What Was Your Most Romantic Moment With Your Partner?

unforgettable memoriesHmm..this post should be from Rati’s side but since I had this idea after commenting on Insiya’s henna post, I thought I shall post it. Rati and I have been together since 2004; we fought and broke up a number of times, started our own business together, fought an year-long fight with our parents to get married, started IMBB, and so on. We share loads of unforgettable memories, as I am sure many of you share loads of memories with your partner. I am sure it would be difficult to pick any single moment and classify it as the most romantic one. But there must be a moment that never fades out from your memories and that both you and your partner can instantly remember. Do share that moment with us today. Yep, that means long and nostalgic comments. 🙂 As for me, my earliest memory about our affair goes as far back as to 2004 itself. Rati and I had started going out together but we were still not committed to each other; she had a boyfriend and I was still moony over an ex girlfriend. Anyhow, we were studying in an MBA coaching together on Barakhamba road at Connaught Place. After our classes, we used to go to this restaurant called ‘Rush Hour’ (it closed down 2- 3 years ago) on K.G. Marg for coffee and gapshap. So one day we went to the restaurant, and the moment we arrived it started raining heavily. We had placed our order but I was more worried about Rati going out in the rain and getting wet (she was wearing a skimpy suit also that day) and people staring at her. So I just excused myself, saying that I shall be beack in 5 minutes, came out and ran from K.G. Marg to Palika Bazar; nearly 3- 4 kilometers. I was completely soaked but I found a shop which was selling umbrellas, got cheated on the price but bought one anyways, and came back running. Rati had no idea where I had gone and she was shocked out of her wits to see me coming back dripping all over. But she was immensely pleased at my stupidity when she got to know what I had done. Anyhow, we walked back in the rain in that umbrella together. I was the happiest person in the whole city that day. 🙂

What is you most cherished romantic memory with your partner? Do share it with us!

  1. I shall just sit and read everyone’s stories and go awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww….you get the first Awwwwwwwwwwwwww of the day…no stories of my own to tell…me live a simple, serious life…no fun..all work… :-(( :-(( :-((

  2. Ok, if you insist, I will just have to cook up some fiction 🙄 🙄 and it isn’t very awwww. It was my birthday and it was office as usual for hubby not so dearest..he didn’t wish me, nothing…oh well I never wake up when he leaves..but never mind..IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY..and he had not wished me. Of course, I was just pretending to be asleep..had these visions of the stupid guy waking me up oh so romantically and giving me my GIFT. Grrrrrrrrrr…took all my will power to not throw the belan at him when I heard him lock the door and leave. Anywayss..I was fuming and sitting and fuming = hungry, and I go searching in the fridge for khaana..open the freezer..looking for ice cream, and I find a note there asking me to search in another place…it was one note to another and then I got my gift…well nothing much amazing and it was hidden under my bed..a big chocolate cake and a Dan Brown book..heheheheee. Of course, I was still furious he didn’t wish me firstest thing in the morning, but it was funny he knew I would look in the freezer for ice cream 😀 😀 😀 😀

  3. Oeyyy bent-eared donkey…I still cannnnnnnot understand why she agreed to marry you..I mean ok emergency umbrella-fetching is good..but really, can’t she just remember to carry one with her the next time…like why marry a donkey ?:-) ?:-) ?:-) ?:-) ?:-)

  4. Mine was a total ‘awww’ moment :))

    My fiancé Karthik and I have a long distance relationship and it gets very difficult at times to live so far away, which used to lead to a lot of fights and arguments between us. The worst was our engagement, when it turned out that he couldn’t make it, and it was decided that it’ll just be a puja involving his family and me, their future bahu. I was heartbroken thinking that he would be missing from the ceremony. But as you all can guess, he DID come! Somehow, he wriggled out of work, took my entire family (including his parents) into confidence and surprised the crap out of me! 😀

