16 days to my engagement

Days 17, 18 and 19 went by with Brinda. Friday we went for a movie which was a drag. The movie started half hour late and went on for 2 hours, after which we got out to find our bike punctured. Fixing it took more than an hour thanks to the super busy mechanic. With no dinning place open at 12:30 in the night, we had to go home, where my sweet babe made some rotis and and sabji. I was forced to spend the night at her place. I pretended to complain but I was happy. Afterall, I was tired. Went to sleep like a log. Next morning, I was asked a dreaded question, which every man hates. "Which earring should I wear" says she, looking at me. We were going out to check out the menu for our engagement lunch. Thankfully, she picked the one I liked. Evening, I had organized a party for my colleagues at my new place. That's where I surprised everyone by announcing my engagement date. The only person to get shocked was my manager. Poor fellow did not expect this. Was funny to see his face. Others were expecting some thing, but not so soon.
Sunday went by sleeping the whole day. I was thinking of reasons why I love Brinda. Here I attempt to list the top 5
1. She is very understanding. I can see the changes that were sometime ago were difficult to imagine. I can see that she understands what I want and tries to fulfil my desires. I don't think anyone ever did that for me.
2. She makes me feel loved and special. I get showered with feelings I have never known before. The way she will make me feel, I have never felt before.
3. She is intelligent.
4. I like the way she gelled with Adi and his wife when we went to Coorg. I have some very good friends and it is very important to me, that she is well accepted and she accepts them. Made me feel so good.
5. She is not shy and does not hide what she feels. Being direct helps me understand her better. Atleast I am not left guessing what she is thinking.
6. She makes yummy cheese paratha and nice rotis.
7. She is beautiful.


I think I am going to keep this a running list.

20 days to my engagement

And we had a fight last night. Ask me the reason and I will say I don't know. I am guessing because of my in sensitivities in understanding the finer emotional nuances. Anyway, my charming self managed to rein in her temper, get my good night kisses and get back to sleep.

I managed to pull off a surprise present for my babe today. Last evening I went shopping and got a nice pair of earrings and a scented massage oil. Earrings make her look pretty, now I am not saying this, her friends are saying this. I am waiting for the day to make use of the massage oil. This is brings some nice dirty thoughts to my clean mind.

Babe gave me a surprise also today. Stupid she types some text meant for me in her IM window of her friend. Now she wanted to hide the fact that we are getting hooked up early next month, but here she was, stepping on the axe. Out she blurted and was too late to pull back. And so the whole of her team now knows. We had to do a public announcement and break a few hearts (of-course I didn't break any hearts, I cant break hearts, you should see my face) and invite everyone to our engagement party. Boy was that fun. Brinda, turned pink, never seen her like that. I should have clicked a snap, too bad I didn't carry the cam.

Right now I feel very mushy mushy and want to hold my babe. Watching her snap on picasa.

21 days to my engagement

I am getting engaged to this beautiful crazy woman, Brinda. After much deliberations and fights I finally gave in and agreed to get engaged this year and married the next. Today is 21 days to my engagement. I am unaffected by the thought. This generally happens to me. I don't feel the shock until much later. Last time I had this kind of feeling was when I lost my brand new laptop. Not lost, stolen, the laptop was stolen. I didnt know what hit me. I was unaffected. Just like today. Only after some days did I realise I had lost Rs. 40K. That was a while back, I got over the loss, and I got the laptop back, but that is another story. Today's story is I am getting engaged and I have 21 days left for it.

I get a call in the morning as I was waiting for Divya (not the one I am going to marry), to come pick me up to go to the office. It was from Brinda (the one I am going to marry). She said she will come over to pick me up. I was stunned for a moment. She said she was missing me. We had not spoken last night, which has become a ritual now. I was tired from staying up late nights doing some work at office. Slept a long night, lasted 11 hours. I am proud of my achievement. 35 minutes later she shows up at my doorstep, and gives me a big hug and squeezes the air out of me. I am left breathless.

We have to finalize where the engagement will be. But first we have to finalize who we have to call. Should we call our colleagues, is the first question. After all if we don't call, we have to treat them anyways. Keeping in mind that her colleagues and mine are not the same, we might have to give double parties. That means kharcha. Double kharcha. Why not keep it to minimal by inviting them to the engagement and having the engagement in some hall.

Which hall to book? Will be the next question. I dont care is my answer. why this? I don't know. I just don't care. I just want it to happen and get over with it. Not because I am not bothered, but because the reality has not yet hit me. I am yet to feel the loss of bachelor hood and achievement of commitment. I know it will come. It will come slowly and will hit me on my face like a wave. I am just hoping it will be a cool breeze of air and not a rude shock.

Brinda has been very good to me today. I am being showered with love, unexperienced before and I am loving it. Seems like the shock will be a pleasant breeze of air after all.

Brinda and me.
