Jab We Met: 'I was grilled to the hilt'

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

Anand Venkatramakrishnan tells us how he met Vandana Chaudhary. You can share yours too!

Ours is a story of two states, rather a few states!

We met in Gujarat and our love blossomed in Mumbai.

We proposed in Delhi, got married in Tamil Nadu and were blessed with a kid in Vizag.

It all started at a college function which became a defining moment in my life.

After several dates, deliberations and innumerable arguments, when I finally went to meet her parents in Delhi, I was freezing. Not from the cold there, but at the prospect of meeting my future father-in-law, who I was told is quite a task master.

He lived up to the expectations and I was grilled to the hilt.

Since I am a naval officer, grilling didn't feel like an unknown territory.

After crossing the mandatory "obstacle course" what followed was a dream wedding, both in Tam Brahm and North Indian tradition.

We've been married for seven years.

We celebrate Pongal with equal fervour as Holi and Diwali!

She loves cycling, I prefer running.

She loves RomComs, I watch action films :).

She loves loud music, I enjoy soft, soothing music.

To date, we enjoy our differences and celebrate it.

Last year in August, we were blessed with a baby girl, Diya, and we finally have our "happily ever after"! For both of us, love is all that matters!