  5. Ok! So here is mine what I remember really clearly.

    Disclaimer: It is quite a long one!! 😛

    Me and bf have our roots from a very small town in himachal and people are just as against about guy and girl falling in love, as everyone here might feel about terrorists. Needless to say, we dared! And we dared to meet every single day. My parents came to know about it (they are still furious!! 🙁 ), and dropped all sorts of bombs :bomb: :bomb: :bomb: on me!! :cry:, and I was insanely upset :-(( :-(( with everything happening, and refused to meet him coz obviously I was grounded and he also politely agreed to that 😐 😐 . I was feeling all helpless, down, broken and utterly sad. 🙁 🙁
    Then one fine morning (at 4 AM), he called me to come out of my house. I was like – WHAT??? NO!!!.. 😯 😯 😯 😯 And he said he was outside my house 😕 . It was drizzling outside, and it was cold too. I was shocked and scared but still anyways I was proving myself to be a daredevil every moment 😛 , I took my chappals in my hand, and softly stepped out carrying an umbrella. We both met and none of us talked :quiet: :quiet: and we both started walking. I had no idea where were we going, neither did I ask, nor did he say anything. We walked and walked over the hill, me stumbling here and there (as usual! :struggle: ), and then we reached the bottom of the hill, where I saw his bike. I looked at him asking what exactly is happening? He simply went ahead and sat on the bike. I sat behind him, still speaking nothing. He drove to some unknown path – I’ve never seen. I was still scared where were we going and I have always been a very simple and homely and phattu girl till then so doing something like this without parent’s consent was a bigggggg deal for me!!

    As I was struggling with my fear/worry/sadness and all other mixed feelings, we reached the most beautiful place, I’ve ever seen in my life. The bank of Satluj river in all its beauty and splendor, with a white mist hanging over it and adorned with rocks and trees. I was spellbound by it. There were many rocks beside the river and then a small cave made up of rocks, below which the water was flowing.

    After all the hungama and drama at home, it was really the most divine moment for me – sitting in the small cave, watching the fast flowing river with mist hanging over it, him holding my hand and sitting beside me and the drizzling water above!!! *sigh*!! O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-)

    1. I can even imagine what the place might have looked like from the way you have described it 🙂 Precious memories :rose:

                  1. awwwwww cali!!! 🙂 i was getting scared about your parents knowing this while i was reading!! what happened next??? when you went home? what did you say? i really want to know a nice convincing reason for leaving home in pjs at 4 am!!:P really.. i want to use it too!!!:D:D:D

                    1. And whyyyyyyyy would you want to use it….I don’t know any McD/KFC open at 4 a.m. for you to sneak into…so what does the :sick: mush Ogre want to do at 4 and not let anyone else know :devil:

                    2. he he ik! nothing much happened…We came back home by 6:00 – 6:30 AM. My parents were fast asleep! And I stealthily slipped back to my bed!! 😛

        1. A Big Big Big WOWWWWWW!!!!! :inlove: :heart: :heart: :rose: :rose: u r brave to do such a thing Cali… bt realllllyyyyy worth it… :dance: :jump:

  6. Rati,
    How about a ‘LIKE’ button/ checkbox/link on Comments and/or posts.
    Just like on FB.
    If as a reader I like a certain post/comment I could use the LIKE button.
    I would always LIKE Sanjeev’s witty posts 🙂

    1. By the way, there’s a facebook ‘like’ button in the top right corner of every post (above the tweet button). You can use it if you want. 🙂 Let me see if I can integrate it in the comments. 🙂

      1. ohh.. Isnt that a Share button. All I want to do is let the writter know that he done a good job.
        It would be useful for passive readers like me who wouldnt care to comment.
        I wouldnt really share a blog on FB, my boss is there,so in an office hour.. no :shout:

        1. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah but Smita…..care to comment naaaaaa please …like prettttty prettttttty please 😀 …I really should stop talking to that Ogre so much…am beginning to sound just like her 😐

            1. 😀 ohhhh…SANJEEEV..some people just don’t like to comment…just put up some flags or hopping rabbits or something people can use when they don’t want to comment… 😀 😀 😀

    1. :silly: 😛 😛 😛 ..yeah he used to call me “phattu” coz I used to be hell scared of everything. I was such a good girl, following all rules and regulations. Never going against my parents will..And now I can easily start following mangal pandey if needed!!! :-/ :-/ :-/

  7. You know Cali this reminds me of something….

    I went though a mess for whole one year to get married to Sanjeev. My parents were just not agreeing because of caste issues and loads of other things. There wasn’t a single day when I didn’t use to cry. Tears became apart of my life. Although Sanjeev supported me all this while but sometimes things used to be such that I used to lose hope and faith in everything .

    I was crying very badly one night over the phone, he just said that he was coming to my place. I both wanted him to come and not to come. I was scared that if someone catches him, things would get tougher but on the other hand I really needed him. He and his friend drove all night to reach my place. There was no way I could meet him. I went to my roof to see him. I just kept seeing him. He was there for 15 minutes and then he left.

    And he did this not once but twice or thrice. Those 15 minutes used to keep my hope alive or rather kept me alive.

