Guess the response
For those who do not know, 26th November 2009 was our 8th marriage anniversary. Significant … because we are now out of 6th, 7th or 8th year itch of marriage…………..which some people think is a big challenge for married couples.
We were away, on this day, from each other for the very first time in these 8 years.
So, on this occasion, I had an opportunity to wish Geeta via email ... a very happy anniversary.
Didn't plan a conventional one at all……so, I was definitely expecting a surprised-kind of response from her.
Read the snippet ...
“ok, so what does a person need. It is a tough question to answer. Why, I'll tell you in a while.
A simpler question would be what does a person want?
Although it may seem trivial but there is a big difference in what a person needs vs what a person wants.
Most of the time we run behind getting what we want and fortunately or unfortunately we do get it …. most of the times, if not everytime.
I, would want to have a person/partner for my life, who is smart, beautiful, agree to what I say, does what I tell, be what I want her to be and the list would never end.
It is easy for me to give in writing that I’d be very happy to be with such a person for my whole life and never complain about anything. Needless to say that this would give me immense freedom and satisfaction.
So here is “the” person I would want to be with, for my whole life.
Now, what kind of partner do I “really need”?
I think,
I need a person who is with me when I need someone to talk to. Agrees with me when I think I am doing something with all my passion and sincerity.
I need a person who strongly disagrees with me when I am overconfident and doing something with wrong intentions.
This person would confront with me so that I am more prepared to take on challenges of life, to bring out shortcomings in me so that I can improvise further.
I need a person who does something for me with same sincerity and spirit as if I were doing it. Give me complete confidence so that I can move on to take on new battles and completely rely on her for the existing ones.
I donot know whether you are the person I want, but I am more than confident that you are the person I “need” for myself. “
Unconventional ….. isn’t it.
The response was even more unconventional ….. I wouldn’t let it out here………….keep guessing and updating the comments…….
