Both of us registered to Shaadi.com with not so great hopes to find a life-partner on the internet. But we have to thank the medium of internet and the portal Shaadi.com to help us find our life-partner. I contacted Madhavi on July 6, 2006 and we started chatting from that day on. We struck the cord as soon as we started chatting, but I think it was the simplicity of Madhavi which played a major part in making my choice. The more I talked to her and knew about her, the more I was inclined to think that she was the one for me. I felt an immediate bond with her. Madhavi also felt the same, but she wanted little more time to think about the relationship. During this time, we talked a lot about our future, our likes and dislikes, our past, our families and how would we want our future family to be, and possibly anything and everything you can think about. We sure did have some challenges because of distance - meeting in person was pretty difficult. Akash was in Canada while I moved from Delhi to Mumbai and then to Hong Kong for my work. My parents are in Benaras (Varanasi) and Akash's family lives in Baroda. Finally, it was in late September that both the families met. They thought that we would be perfect choice for each other. However, two of us had not seen or met in person by then. It was in November when Akash travelled to India. While he was flying to India, he stopped in Hong Kong and that is where we first met. Two of us decided that we would be compatible for each other and I decided to travel to India for just about a week. We sure made my family in Benaras to rush to Baroda for our engagement registered marriage on November 21, 2006. As of today, Akash is in Canada and I am still in Hong Kong, though Akash will visit India in April and two of us will go to Canada. I am very fond of snow which we will surely see in next winter. Till then, we will enjoy the summer and our new home. We both thank Shaadi.com to help us choose our soul-mate.