    1. Hmmm :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: First time I made this trip, we got lost and we drove through some jungle trail for hours. There were thick dark trees on both sides and it was a mud trail. We were so scared of animals and robbers. Fortunately it broke open into some highway near Saharanpur. 🙂

      1. Wow..I can absolutely relate to this experience of yours Rati..Me going through some tough phase since past 1.5 years and I can very well understand how that might have felt to you!! This is such a beautiful experience!! 🙂 …..So cute of both of you!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

        1. Cali, I hope your problems get over soon. but what I have realized that at the end of the day your parents what you to be happy. 🙂

          You know one of my friend who was a Brahmin eloped and got married to a Muslim guy. Infact we were present at here marriage. She is quite happy with him. Her parents said things to her, didn’t talk to her for an year and what not. Now things have settled down at her end. Her family has accepted her marriage . It’s all happy happy now. 🙂

          I am sure your parents would also agree. 🙂

          1. Thanks for telling this Rati! I have been praying and keeping fingers crossed. I hope everything gets sorted out soon and all stay happy together! On a good note, he recently told about me to his parents, and they are quite cool about it!! :-D..So I have my hopes regaining their strength now!!! :-)) :-)) :-))

    2. this 1 is also soooo AAAWWWW,Rati!!! :cute: :dance: :rose: .. i think i shud copy my comment as i wud need to b pasting the same AWWW everytime… 😛 😛

  8. Ha…I told my hubby…I love this movie..its like so real..and he was telling me yes yes only Radhika, Deepika, Imtiaz Ali, and Saif have understood this movie because nobody else liked it :-((

      1. Hmmmmph…now I shall tell Mr. Freezer Notes that sooooooooooooo many other people’s real lives are that romantic…btw..I keep telling him he is not romantic at all and not crazy about me…and he starts singing that stupid song..crazy kiya re…ewwwww. Oh and I have banned him from reading my blog, so he told me he is going to read “Rati’s blog” and I hope he does read this today…grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

        1. i cried like a bay when i watched that movie.. it was the day the movie released.. and i had the exact same story going! hate the stupid movie!! baaahhhh humbug! :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :reallyangry: :reallyangry: :reallyangry: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug: :smug:

  9. @ Sanjeev – That is one of the cutest stories ever !!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
    @ Radhika – Your hubby knows you far too well :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: + he got you a book (definitely gets :yes: :yes: :yes: in my eyes )
    @ Cali – WOW Im speechless !
    @ Ki – Ive been in a long distance thing with my bf for almost three year – I totally get your AWWW moment coz the distance is hard !!!

    I think my most cherished moment with my partner would be … well I have two.

    The first would be how we go to know each other. He was a school friend’s best friend. I called said friend for some work, said friend was at the doctor’s and my then future bf answered the phone. He has this very distinct deep voice – i remember hanging up the phone and squealing to my best friend that this guy had the hottest voice ever and believe me they use the phrase in books but with my bf – he literally had me at “hello”.

    Our fist date happened many months later. I just wanted to have fun, he wasn’t sure what he was getting into as I was leaving the country in a few months – lots of drama. In the 3 months between us talking and our first date I had met him all of 3 times and that too never alone. Now he is from this conservative marwari family, no non veg etc. I love chicken, seriously can’t live without it. And I have lots of veggie friends and normally I don’t care but somehow this time I was just scared. So i decided to be all nice and no eat meat this one time, in case he gets offended (what did I know). We finally met for dinner and he gave me this red rose ( so cliche but so cute :D). I orderd this vegetarian pasta that I barely remember tasting. I was so nervous I coundn’t stop talking and I ended up taking like years to finish my food, while he was done with his in minutes. Lots of weird awkwardness, I can’t even remember what we talked about. We got done and left the restaurant which was just 5 minutes away from my house. Somehow though I didn’t want to go home and I think he felt it too. We just walked down the main road (the 7 bunaglows road) and some how my hand ended up in his. It was the first time I think I had ever been so aware of the fact that I had a hand. We were mostly silent, just holding hands and walking. I could feel my heart beating in my hand (seriously). It was just one of those moments …….

