Guess what, that elusive species of mankind called ``Mr Right'', is not extinct. I've found mine. Yes, I'm getting married. He is a Nepali, currently posted in UK. Works for TCS. And is the best thing to have happened to me.... It seems after years of testing my patience, destiny and familial ties connived to do what shaadi.com and bharatmatrimony.com could not. All this while, those portals perhaps thought I was being too picky. See, I wanted a man with strong values, someone who was sensitive, intelligent and a guy with a sense of humour. All right, all right, good looking too! Guess you can’t force the pace. But Vaskar was there all along, waiting silently and patiently. What else would this Nepali from my Dad’s home district be doing here in the UK? I am convinced Destiny had a lot to do with it. You know, the way paths cross when you least expect them to? The way life unfolds magically in its own mysterious way? Speaking of Destiny, guess what? Vaskar’s uncle and my Dad were classmates! I met Vaskar in London but I didn’t get a chance to do the mandatory “tick box” exercise. You see, our meeting was rather filmy, with an Emergency Services chopper landing right in front of my car in the middle of London, blocking my way! Vaskar still thinks it’s a figment of my imagination and I will have to work hard at convincing him that I braved a medical emergency (thankfully not my own) to keep our first date! So there was no time to check off things like dental hygiene, whether he could spell vacuum correctly (dad would have asked) or whether he says, “What’s your name, mate?” Or “may I know your good name, please?” just the way Dad would have wanted. I tried to tell him that Dad prefers, "May I know your destination please?" instead of "where are you off to?" But Vaskar answered patiently, “By the time I ask the question, the chappie would have reached his destination!” I simply liked Vaskar the way he was. Maybe it was ‘love at first smile”. Hmmm, actually, that was much later. He definitely didn’t crack a smile when we first met. After all, I had made him wait an hour and a half (the chopper, remember?). I don’t know why I liked Vaskar. I think I just felt he was meant for me, no questions asked. And that’s a first for someone like me who is neurotic about weighing pros and cons, always having Plan B ready or never saying “yes” to anything important till I’ve looked at it from every possible angle, and then some. So what’s Vaskar all about? Well, he taught English Literature in Delhi University before he joined TCS. He was also a newsreader with All-India Radio and did a stint as a journalist in Delhi. But it wasn’t his resume that grabbed my attention. It was his adventurous spirit, his ability to talk about anything under the sun, his love of poetry and a knack to pull my leg! Naturally, I can’t wait to show off Vaskar to everyone, perhaps more so to those of you who have walked with me so calmly and so patiently through my past contemplations. His pictures are attached. So here’s our wedding invite before the formal card arrives. Vaskar and I are getting married in December (tentatively December 7), in Tezpur, Assam (a trip to Kaziranga National Park will be thrown in courtesy the newlyweds). Please make sure you check off December 7 in your diaries. More importantly, give your boss sufficient notice ahead of your trip!
