Jab We Met: 'I couldn't forget her smile and voice'

We'd asked you, dear readers to share your love stories with us.

Amul Tamboli tells us how he fell in love with Swapna.

The year was 2008. I was working at a private bank as a manager.

I was stepping out on a business visit when I met Swapna near my bank. She was collecting money for charity.

She approached me to donate Rs 100 for a social cause.

I liked her simplicity and approach, so I donated Rs 500. She did not appreciate the extra amount and came back to my office to return Rs 400.

I thanked her but her honesty attracted me.

I could not forget her smile and voice. It disturbed me.

The following week my family and I were supposed to meet a prospective girl for marriage in the same town.

I was a bit tensed. To my surprise the girl my parents had chosen was the same whom I had been dreaming about for all those days -- Swapna.

I was so happy that when we were allowed to talk in private, I told her, 'I never believed in God but today I got the most precious gift from him that I was asking him for.'

Since I had a well settled career, she did not have any objection to marry me.

We got married on December 20, 2008.

We've completed seven years together and are both happy. We have a 5-year-old daughter.

Thank you God for fulfilling my dream so quickly.
