It was twenty(something) years ago, that I was born, and I ‘met’ the
best person in my life, my sister.
It was some ten years ago, that I met the best person in her life. (I was replaced, *sob*!)
It was one year ago, that the best person in my life, and the best
person in her life, got married (finally!)
It was during this year, that I also realized, that I would be irreplaceable
in my sister’s life (Yay! *relief*)
Congratulations Di and Jiju, for completing one year of married life.
I cannot say togetherness, because God (and you both) only know how long have
you been together. Seems like ten years to me….yes, people, it’s been that
long!
How often do you meet someone, make them your ‘best friend’ only to
end up falling in love? Yes, this sounds like the plot of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,
right? I know. Love for SRK probably inspired my sister to follow the plot
line, and lo and behold, the epic story of ‘A n B’ was written.

In short, they met, on the first day of college. My sister, the
arrogant girl from Delhi, my Jiju, a humble and down to earth boy from Banaras.
As expected, sparks didn’t fly, from
either side. Both were too busy being interested in other people to notice each
other. As destiny would have it, they
became lab partners, and then ‘best friends’. They were such good friends that they helped the other (try) to get their
dream partner. And neither of them succeeded… clearly, they suck at matchmaking!
(So don’t even try doing that for me!)
And now, imagine a cloud lifting if you will... and romantic music in
the background... autumn leaves flying. The cloud lifts, and they see each
other in a new light. A clichéd story to the core, they realize – ‘the one I
was looking for has been here all along!’
Yes, this is the story of How they met…and fell in love. How they got
married is a completely different (and long, and adventurous) story. It was
years and years of persistence that finally culminated last January. 28th January, 2014 is etched in
everyone’s mind as the day nobody ever thought would come. It was a gala
festival, a big celebration, the best month of my life! To see both of them
finally get married and be so happy remains till date, the best moment of my
life.
My sister is still the arrogant girl, from Delhi. My Jiju is still the
humble and down to earth guy from Banaras…and yet they make it work. Seeing them together makes me believe in the power
of love, and friendship and family.
Di and Jiju, wish you all the happiness in the world. Both of you are
wonderful, awesome, amazing, caring people, and I feel lucky to call you
family. (This last part for Jiju only :P)
I love you both lots!
(And now I want some return gift. Thanks.)
(Also, Didi will probably scold me for calling her arrogant. But now it’s
done)