    I got home with the BIGGEST and I mean the BIGGEST smile on my face ….. the rest as they say is history 😀 😀 😀 😀

      1. Yahhh indeed very very cute rati.. i read upar u commenting even you don’t know why u married sanjeev… maybe this sort of stuff is what u fell for :inlove: :inlove:

    1. I know isn’t it awesome 😀 I had this hangover after watching the movie for about a week, where I would watch random bits of the film repeatedly throughout the day ! 😛 😛 😛 😛 and I had the Rama’s praises song stuck in my head ?:-) ?:-) ?:-) ?:-)

    1. I think it will take some time. I am able to integrate the ‘like’ button but it is putting load on server. Don’t want the site to close down like yesterday. Will test it at night. :-(( :-((

  10. Awwwwwwwwwwwww!………:D:D you both are so cute!!!:) unromantic ogre went aww!!:P i barf at mush :sick: :sick: :sick: ! no wonder no one stuck to me longer!! :struggle: :struggle: :idk: :weep:

    1. Hey thank you so much Insiya!! yeah…now I can say that I can “dare to do” things!! :giggle: I’ll pray for both of us!! 🙂 O:-)

  12. Is all Greek Latin gibberish to me, so I really cannot help you out Smita 😀 😀 I can only see some buttons (?) at the top of the post to share kinds….am tooo ancient to learn all this now :-((

    1. yeah that is to share, like is it like 😛
      When I say Share it gets posted on my FB (me not into sharing at all)
      Now when say LIKE , it means I appreciate but I hate to type and hence would use a click and get away 🙂 :smug: :quiet: :quiet:

  13. 😀 😀 😀 😀 …and amazingly, Sanjeev agreed to let you remain lazy.. 😀 Well..suffer for one more day…and hope he puts up the click clicks tomorrow 😀

      1. Yaa…errr…actually I have no idea..I just saw his comment go all bold there so I reminded him he forgot the :announce: I am technologicalllly very challenged…pls dont ask anymore questions on this..I am dying of sheer ignorance here 😐

  14. Heylo everybody,

    My dear gf, Janhavi, made me read this post and I must say… upon reading Sanjeev’s post , all I managed to say was awwww 🙂 .

    My partner is really awesome. She has endured, on last count close to a zillion, of my mood swings over the past 3 yrs due to many personal issues but the most romantic (or shud i say one of the most since the following is the first thing that comes to my mind when you say the words most romantic) moment was when I came back from my college trip to Goa earlier this year. It was a longgg uncomfy train journey and on my way back from the station to my house, i managed to forget my camera in the taxi itself. Now you can imagine how shitty a mood i mustve been in, especially since im not a morning person and this was like 5.30 in the morning. Well I entered my house and realisation struck (wrt the camera) and I enter my room and there on my chair is this super cute teddy bear soft toy. Now, it didnt belong to me and I assumed that it belonged to my young nieces.

    But…

    it turned out that my gf had spent the previous 8-10 days stitching it along with my mother especially for me and all this while I was living in the delusion that she used to go to my place regularly during my absence to learn knitting. Just like magic, I had an emotional shift from shitty,half-asleep mood to feeling like the happiest bf in the world.

    <3

    1. Hi Shresht ,

      Welcome to IMBB. 🙂

      I think all of us have seen saying Aww!! from past two hours. And yours was such a cute moment. Glad you shared it with us. Now I’ll pester Janhavi to send that teddy’s pic to share with all of us. 🙂

        1. Yes it is 😀 😀 i hug it everynight and sleep and im proud to openly declare it 😛 (considering some guys, including my friends, have some serious self-image issues)

    2. Hi Shresht,

      I really know how you feel. And I really feel the same. I have been managing two businesses for the past three years and at times the worries of one or the other business creep into my behavior. And Rati puts up with me all the time. 🙁

      Anyhow, I have learnt to say sorry over the years. That saves a lot of tears. 🙂

      1. Hey Sanjeev,

        Yes. Learning to say sorry is a virtue. Many need to master the art ! It’s still a bit difficult at times, but hey, we’re all learning 😉

                1. i totally understand sanjeev.

                  but im actually more of a hard liquor person. say something like vodka 😛 online beer is acceptable too 😛 😛

                  and insiya, i will never understand women + makeup. its fascinating to see janhavi in a cosmetic store going gaga over this lipstick n tht eyeliner while im sitting and smiling at the painfully bored guy over the counter while he and i exchange knowing glances of sheer wonder as well as ‘tch tch’ cos he and i are in similar situations; both of us dont have another option 😛 he needs the dough and i need to be there to save myself from a yelling 😛

                  1. Oh I am Blender’s Pride person myself but the only available counter here in GK- 1 has beer. There is no liquor shop nearby. So I had proposed whiskey but god disposed beer. 😕

                2. hahaha loved ur comment Insiya…just to add to that…its the same like how you guys wont understand what shopping means to us

