Celebrating a special day

It’s been twenty five years !!!!!

Time flies so fast, no?

25 years ago, parents of two individuals decided their fate. They did abide by their parents’ decision and tied the nuptial knot on this very day in 1987.The two individuals who never knew each other, never met before, entered into a ‘social agreement’ or ‘partnership‘ called marriage. They said their vows, committed themselves to each other and the journey began...

In the journey of life, walking together, understanding each other...eventually they became the very best of friends. We have seen the bond getting stronger with every passing day. We have felt Maa & Papa, it’s not just the worldly relation that you share but the bond is divine. During all these years, we have been witness to your selflessness, devotedness, adherence and unconditional dedication towards each other with little or no regard to personal needs and wants. You have been each other’s inspiration, standing right by each other’s side through all times.

We wonder what God was thinking when He planned your wedding in heaven. We wonder if He wanted to bless us with the most wonderful parents on earth. You are everything a kid can ever wish for.

It feels so beautiful, so special, so perfect...to be your daughters. Not many people can refer to their parents as best friends and really mean it. Ours has been a different relationship, hard to describe...for you both sometimes became our teachers, sometimes friends and sometimes the sinks that absorbed all our worries. When we look into your eyes, we know that is the purest form of love on earth.

Yet there is a marked disconnect between our generations’ thought processes, you both always strived to keep us connected in a carefully, affectionately knit family. On some fronts, you taught us to be traditional and on others you became modern. You celebrated every small accomplishment of your children...taught us how to live...instilled in us the values and virtues.

In this journey of yours, you made us your companions. You nourished us blissfully, watched us grow.

We pray to the almighty to bestow upon you His choicest blessings and bless you with endless joy, everlasting happiness and togetherness. On this special day, let us cherish the special moments, happy thoughts and warmest memories. Maa Papa, Happy 25th wedding anniversary. May the eternal bond you share transcend all times.

Your loving daughters
