This Girl's Diary: Happy anniversary

January 28, 2012

Happy anniversary

I want to begin this post with two words "Happy Anniversary".

My parents celebrate their wedding anniversary today. Thirty three years of togetherness. Phew. They remind me that I have a long way to go. We have been narrated quite a few incidents from the past -- the times Dad pursued Mum after office hours, his visit to Phodong for the Kha-chang wherein he was instructed by his would be bride to walk behind the rest but chose to lead the team instead, starting their married life from a tiny room in Arithang, to a quarter in Syari and finally graduating to our present home for the last twenty years.

There are two keys to a lasting marriage: respect and communication. Together they have built a life and alongwith it gave meaning to ours. We are the dots that connect different stories. It has been an absolute privilege growing up under their guidance and today is just an occassion to thank them for the same. May the bond grow stronger by the day. I love you both so much.

A note for the readers

Dear Stranger,

We've shared a one sided relationship over the past few years. It began for us in 2003 when I started my first blog. A few years later I decided against it due to two chief reasons- I wasn't a regular and my writing credentials were best portrayed in my diaries. Somehow the idea of seeing my neat handwritten journals gave me a far greater sense of satisfaction than Microsoft word ever could. It seemed (and still does) to me a feat I achieved minus automatic spell checks and grammatical corrections; a very important one at that and one which I carry till date.

Back in the blog industry for a second time, this was supposed to be my secret haven. A much needed outlet to pour my deepest thoughts. Regrets I may have, anger I may want to unleash, opinions I may want to make and hidden feelings I might want to express. Things haven't exactly worked out according to plan. Strange as it may sound, I feel a constant fear of being judged according to my writings. As a result, these posts represent only a decent chunk of what I may have liked to say otherwise. I constantly keep you in mind. You may or may not know me but it does not stop me from getting paranoid nonetheless. So if you are here today hoping to know my deepest secrets, don't bother to read further. Technology can only get you this far.