                  1. awwwwwwww!!!!! you both are so cutteeee!!!:)):))
                    okay sanjeev now there has been an overdose of sweetness because of YOUU!!:P:P:P

  15. I knowwww Sanjeev…make them all share some mush mush stuff here…..sabka pershonall pershonalllll story outttt..and especially that ogre..she not at all :sick: mush like she pretends to be…

  16. okay.. i know that ogres are not very romantic and all.. but Sanjeev.. your post has made me awww more than shrek . 🙂
    i have my weird aww moments with different people. 😐 so i wont say more than this.. its just weird. :idk: :struggle: :struggle: :sidefrown: i dunno what to say.. i want to.. but i dont!:P

          1. hehe.. 😐 😐 😐 ummmm i will not say!:P actually i have just 2 awww moments!:D with 2 different people..:P i is awww and one is funny awww:P

            1. Tell the funny aww one.. we would love that you tell us about it in your weak moment today and then later on we shall use it against you. 😀 😀 😀

              What are friends for? 😀 😀 😀

              1. hehehehe yeah.. you can use it against me all my life…

                it was the last day of the Ganesh Visarjan that day.. and there were traffic jams.. and his car broke down and.. then he picked up his friends bike and came haflway.. and got stuck in the traffic.. parked it somewhere walked 8/8.5 kms and got a rick.. and ran the rest to come be with me.!!.. :)):)) (if anyone knows directions in Hyd and the nimarjan day craze.. it was from uppal to begumpet before the orr)

                okay.. the funny part..

                we took a rick.. and somehow made it to the place where he had parked the bike.. and we went there.. picked the bike up.. tried to go to his house.. but his dad and sister were not home!!:(:( they were staying over at a relatives place.. we dint know where to go!!! we roamed around on the bike aimlessly for a while.. then we got an aim. i needed to pee. :shame: :shame: :shame: like baaaddlllyyy!!! and i refused to go anywhere near a tree. :smug: :smug: :smug: sooooo…. because there was nothing open… no place to pee… he rode me till shamshabad!!!

                then wee had hot cocoa. and sat for a while.. sneezing and with terrible back aches..
                then we started again.. to go home.. ( everyone thought i was staying over at a friends place).

    1. Ikku…I searched and finally found ur Aww story….All I have to say is it truly was funnily Awwwww….I hope ur find ur ugly shrek soon 🙂

  20. Thnx a lot sanjeev or this post. in our daily hectic lives, we tend to forget these small incidents.

    Sanjeev, radhika, ki, cali, janhavi – loved ur posts.

    cali – i’l pray for u both. hv gone thru the same phase myself.

    Sorry in advance coz i feel this is going to b a bit long one.

    Today remembering all such moments spent with my hubby of nearly 5 yrs (5 yrs to be completed this november) n as boyfriend cum ex-colleague few months before that. Surprising thing is we both were avoiding each other fully for intial 6 months when we were in same orgn. Its only aftr i joined his dept that we became friends n when i left that orgn n joined smwhere else he also left the orgn aftr 1 month coz he cd’nt continue working there (w/o me). Aftr we joined 2 diff orgn we realised our feelings for each other (when i was in DELHI for my on-job training) we used to talk to each other for hours on phone. We never met each other outside office (like parks, movies) before mariage (except few hectic lunches during office hrs @ a restaurant near my office). we both used to drive on our own 2 wheelers, so got the priviledge to sit behind his bike aftr our mariage (now upgraded to 4 wheeler).

    We also faced resistance from my family coz of caste issues. But we remained strong on our decision n got married.
    Me n my mom got bedridden aftr 3 months of my marriage, so was allowed to go home to meet her n my sis. My father had completely stopped talking to me aftr our marriage for more than 2 yrs. He was shocked coz till then i was the most obidient child of his, who never said NO to anythng he said. even our relatives n neighbours used to give my example to their children for obeying their parents. He was also worried that my lil sis’s future wd b affected due to my decision. before my lil sister went to hyd for job, father started talking to me n now i’v regained my position in my family & i can say that its much stronger than before. anythng n everythng happening @ my parents involves me now. they also hv accepted my hubby n i’m happy that they hv accepted that i had taken the rite decsion that time.

    The most memorable event i remember now is –

    Aftr our marriage i’d cry for hours @ nite, missing my home, parents n sis.He’d always patiently hold me n console me for hrs till i stopped crying.

