20 th Marriage Anniversary

 24 Nov 2024

It was a leisurely Sunday on 24 November 2024. Our husband wife relationship was now 20 years old. It doesn’t feel like that though. 😊

We had it in mind for some time to celebrate this day and create good memories. The morning was a great start with we wishing each other “Happy Marriage Anniversary”. 

I had plans to please Kavita like no other day and was willing to do anything for her as she pleased. We started our day by seeking blessings from our parents and loads of good wishes from them. 

Thambi being one of her favourite places for breakfast, it was a no brainer. We had sumptuous dosas for breakfast. One more tick. Then we proceeded to Thane to pick Deepu’s car. It was nice to get wishes from everyone in Thane including Rugved.

From there to go and pick up the Gold ring was also another thing which pleased us. In our car, in a filmy way I put the ring on Kavita’s finger and asked her to be with me for as long as we can. It might sound cheesy, but my Kavita was very happy. One more tick.

Then we decided to go to Kopineshwar Mandir in Thane, this was the first mandir we had visited when we had been engaged if I recall correctly. We were pleased to find a parking in the mandir premise and then seeking blessings from divine powers. It was little nostalgic but One more tick. 

I had insisted to go to a real cool and nice place for our lunch and chose ITC Maratha for our special lunch. There we went on to have really good fish dishes.  It was an absolutely classy and plush restaurant. It was such a lovely gesture from restaurant to offer the cake for our anniversary. I had just casually mentioned it to the captain when we walked in to the restaurant. Thank you ITC Maratha for making our special day even more special. One huge tick. 

From there we wanted to have more seafood and then decided to head to Gajalee Juhu. We had our quota of fish and prawns biryani. I chose this place and requested Kavita to taste it. It was just about okayish. There I got glimpse of Kohli’s 30 th test century in the Perth test match of India’s tour of Australia. One big tick for me.

We were very full with all the dishes we had so far, but still decided to head to Natural’s Juhu outlet. It was a guilt free eating day so we treated ourselves to cheesecake and ice cream. Kavita loves her mango ice cream but my choice of cheesecake sundae just floored her. One nice and cool tick for us. 

With all the great memories and nice food and most certainly the company of each other we had a wonderful wonderful day to cap off our special 20 th Marriage Anniversary. We both were mighty pleased with the day.

Thank you Bappa for giving this wonderful day to us and all the life leading to this day. Please keep us blessed for the rest of our lives with all the health and happiness !!!
