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
Lovely sunset! :-)

ReplyDeleteI love the tranquility and the sunset!
ReplyDeleteThose trees look very lush. Yes, it seems a peaceful, good place to be!
ReplyDeleteThe neighbourhood must have known that you were on your way to church gaelikaa. They would have thought it best to leave you in peace lest wild thoughts come into your holy sentiments!
ReplyDeleteThings are quieter here on a Sunday but would be busy by your standards, I think. There are usually more parking spaces on the road.
