After going through the so-called first phase
of my wedded life, I have come across this particular campaign from J&J
that goes on explaining how “care inspires care” and that this holds good for
all sorts of scenarios… Whether you are a nurse/child/mother/worker/ architect/clergymen/dentist…..
Care inspires care. I take it a step further and say this: Love inspires love.
I realized this with my better half. This realization comes with a simple
routine of breakfast, lunch and hugs. I dunno if I am being mushy about it, but
if I am, I am J. Let me list
out things on the top of my head to corroborate this.
We enjoy trying out new places and experimenting with our tummies. Yes, I’m talking about food :D I have never come across someone who matches my taste in cuisine or who can so sedately be enthused at the prospect of good food. I look forward to visiting a place only to try out food there (and snap pictures of course). I realized that my wife rates a place on the basis of the food there :D. Not important if it beats cholesterol/ it is packed with fiber protein/fights cancer and slows down aging. What tastes good is good food! We fit together so perfectly. What are the odds?
We enjoy laughing together. (Yes, my I came to know that my famous PJs can arouse laughter after all). I am told that my puns inspire anger, not humor, thanks for proving them wrong! Two weeks without Internet taught us a few lessons: First, it showed me personally that too many of my hobbies take place online, so I need to work to develop other ways to relax after difficult days at work. Second, it reminded us that we take a host of things for granted in this life; I hadn’t recently thought about the blessing of Internet access until it was taken away. Third, the loss of Internet service made me thankful for you and your patience. Even in difficult, frustrating situations, you are remarkably patient and understanding.
Oh yes, I have broken one more misconception. Couple soaps need not be sitcoms or the mushy types. The first serial we enjoyed Breaking Bad :D There’s one more stereotype broken. One of my favorite things about you is your childlike joy for life. You teach me how to laugh often, at even the smallest things.Lately we have enjoyed watching animated movies together. Some would say those are just for kids, but you and I have a great time watching them. We laugh loudly, and for weeks after we end up quoting the movies back to each other (Da da da popoi).
We enjoy traveling, and it is always nice to go visit family. But after a ten-day vacation, we are glad to be back in our own home, with our own routines, at our own jobs. We are glad to be sleeping in our own bed, eating our own food. So there’s one more thing in common. I personally would stop bothering how tired I am and start getting into a frenzied clean-freak mode and start tossing things around, reorganizing stuff . But you have made sure that I don’t need to go through this…Thank you for being charitable with your time taking care of so many of the day-to-day requirements of having a peaceful, well-run home.
Among the many things I learnt in this crash course, I also learnt that being an incurable romantic doesn’t involve music, dance, art, theatre. Aspiring to be an idealist, charitable, compassionate and innovative is enough. Even though other couples tell us that we are still in the “honeymoon” phase of marriage, we already have moments where we get frustrated with one another, and I don’t enjoy those times. But on an afterthought, I realize that things get out of hand only when values get misplaced and perfection is not met. So I thank you for being an idealist during those times.
Love is all around us. All that it
matters is for us to accept it and return the same. Not many in the world realize
how blessed they are. What the world needs is really
basic. Simple. Bare-boned.& often forgotten in the race to get followers,
likes & status.LOVE. Pure, old-fashioned, never goes out of style Love. Fearless,
bold, unstoppable love. And I want it… I know that it’s gonna be a fun ride together . I'm looking forward to
enriching our lives and intellect through silliness and happiness.
