A request was send by Payal via Shaadi.com in April 2014. After scanning the profile and some thought I accepted the request and shared my email ID and phone number with her. We were from diverse backgrounds but only thing that was common was our mixed upbringing. I was a Andhrite born in Vizag and brought up in Kolkata and settled in Bangalore, she is a Punjabi born in Orissa, brought up in Orissa/Gujarat and settled in Surat Gujarat. So we started talking and chatting over the phone and whatsapp and soon realized that we like each other and wanted to get together. The distance created a problem in face to face interaction, however we felt that a face to face interaction wouldn't change much. We shared the details with our respective parents. Our parents spoke with each other and managed to bridge the obvious gap of language and we being from different states. Interestingly the first time we met along with our respective parents, we got engaged. Second time we met the marriage date was fixed and the marriage venue decided. Third time we met we finalized wedding and the Fourth time we met we got married! To keep matters interesting we decided to get married in Hyderabad and it was a memorable event etched in both of our's memory.
