Dec 28!

On Friday Dec 28, 2007, something really memorable happened in my life. That was the day where i decided with whom and how i wanted to be in life.

I completed my national service in September 2007 and right after that i was working at my cousin's law firm. That was where i met Janani. Janani is doing a diploma in Law and Management and she wanted to get some job experience in a law firm. My cousin's law firm partner and Janani's dad were friends and thats how Janani came to work over there.

Janani is a matured person who works very hard to gain what she wants to achieve. She knows what she wants in life and she is working hard to achieve that goal. She is also a very passionate person. She's very passionate about the things that she indulges in, for example, Dance. She's been a classical dancer since she was 3 and she intends to carry on with it till she's at a a professional level. She's also very passionate about blogging. Any form of information that strikes upon her, she blogs it and shares the information with everyone. There's a lot of things that i learned from her and I'm glad i got a good friend like her. I'm so glad that i met Janani, very glad indeed!

When Janani and i met, we had very negative opinions of each other. I thought she was very arrogant because when i first saw her, i smiled, a very polite gesture but Janani on the other hand, couldn't even be bothered and just looked away, hahaha. Its funny even when i think of it now. I on the other hand, have a naturally serious face. Looking at that, Janani thought that i was a snob who never smiles, so naturally she did not want to reciprocate my gestures. Well all that was in the beginning.

After that, opinions slowly started to change between us. On Monday, 8th October 2007, we first spoke to each other. I'm normally vegetarian on Mondays and on that particular day, i had not taken my lunch yet as i had quite a bit of work to do. Janani had just come back from lunch and she happened to bring back some vegetarian fried rice. My cousin's partner asked if i had my lunch and i said no. That was when Janani first spoke to me and asked me if i wanted some of the vegetarian fried rice. Even after this incident, she did not have much of a positive opinion of me. But after that day, we started speaking more. I guess the fired rice was a good aid that led us to start talking to each other.

When we started talking, i used to tell Janani a lot of stories when i was in the army and whole lot of other stuff relating to any form experiences i had gained in life. All these made her change her opinion of me. Janani also tole me a lot of stuff about herself, her passion for dancing and a lot of other stuff. During all these conversations, we found out a lot of stuff about each other and realized that we had many things in common. The way we thought, the way we look at things with a different perspective and not to mention, the fact that we could understand each other really well. Its not about understanding what we are doing but why we were doing certain things. We understood each very well in this way. Sometimes its not very easy for a guy to understand a girls point of view and for a girl, a guys point of view. But we did not have that problem. We realized that we clicked very well with each other and that we were bonding.

Our bond became stronger and stronger as the days went on. We became closer and started to understand more about each other. Some were very general stuff while some were private stuff. I realized after some time that, here was a girl whom i had always hoped to get as a partner. A girl with all the attributes I've always been looking for in a partner. I knew i liked her a lot but it was then that i realized the extent of it. I did not wanna say anything at first because i did not want her to take anything the wrong way. After some time, i knew that she liked me also and thats when i decided that I've gotta tell her soon.

On Dec 28, 2007, after having kept it within myself for more than 2 months, i finally opened up and told her that i liked her alot and that i really hoped that something would work out between us. She too opened up and told me the same thing. On Dec 28, i told myself that this was a person who was very dear to me and whom i really treasured alot.

Thank you so much Janani for entering my life and thank you so much for making such a big difference in my life. Thank you so much Janani!
