Reflections...

They met at coffee day and got talking. At the end of the day, she smsed him that she wore thick glasses when she was not wearing contact lenses". He shot back "Yeah well and I wear braces". She thought he was weird, but he did interesting things in life. And he went back trying to see how he can get out of the mess. They met again after a few days and talked some more. She did not know what she was looking for. He did not know either. But they saw that there wasn't anything significant enough not to like about the other and got along. They watched plays, went for movies, they liked similar food, both loved to read, he was an avid naturalist and loved mountains and wildlife, she was content watching such shows on Nat Geo, but did not mind accompanying him to his trips, she loved listening to old Hindi classics and he could not tell between Kishore Kumar and Mohd Rafi. He taught her about Drongos, sunbirds and Signature spiders and she made him listen to Hemant Kumar and Talat Mahmood. He was reasonably romantic and she was too lost in her world to notice or be one. He was even tempered, cool-headed and she had a fiesty temper that could make any self-loving individual run for cover. They fought, they patched up, they ignored, they confronted, they drove each other up the wall, and they made each other laugh. And today, they successfully complete one year of marital bliss, wondering what a whirlwind trip it has been.
