My Passion: I Still Love HER

I love variety. Variety in everything. This just helps me to be enthusiastic about anything. So is my writing, my blogs. and this time its about- "I Still Love HER".

The thought came in my mind while I was travelling back to my home from work, sitting in the cab. It was around 5AM in the morning. Some how, a thought crossed my mind, about a girl. I am in love with her from many years. I could easily imagine her sleeping quietly at that point of time. Her beautiful face, calm and clear, just popped up in mind, and I said to myself 'I Still Love HER'.

Let me share little background of my story. Today, I am 27, married last year to my childhood sweetheart. We are in love from the time when I was 14 and she was 12 . To be precise, we were not in 'Love' at that age, but got to know each other and became close friends within few days. The reason - our houses were diagonally opposite to each other in a small town of India, and we studied in the same school that time etc etc. Within two years, we realized that we love each other, though none conveyed this to other And you won't believe, I never proposed her, nor she did it. We never needed it actually. But she always wanted me to propose her and I kept postponing it, for something bigger and better, that I never knew till I proposed her.

It was our wedding night, 9th feb '09, before we exchanged garlands and in front of 1000+ people, over a heightened stage. I did it on my knees with a red rose in my hand, and smile on my face. I dont remember what exactly I said, but something like 'I love you, Will you marry me?' (wedding time its a 100% winning chance on proposals ). She accepted my rose with smile on her face and nodded while accepting my love from the core of her heart. She just loved it and so did I. We were loving this moment, enjoying it. huh..simply, the most beautiful moment of my life..ever!! (pic)

Like every love story, we also faced hell lot of difficulties. It was not a walk on flowers but thorns. At that point of time, while going through lot of things, I was only loving her more and more and was better convinced that we are gonna be together someday. This BELIEF and FAITH made the foundation of our relation so strong that no power present on the earth or in heaven could separate us. I say it our FAITH - in our relation and The Almighty, that today we are happily married. Those who do not believe in God, and want to relate it with something scientific or 'practical', they must learn about the concept of sub-conscious mind and repetitive suggestion to it, the power of dreaming with emotions attached and having faith in it. (Read my earlier blog 'My meeting with my DREAM'). If you need a better writer to explain this, read the book "Think and grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill

Everything just flashed in front of my eyes while I was in cab. I started thinking that 'Ah..she is my sweet heart and I still love her after 13 years of relation'. Most of the people say that things change once you get married. They are absolutely correct. We know each other better, and share a stronger bond and the love and respect for each other is just getting better and better. Things have definitely changed, but only in the right direction. The secret could be many, and I leave it on you to decide by looking to your story as a neutral person. In fact, I feel there is no secret. Its just LOVE.

To everyone reading this, I will like to advise to be true and honest for the relation you want to sustain and enjoy it and for my love I will say "I Still Love Her"
