The diary of a young woman.

8th March, 2008

To my man!

Sweetheart,

I don’t care who you are, where you are, or what you are like…Oh no! Not that I don’t care in the real sense of the term ‘care’. It doesn’t matter, is what I meant to say! Yep, I’ve started the hem and haw already…:D

It doesn’t matter….
If you’re a Malayali or Mangoli (just for the sake of the rhyme; no pun intended!)…if you’re tall or dark or handsome…if you sport an evening shadow on week days…if you’re momma’s boy… if you plop in front of the TV watching the cricket match, not letting go of the remote (!!)… if you leave the wet towel on the bed…if you forget birthdays and anniversaries…if you can't say, “I love you” as often as I wanna hear it…if you can’t manage two things at a time…if you’re not able to make sense of ‘idioms’ like, “aww…chooo chweet!”…It doesn’t matter ‘cos, I’d love u, anyway!

It doesn’t matter ‘cos…
Whether I’m a beauty pageant winner or a not-so- hot-next door kinda girl…whether I talk like I have no clue of this thing called full stop (!!)…whether I roll on the floor and laugh watchin’ Tom & Jerry…whether I go gung-ho about Josh Groban’s killer voice and looks…whether I’d visit umpteen shops only to come back to the first one to pick up something I like…whether I cry myself to sleep reading one of Danielle Steel’s touchy family novels...whether I nag you into talking when you just need to be left alone…whether I assume inexistent things and weave a story (often animated!) out of such assumptions… it doesn’t matter to you, and you’d love me anyway!

I love the fact that we are not alike…and yet are fearfully and wonderfully made!

I love the fact that we haven’t been chuddy buddies and are ‘not acquainted with each other’s ways’, but are willing to understand each other and grow together…

I love the fact that we’ve been through rough times as individuals and have learnt from it all…and would help each other in pullin’ out the garbage from the past that we lug around…

I love that fact that you’d be in the cheer band, when I’m getting shaped into the Proverbs 31 woman :-)

I love the fact that we’d be partners in crime as we live out I Corinthians 13!

I love the fact that I’m a woman…and that you aren’t one! :D

As the world celebrates the International Women’s Day today, I felt like leavin’ this li’l note for you, my not-yet-discovered-Mr. Right!

And don’t you forget to thank all the incredible men in my life, who have contributed their best into the making of the stunningly beautiful woman that I am today! :-)

Have a great day ahead!

Only yours,

Me.

P.s: All the lovely women in my life!! I don’t need a special day to tell you how special you are! Without you, where would the world be??!
