The Proposal :-)

Yeah, yeah I know.... Too late to be writing about it. And yes the name sounds like something off a mafia flick. 28th November 2007 was the day I saw Hari for the first time. I had been chatting online with him form the 1st of October, but met him on this day. One year has gone by & I was having a sentimental, Hindi filmy ishtyle flashback.

At the time I started chatting to Hari & even when we met, me & my parents had been actively & frustratingly groom hunting for over a year & a half..... Albeit results were few. When I met Hari, he was aware of this. We were met as friends, who shared a common interest on books. And food :-P.

Well we met for the first time on 28th Nov, then a couple of days later, then again a couple of days later..... Well we were seeing each other every other day. Somewhere around the 12th of December, when it was our 7th or 8th time together, Hari suddenly turns around & says "Why do you want to marry someone else? Marry me." At that time my response was nothing too great. In fact if memory serves me right it went something along the lines of are you crazy. Now its down in the annals of history that I did say yes.

There is a point to all this pointless rambling. Every girl I am sure has at sometime thought about how some prince charming would propose to her. What with all the movies around us. I really wonder how many actually formally do so. India or Abroad. At some point in a relationship don't you just realise that yes we are gonna marry. And in arranged marriages, I guess it is a moot point.

But me the ever romantic always thought of such scenarios. And when it did happen, did not think much of it. But later, now, when I am all married & Mrs. Sri Hari Kumar & all, whenever I see a proposal in a movie, it brings back that day.

And I think it was the most beautiful proposal ever. I could not have asked more. The spontaneous way he said it, when it was so very unexpected, just goes to prove how much he loves me. And I love my dear Hari very very much.
