What's going on!!!

Cricket gives me the most amount of pleasure when it comes to watching TV. I am not much of TV buff apart from the sporting events. Asia cup saw the favorites Sri-Lanka losing tamely to a well controlled Indian team. Not really disappointed with the final result. For a change it was good to see all the stars playing like one.

But really in Cricket, Football World cup & Wimbledon, something has gone really wrong. The teams/players who are supposed to play the best are playing the worst. Italy and France bowed out in the first round-robin match. And when I saw Italy yesterday, it looked like they had something against their goal-keeper, letting all the opponents through and testing the goal-keeper skills. Quite a horrible show from the world champions.

If football was something about the new guys, has anyone checked out the new kids in Wimbledon? We are having matches which have score line of 70-68 (something like a basketball game) lasting 3 days...On the other hand we have Federer and Nadal fighting hard to survive. I have accepted in the past that FedEx is the best and I am still a fan of Nadal, yet I don't want anyone else to defeat any of them. I wan't every grand slam to be a Nadal vs Federer finale. Nothing makes it more interesting than the top seed battling out for glory. The two battle between the top seeds at Wimbledon, have been the greatest tennis match since the rivalry between Sampras and Aggasi.

With Football WC entering fourth week and Wimbledon into its second, I hope to see the favorite fighting it out and showing their class. All the best guys, may the best team/man win!

Happy 4th Month Anniversary

I have written a number of love stories, read many books with love letters, but somehow I find a common problem men are always in, "How to express one-self, the feeling of love for wife, after marriage?"

We both don't belong to the American age, somehow sandwich between the two Indian generation, one the conservative and other the liberal gen-Y or gen-Z, it is stressful to expression feelings. The word Expression itself is changing these days, from a more emotional, eye-to-eye contact to more physical, grab-me-&-kiss-me. How I feel, on the 4th Month anniversary of our marriage is a little difficult.

To start with technically we don't have exactly spent the 4 months together. She worked in Delhi, why I moved around in Bangalore; phone being our only connecting point. Yet, we know so much more about each other than what we learned during our courtship period. But the one feeling which I had from the moment I felt saying yes to this girl, till date is I have found a really supporting friend in her. She celebrates my happiness but at the same time keeps me grounded. Not once she has let me gloat in the moment of happiness too long. And the best part is how she comfort me in time of sickness, mentally or physically.

With all difficulties I find the true word to express her is really, A FRIEND. I look forward to evenings now for a change, I find standing in the kitchen helping enjoying and yes the feeling when she will grab my arm and wrap her hand around it, says that she will be around me.

Love is an art, which has many lessons, like drawing. One day you are sketching the next day coloring.

We started 4th months a journey with 7 promises to our ancestors & blessings of our parents and family as Husband and Wife. Now after making back & forth trip, staying away, hours of phone calls and then starting a life together, I know we are true friends.

HAPPY 4th Month Anniversary, My Dear!!!
