Words of wisdom from a father to his son (Vikas) and daughter-in-law (Lindi) Nov 11, 2022


As you venture out on the journey together
You must :
– vow to take care of each other
– flock like birds of same feather
– make companionship last forever

In a successful relationship :
– sum is greater than parts
– you reach resonance of hearts
– friendship goes off the charts

A union succeeds when
– WE comes before ME
– and OURS before MINE
– there is no alternate reality
– you assume a joint identity
– yet retain individuality

The road will not always be smooth:
– There are bound to be ups and downs
– How you take care of the downs
– will determine if you wear thorns or crowns

You will be tested often, arguments will happen
You must resolve with mutual respect, and trust,
No winner or loser, if done the right way
Unflinching honesty in a relationship is a must

Don’t sweat the small stuff
Even in the heat of moment
Spats may appear to be not small
but most of it really is like a snowball

Marriage is akin to confluence of two rivers
where the two individual streams submerge
in favor of the one combined stream
what once were separate, now converge

We wish you the very best
We know you will succeed.
Our doors are always open
Knock, whatever be the need

Our love remains unconditional
We want to see you thrive, as one
You are smart and enterprising
Nourish your union, let it not get undone.
