So came Jan 15th,

She arrived early morning at 4 am, a day late thanks to the snowstorms and chill across the east coast lashing for past couple of years. I was there to pick her up from Airport at ahemdabad, Had a spring in my step eager to see her in person for the first time. We were to get married on 16th Jan 2014.

The first moment wasnt as magical as the bollywood movies show. Ya I am a hopeless romantic.

But there was happiness all around, excited to see each other and of course Puran the sweet little sone of kinnari.

Every thing was hunky dory during marriage as expected. Though it was planned as a simple garland exchange cermony but it was Pleasent.

AFter thecermony we went to our native godess which is located inthe middle of GIR Forest, We had darshan and spent an extra day for the safari trip for Puran. I wanted to show him all the places I love.

Then we came back to Ahemdabad, and took a train to Adoni Place where our family has been settled for 3 generations, where i was born and grew up, where my parents still stay.

We spent couple of days there finished some rituals and then I returned to Pune, with Kinnari and Puran,

I took them to mumbai to meet her relatives, Met my boss and other friends, a normal fresh couple does.

I always used to tell her that I do not want to settle in US and she used to tell me its just a matter of 3/4 years until Puran's custody. Then all 3 of us can return to India.

Jan 30th came in and it was close to her returning to US. we went to Ahd and went to her native village as she wanted to seeit. I went overboard to ensure she gets best of facilities everywhere.

and February 2nd was tearful good bye. All 3 of us had connected so much, especially me and puran, we couldnt help but create a scene at the Airport tearfully saying our good byes.
