Many years ago, when I lived in Dublin, I met someone nice and started dating. I wasn't serious, I just thought we could have nice interesting discussions about India, which I found absolutely fascinating, as I was working in the Embassy of India back then. I had no intention of getting attached with a foreigner, with all the attendant cultural problems. I was happy living in Ireland and the idea of marriage couldn't have been further from my mind. We both thought we could just keep things in control. One day, after a lot of emotional turmoil and denial, it hit us both that we were in love. Truly. Madly. Irrevocably. To the point where we couldn't live without each other. I'd known about the Indian system of arranged marriages and when it occurred to me that he would probably be married off by his family as soon as he returned to India, I felt physically ill at the thought. We are both tenacious and patient people. We realised that bringing our two worlds together
hoping it's a dry day for you!!
ReplyDeleteVery Irish weather!
ReplyDeleteI totally need to put up a clothesline! I remember my Mom using one when I was little and our clothes smelled so fresh!
ReplyDeleteI hate when I can't get washing dry - although it's so cold here today that I've put the heating on and I have laundry draped over the radiator (and it's supposed to be summer)..
ReplyDelete:-(
Stopped by from SITS; happy Saturday Sharefest! I am very upset about the rain at moment as well; the thundering kept us all up last night. I guess I can't complain to much, though because I am fairly certain that the rain in Washington D.C. is nothing compared to the rainy season of India. Good luck drying out!
ReplyDeleteThings will get better soon :)
ReplyDeleteHappy washing. Just finished a third load here. No doubt washbin will be full again tomorrow. Where does it all come from?
ReplyDeleteGoodness. If that happened here, it might even lead to mildew.