    My MiL did’nt like me going to my parents alone (when i went to visit mom few times). He wd take me home, but sit in car or drive in d campus till my work was done. or i used to inform hubby n start from office aftr work, visit mom n then reach our home. He’d also reach home @ time when i reach so that he cd say i was with him, where as his office work wd b over n he’d b waiting for me smwhere. He never reached home alone, coz MiL wd ask, my whereabts. He never asked me to stop visiting my Mom, rather few times when i’d b upset that i’m going home alone n say that i won’t go then he’d encourage me to go n say that he’d accompany me in future but till that time i hv to go alone coz my parents r alone here n my sis also working outside.

    Its not exactly the most romantic moment with my partner, but its what i’m able to remember now. actually in flashback mode rite now reliving the past 5 yrs with hubby.

    Guess it’l a little bit longer coz i rememberd smthng just now it was before he proposed to me.

    When i was in kolkata for my training n it was my birthday n i was alone 1st time. He called up to say gdnt n i was crying coz i was alone. he asked me to call him from hotel’s LL n we talked whole nite (had to dial aftr very 1 hr coz d call got disconnected aftr 1 hr) n he was lying on bed whole nite n whenever cell battery wd b low, wd put to charging n then talk again. when i had to chk out he transferred Rs 3000/- to my account so that i’cd clear d telephone bills.

    Sorry guys but as much as i’m writing i’m remembering, like i said am in flashback mode rite now.

    tkcare all of u.

    now hv to rush home, coz hubby’s in town 2nite n wd leave for his place of posting 2mro early mrng. since last 2 n 1/2 yrs we both r in 2 different cities nearly 400 kms apart, but he comes home every weekend just to b with me. initially used to drive 6-7 hrs n reach home past midnite on sat’day n again drive from here @ 4 am on monday mrng, but thnx to intercity now, i dnt hv to worry abt him driving alone @ nite.

    P.S. – Pls pray that he gets transferred to where i’m posted else gets a job in sm good location so that i can apply for transfer n join him there.

    1. Hi Nimi,

      Give a tight hug to your hubby when you reach home. 🙂 And hmmm… I know about the ‘being alone for the first time’ feeling. That was so nice on your hubbys part. I wonder if he missed the office the next day. 😀

    2. It must be amazingly hard to be apart from your husband so often for so long – Hats off to you both for making it work. Its very heartening to know that no matter what the obstacles, if you want to make it work, you can 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

  21. On weekdays aftr i reach home 1st thing i do is switch on laptop n TV when alone. i’m online n surfing IMBB posts present n also older psots n if any friends get online chat with them n do sm farming on farmville on my 2 n his 1 facebook id’s. Wont b able to read other posts 2nite coz when he’s here does’nt let me switch on laptop unless hv to book ticket for him. whenever he comes i plant crops accordingly say which takes 3-4 days to harvest. coz even when he’s working on his laptop or in concall wants me to just sit beside him.
    will chk this post again 2mro aftr reaching office for sm more memorable experiences of IMBB gang members.

    bye for now. gdnite n swtdrms.

    ki….ur moment is also nice….amazing surprise…

  23. Guysss i feel so left out cuz i don’t have a ‘real story’ , but if you ask me what was my most romantic moment, this is the first thing that come to my mind…. i’m not engaged or married and don’t have a boyfriend at the moment so this is a story that happened a few yrs ago..

    This guy and me were veryy good friends , he wasn’t my boyfriend, but he was definitely more than ‘just a friend’ , so we were 16-17 at that time, and a few of us had to go to CST for some work , we took a train to CST station, all of our friends had gone ahead , and this guy and me were walking towards the exit, it was around 11:58 on the BIG clock at the top at CST station, hope atleast some of u know it, its a huge British ke zamane ka analog clock with archaic writings n all.. so i told this guy – ‘when i was a kid, me n my friends used to make a wish whenever the clock struck 12’ , he laughed and said lets do it now. So there we were right in the middle of an extremely busy station with the Mumbai crowd walking all around us, we held hands and waited for it to to strike 12, we both made a wish and like looked at each other and smiled, and we started walking again towards to the exit still hand in hand, and i said to him ‘arre leave me hand na’ , n he said very very sweetly ‘i will never leave this hand… i want my wish to come true’ hehe i don’t know what exactly it meant .. .but i’m assuming it was said with a romantic inclination 😛
    its very silly but just the fact that we were kids and that innocence of ‘first love \ crush’ or whatever, and it happened in such ‘jaisa filmo me hota haiii ho raha hai hobahoo’ way, is what made it so special for me…

      1. This is one of those snapshot moments 🙂 I think the innocence makes it all the more beautiful…… Do you remember what you wished for that day ? Did it come true ?

