Have you ever thought, what would it be like to live with someone for 40 - 50 years?
What would it be like to start and end your day with that same person for so many years?
Am sure there are people, who are together for so long
Let’s meet people.
Let’s meet couples who have been together for so many years.
And let find out how their love has transformed at different stages in life
Let’s meet those couples
I was just 19 years old when I met my man
We have a six-and-a-half-year age gap between the two of us
This is our story.
One day we were both crossing the road.
And I saw her walking in my direction, she was going to college
And I had just returned from a work trip I saw her and thought to myself ‘Wow’
Wow.
This sounds like such a filmy story.
Love at first sight
We met at a Dandiya function He asked me what my name is and
I didn’t catch his name And all I remember was that he was wearing
a blue check shirt
While dancing, she got lost in the festive mood and she hit my thumbs with her dandiya sticks
That day when I went back home,
I don’t know why but I felt like a warm fuzzy feeling inside
Butterflies in your stomach Butterflies in my stomach
I am from a Maharashtrian Brahman family, and my husband is a Muslim.
When you love somebody, religion, cast or color doesn’t mean anything
And then we met a year later through friends and stuff
And I didn’t know he was the same guy that I had met at the dandiya function
And he was like do you know where I first met you?
And then he showed me the pictures of him in the blue shirt and stuff.
I just thought that this is it.
This is the universe telling me that this is the person for me.
Everyone in my family was against our relationship.
My mother was so angry with me that she locked me up in a room.
What?
But the next day she managed to escape and get out of her room.
So, we went to a mosque to get married
But the cops know where to look for couples from two different faiths.
And so, they caught us in the mosque and separated us.
We had time apart from each other, which gave us time to
Realize how much we missed each other.
I look back and I saw the first letter he had written to me,
Was when he was joining ship for the very first time
And when he was in the flight he’s writing not just I miss you, I love you, etc.
But what am I feeling right now.
I’m getting to share that phase with him, even though he’s not right next to me.
After seven or eight months, I got a job and his ship once came to Bombay docks
So, we decided to get married that day.
We got married and on the same night he sailed to some other country
After nine months, he came back
It was a challenge for me
I got married under unconventional circumstances
And to make it work was a challenge
It was like our lives got reset and we were back to zero
The first time he googled a recipe and cooked for me was
When I was pregnant and wanted to eat chicken curry
We do fight with each other and when the argument gets to heated
We tend to not talk to each other for a couple of days.
We won’t discuss the elephant in the room and when the dust settles
We go back to talking about other things
If I get up in the morning and realize she isn’t around
I cannot imagine that day
He gave me a perfume, Forever perfume
And I have been using it for the past 30 years you can say
