Jan 4th 2005- The first email that we sent each other was hilarious. I had recently lost my fav_vasu@yahoo.com account so dad had informed Neelabh's mom about the change of my email account to v_vasu99@yahoo.com. So Neelabh sent me an email inquiring if it was the right email id and i replied 'yes and i have nothing more to say'. Talk about a put off quote for the prospective life partner and nothing could have been worse but as DESTINY had it, he replied with a long email ... and rest of the story is history now .. but I will continue to blog about the highlights.

How it started with Neelabh
Jan 4th 2005- The first day that I started interacting with Neelabh. His parents had responded to our matrimonial ad. Dad had forwarded me his biodata and the picture. Biodata was impressive for an engineer though my mom always desired that I marry a doctor, my personal preference was for an engineer. But the picture was another story. He was standing with his hand on his waist and his mom was in the picture too. I rejected it straight away but as you cannot run from your destiny, my mom intervened and said the boy is smart and well educated so I should at least talk to him and I agreed.

Pause in life
I am 32 yrs old and it seems to me that I am too old to start blogging now but there are moments in life which give you a pause. Attending the funeral of Dr. Lisa, the dynamic and excellent Neonatologist who passed at the young age of 40 was one such moment. So today on 11/11/11 I decided to start blogging.
I have two kids - Soumil 18 month old and Anya 6 weeks old and if I were to cease my existence, I want them to know me for who I was. They might learn that from people around them, but those will be all nice things about me but I want my kids to know me for the person I was - with all my imperfections and know me from me eyes, so I am starting this blog.
I live in Los Angeles with my husband, Neelabh and my kids. My parents live in India and I am missing them a lot today. My in-laws are also in India and so are the relatives. This uncertainty of life and certainty of death that governs the life of every living species on earth makes all the issues that exist between me and my extended families seem like waste of precious time given to us by God. So this blogpost is a reminder for me to live the life to fullest and forget the little issues that spoil the view because the time given to us is too precious to be wasted by looking at a sore spot. So God give me the strength and goodwill to forgive and forget and just work at spreading the sunshine of happiness.