        1. Yah sanjeev i do cherish it, its still special, i dont know why though 😛

          Janhavi – U know what ? Since the time i typed this story, i’ve been thinking that only , what did i ask for ? But I don’t remember what i asked for 🙁 , it was 6 yrs ago so it has kinda faded away…

    1. Smitha,

      When Sanjeev and I confessed to each other about our feelings, we decided to meet the next day. It was very awkward. After confessing I was kinda guilty that I should not have said it, we didn’t have any future ahead and blah blah . We were very close friends but that day I had nothing to say. We were sitting on a slab at a road side in CP and were doing all awkward talks. After an hour or so he held my hand. Then he said , ” you know it’s said that when you hold someone’s hand with so much passion, your destiny lines meet. ” I got so scared that instantly I wanted to tear away my hand from his. He didn’t let my hand go. He held my hand tighter and finally I had to give in. 🙁 After that I also softly held his hand even though I was so scared…

      Now when I look back I think he was right. Our destinies did meet. 🙂

      1. hehe that was really sweet… u guys have sooo many stories… and where does your hubby come up with such cute quotes, u gotta ask him !!!

      1. awwwww that should be the quote of the day… very well said sanjeev… ur gonna gets lotsa brownie points from rati for that lol

  24. ratiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii there are too many smitas your on site, i get confused reading my own comments, like not just on this article…. other articles also… so many smitas n smithas 😥

  25. 😀 okay i am feeling all shy now. 😐 😐 😐 😐 😐
    Umm..
    There have been many romantic moments in my life.
    I have been dating this guy since almost 2 years.
    I am this stupid conventional girl who believes in ONE MAN then nothing..:P You get it?
    Although i might seem as if i am , but yes ..i am like that 😛
    Okay, so
    This guy liked me , but i had decided not to get into a relationship till i complete my degree.
    I didn’t wantto get into anything …stupid and then regret.
    I knew this guy liked me since 6 months -My friend told me about it .But i gave him a “NO”
    My first year of college [I was 18 ] almost coming to an end..that time i started liking him.
    I do not why. 😛 i like guys who have a BEARD and who’re manly manly 😐
    This guy is into metal [Music] and is a guitarist..
    so i like such guys and also that he’s a very GOOD PERSON.
    okay back to the point,
    so it was the end of my 1st year and guests had come over.
    Suddenly, i get a call…
    “Hey listen can you come down..but before you come down..
    Pleaase make sure you find me ”
    I was like “Hhuh?”

    Then i stepped out of my house..
    Then i find a ROSE near my DOOR.
    Then i go ahead..Another Rose..
    then i went down..
    I found another one..which had a clue..
    so i went to this garden near my hose..
    Then i saw a Tree there..
    a Banyan tree..
    Under that
    there was a Guitar and a flower on it and i was “Huh? what?”
    Then i hear the noise of the grass..and obviously that someone was right behind me.
    It was him 🙂
    He took the guitar..
    sang the song “hey there delilah ” and asked me out 😯
    I was embarrassed okay? i mean so 😛 😛 😛 😛 sweet and..:P
    hahaha
    Okay, so then i said a “YES” 🙂

    Now comes the second part,
    we both met with an accident last year.
    It was a bad one. i got hurt on my chin..hands legs and a fracture.
    It was a bike accident.
    He had a fracture and his nose was injured 🙁
    I fell RIGHT ON MY FACE ON THE ROAD and he kept his hand under me ..so that i do not get hurt even while falling.
    Okay, so after we fell…
    He told this passerby bike to drop me till the hospital..as he had to take our scooty and park it somewhere.
    You the tyre was all damaged and his nose was bleeding and even his hands.
    he didn’t give a DAMN
    he drove the scooty [it was my scooty] somewhere and the tyre was so damaged..that it was tough to ride it..
    he was bleeding couldnt even keep this hand or leg straight..due to fracture..
    All he cared was for me.
    he was like are you ffine?
    Go to the hospital now ?
    I will takecare of everything…
    HE TOOK CARE OF ME SO WELL :-(( :-((
    That was the worst day of my life NOVEMBER 17TH but he did take care of me. :-((

        Smita- ya na i know 😛
        I live in the fantasy world
        Although i hate the romantic crap

        nids : hahahaha

        Insiya: i love the song tooooooo :O

        Rati- yes i hugged him
        Like semi- hugged him
        i was feeling ..very 😛 you get it ?
        that was too much for me.
        I am really bad at reacting to such situations.
        i act very cold haha

  26. I’m back again coz reached home first n there’s still sm time for hubby to reach home.

    Sanjeev, same kind of situation happened in our life too, if he had let me leave that day without saying anythng, we’d never hv been together now.

