27th Wedding Anniversary

"Wedding Anniversary"

My parents were married on May 10, 1979 .... and today is their 27th wedding anniversary. Twenty! Seven! Years..... together! I cannot get to think how they managed it.

I marvel at my parents' colourful and loud "old school" marriage, their complex canvas of undying committment, and how our modern-age relationships pale in comparison ~ this culture and age where our relationships, like our technology, become outdated as soon as they are released, and an update or upgrade is always a mouse-click away, or so it seems.

Our generation?

Well.... We know only how to frantically hack away complex code , but we can't figure out the simple hard-wiring behind our own emotions. Ummm.... well.... most of us(including me) can't even make it through college without breaking up ~~ we're all too quick to hit the CTRL+ATL+DEL keys in our relationships and "irreconciliable differences" is the modern catch-all phrase for "this is just too hard."

They make marriage look so flawless, but if you ask them they'll tell you that it takes a lot of work to have a marriage as happy as theirs and that the work NEVER stops!

I am proud of you ....
Congratulations, Mom and Dad.

We love you guys a lot.
Keshav and Hari ( AdyaMen!)
