...One Year...

This post is specifically dedicated to my lovely and loving wifey who has judiciously jhelo’d me since a year now…

Just last Friday we successfully, courageously and very blissfully completed a complete year of being married to each other. One year! Can you even believe me? Okay for the people who don’t know me… I am a very terrible person to live with, I actually make you go mad… and this woman has lived with me without losing any screws! In fact, she managed to actually tame me and bring me down to an acceptable ‘sane’ level!

I can vouch on being married now… this is one of those amazing experiences that I’d suggest everyone to go through at least once in their life… I am so happy and thankful to god that he hooked me up with my loving wifey and so thankful to my wifey that she agreed to get married to me.

Ours is a traditional ‘arranged Indian marriage’ with a strange twist! I had always been a staunch believer of going through a serious courtship for at least six months before you decide to marry any person. Against this, the wifey and I dated an exact five days at the end of which we had realized that we wanted to get married and spend the rest of our lives with each other.

Its just so much of peace that I feel when I am with her… life does start taking a specific shape and your actions are for a reason… suddenly you start ‘living’ instead of existing or surviving… life gets its meaning and you live and love for a reason.

Sounds like too much mush from me, no? I know… the wifey usually has this effect on me, every time I’m with her or I talk about her I usually get all mushy… she’ll completely deny it though…

Just wanted to publicly profess that I love her a lot and she is the reason that I’m sane, grounded, (almost) human, and the person that I am now… she is the reason for all my smiles and laughter, for my joy and my glee she is the one who made me turn into me!

Finally, a song by the Beatles to end this blog… just love the mush factor in this song… if you haven’t heard it yet, I suggest you give it a hear…

I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her

She gives me everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Happy Birthday dearest RedEye!

Last year Valentines Day I got the best gift till date! I got myself my loving beauty, my RedEye.

She is now a year old…
So many adventures we’ve accomplished together!
She’s already done more than 13Kkms, averaging to more than a thousand kilometers of running every month! Now, that’s some good running :-)

I still remember the day I got her… out of the showroom… she was all prissy and prime, shining in all red and silver with lotsa chrome… just like a new bride! :D

In this one year, we changed so much! She got a pair of better and brighter headlamps, louder horns, free-flow ‘goldie’ exhaust, more cushioning on the seats, a bigger tank and loads and loads of love from me!
And I; well, I became calmer, older, more mature and more loving, more adventurous and lastly MARRIED!



The wifey also loves RedEye as much as I do, sometimes though she thinks that I think more of her than her… ;)

We’ve explored so many different destinations and did so many rides! The last one being my ride from Bangalore to Ahmedabad… and yet, there are so many rides still to be done, so many destinations still to be explored and so many horizons yet to be chased…

Hopefully, this year we’ll do Leh-Ladakh (Khardung-la pass, the highest motorable road in the world) and maybe some more!
Sometimes I wish if I was paid to just travel and write about it! (Anyone out there looking for a not-so-good-looking travel show host?)

I just pray that our relationship deepens every kilometer covered and our love and loyalty for each other doesn’t fade… that we ride on and on and on and chase all the horizons we see…
Amen!
