved in some random talks and we were told to go to separate place and discuss.

                I gave her an anklet as a gift which I bought in my friend (Susil) shop... She gifted me a Kaadai (Kaapu like thing). We started discussing and talked for about 15 minutes about our life. I mostly talked about my friends and how I wanted to have her in my life. She too talked in a manner which a matured girl will be thinking. I was happy to have a girl who thinks smartly to be my wife. I forgot to mention…. She was looking like my mom from sideways which was the first thing I noticed when I saw her photo :) :)

ENGAGEMENT

                We had our House warming Function on March 4^th and so we planned to club our Engagement with the House warming. So my engagement was planned on March 4^th. The day where I lose my Single status and went into committed status in FB :) :) also in life!!!!! .  The Engagement was done in a simpler way and all the relatives came and wished us good luck. My friends made it a memorable day with their chat for almost an hour :).

                After engagement, the calling hours increased and messaging was done at will… She will be having 7PM to 5AM shift and I will be getting up by 5 in the morning and call her:) :). I haven’t remembered me getting up at 5AM even for the exams :) :). It was a blissful period I had in my life:) :). She had once said she likes surprises. I wanted to surprise her with some surprises which she will not be able to guess :) :). Marriage date was fixed as June 14^th.

FIRST FILM

                I booked 2 tickets for a film called OKOK and we were about to take invites for our wedding on that day. I took her in my bike and went for a ride and went straight to satyam. She was astonished and angry on me. She was surprised but as girls do they don’t want to show their willingness she showed her anger on me :) :) the eyes threw fire. But due to AC inside I got spared a bit and film was also a light hearted comedy and I escaped the fury in the theatre :) :) .Then after the film ended we went to check invites, but to my bad luck I didn’t found anything good in parrys and I travelled about 40kms in bike to get a card :). But the cards were good and awesome:). So we had a good time in spite of me having to have some dosage of anger fury :) :)

                Then the days become shorter and we were talking as much as we can, since she will not be able to use her mobile inside her office:( :(. But the calls and messages increased the bonding much so that we can understand each other with some occasional fights:) :). Fights are nice in that time as we can understand and get to know each other’s limit:).  We also went to a film “Vazhakku Enn 18/9” to Satyam on Month of May.

MARRIAGE DAY

                June 14^th – The D-Day on which I lost my Marital Status from Single to Married :) :). As a Brahmin, we will be having the marriage for 3 days. Starting with the Vridham on the 1^st day morning, Reception at the evening, Marriage on the next day Morning, Nalangu at Evening and the next day morning leaving for the respective home:) :). My home got a woman who can handle the care and affection of our house, after my mom and there she came, My Sahana!!!!! To my home on the June 15^th.

               

  

We went Honeymoon to North India, Covering Places as Shimla, Manali and Chandigarh.

The Future of Indian Cricket!!!!!!! GOD Only Knows

At the start of Border-Gavaskar trophy, India was the firm favorites and all were saying they will make the hapless Aussies and win the series in Australia for the first time. After the gap of exactly 2 weeks, we lost a golden opportunity to win a series in Australia. Indians are now fighting for their survival in the series with their back right to the wall on a pacy and bouncy track of WACA.


The three seniors who are almost playing their last series in Australia will be very unhappy. They can’t attain what Kallis and Lara attained in their careers, A Series win in Australia. In that only Sachin has the decent outing in the tests whereas Dravid and Laxman were not at their best (To be mentioned Average). The way to see our test results outside India shows us in a bad and worse to yet to begin. The three senior’s retirement time is not much and since youngsters faltering to deceive has opened a new debate. The Selectors have many things to answer. Is it the right thing to point fingers on the selectors for this heavy defeats or we are missing something?

The questions are:

1.Is India Tiger at home and cat overseas?

2.Are seniors tiring and is it the right time to hang their boots?

3.Are there any good bowlers in India except Zaheer? Are there any backup seamers in place if he gets injured?

4.Are youngsters too much liking IPL rather than the test matches?

5.Youngster’s failure resulting in the Indian loss?

6.Too much of hype around an individual record rather than the team?

7.Is Dhoni is fit to captain Indian Test team? Is anyone feeling he is more of a reactive captain rather than proactive? Aggression is also lesser lot!!

8.Dhoni’s fallback approach is eating into India’s chances of winning test matches and also he is not in form in test matches.


These are the questions which must be answered by players and then by selectors. They knew their strengths and weaknesses and somehow their losing stretch is not yet over. Let us hope for the best and the future of Indian cricket is really not safe.


I must admit one thing here. India is Tiger at home and so we are seeing a difference in their performances. So by my analysis the thing is all are becoming very good at home, in their easier pitches and home advantage they are able to win. But the truth is everyone is poor travelers nowadays. So the standard of test matches is degrading day by day. IPL is one of the things which have a major role in it. Everyone is happy to play for 20 over’s and get paid heavily rather than playing a test and getting good money.


In my view, all should lessen their 20-20 tournaments and enhance their domestic structure and teach them how hard to earn as cricketer. If you can’t play well, you can’t earn. Youngsters are earning easy money and they are not feeling the bad thing about the loss of career and their place is taken for granted by some valuable innings in IPL. When this thing changes only Indian cricket can get the heads on and become a good team worldwide. I can’t say they can be world beaters as WI or Aussies, but they won’t struggle as they are doing now.
