Friends



My stars seem to be on a rise today. After getting some much awaited news and chatting up with Mr Oz I bumped into a very special friend and his girlfriend today. V and I were very close friends and still are but we don't meet very often nowadays. I know his girlfriend too as we all studied together in the university. On a trip to the market I saw his car parked outside and shop and walked in and met them. We hung out for a little while went to a cafe and caught up with each other.
It was nice to see that V and his girlfriend are still together after 4 years. But they are in fix. V's parents don't approve of the match and it would be quite a thing for him to have them to agree to their marriage. On the other hand his girlfriend's parents are anxious about her marriage as they feel she is getting past the acceptable marriage age in India for a girl which is around 24 to 27 years.
It always nice to see a couple who are comfortable with each other and who in a way seem 'lived in' I don't think that's the word but they are past the 'pretending' and seem like a couple who has been together for a while and understand and respect each other. I remember the day V told me about his parent's disapproval of his girlfriend. He was in tears and almost ready to give up on the relationship. That is the only time I have seen him cry. He is the most happy person I have ever met. We talked about it for a while and I asked him to hang on to his guns and not to let go. I am glad he did and I pray that in time all works out for the best. Overall a great day!!