    It happened just before i left the orgn we worked together had a big understanding due to one of my friends, coz of which he was so angry that he was not talking to me on my last working day. whole day was like that n by evng his silence was so intolerable that i left the office crying. our colleagues told him that i had left office crying, he called on my cell & asked me to go back to office, but i did’nt so he came down 3 floors to make me stop leaving like that.

    if he’d nt stopped me that day n cleared the misunderstanding, i’d never hv talked to him aftr that. That was the turning point in our relationship.

    Another incident coming to my mind is just before our marriage, when i used to get really long lectures while visiting my relatives coz my parents had discussed abt my decision & i used to sit in d centre surrounded by my parents n relatives. they wd b telling me all possible horrible outcomes of love marriages n i’d b sitting silently n crying all the time.

    Once my mausi was visiting n i was in middle of 1 such session early mrng. (we used to talk every day aftr waking up in d mrng n before going to sleep @ nite, actually still do since in different cities now). he was calling on my cell n my cell was on silent mode. aftr several tries he called up his sister n made her call on our landline number n ensure that everythng was ok @ my home.

    finally gdnite n sweetdreams. Hope will hv lots of incidents 2 catch up 2mro mrng on this post.

    1. You know Nimi, relatives are kinda weird. The day I was getting married one of my uncle was telling my dad that he would have got ek se ek rishte for me. Half of the junta was sulking at my marriage. I think only my mom , my friends and we were happy that day. relatives behave as if everything they know is right. 😛

  27. All the experiences you guys shared were all so romantic….awwww!!!!
    I had a bad today and all these experiences made me smile and yeah m still smiling!!! :-))
    🙂 I cud actly imagine each n every moment u guys shared….
    @Sanjeev..Thanx a lot for this beautiful post… “I was more worried about Rati going out in the rain and getting wet (she was wearing a skinpy suit also that day) and people staring at her.”…. :-)) .. this so much reminded me of my bf calling me specially to ask what m i wearing on a rainy day :-)) .. i always found that cute and i never knew someone else can be like that as well…
    @Cali…i shud say…what a moment that had been!!!! awwww!!! i so wanted such a moment all my life 🙂
    @Janhavi…. What a cute teddy 🙂
    @Rashmi..that’s surely a very romantic moment 🙂
    @ ik….your experience reminded me of one of my experiences 😀 😀 !!!!(m so shy to share it :blush: :blush: )

  28. I spent a good 1 hour to read the entire post from top to bottom. 🙂
    And, I must say all our experience put together can be converted in to a little book of Love Stories.
    Ok so here I go…PS: it’s a looooonnng story, so will try to cut it where ever possible…
    Aree! 10 years purani kahani hai…heheheh!
    Part 1: How did we meet…
    Well! We meet online, yeap! You read it right. We were chat friends, much before we were friends :-))
    Our chat sessions used to last from morning 9 to evening 9 and it was during one of these sessions that Anoop (yeap that’s him) insisted on me sharing my picture 😕 . With great reluctance and hesitation I shared a few of my photographs, but that too only on one condition that he has to share his pictures with me 1st… :-/ So the deal was we hit the send button together…and ping I get mail…with his pictures and mine reaches him…So here I am looking at some pictures of a handsome young man and pop goes my messengers window with the words “I love you”… :inlove:
    My jaw dropped, :shout: I dint know what to say, he said he had developed feelings for me during our chat sessions but now after looking at my pictures it was confirmed…The practice person that I was I said this will not work out and more over I was going away to Australia for my further studies. For the benefit of both we should stop here…and carry on with our lives. After that day we used to talk but it was very formal, just keeping each other updated. After some time I flew away to Ausi Land and he bagged a job with one of the MNCs. Life went on as usual – me with my studies and routine and he with his work. We hardly communicated with each other…infact it was nil for nearly more than a year…then one fine day, I see an email in my mail box, the subject line read: I am in Sydney, where are you? Sydney/Melbourne.
    And, I was shock out of my wits :hypnotized: :X-P: , nearly fell off my chair on reading this. I somehow pulled myself together and replied – SYDNEY and sent my contact information along. The same evening I receive a call from him and with a thumping heart I speak to him. After a lot of dilly dallying I agree to meet him the next evening after my classes at one of the shopping arcades near the harbor bridge…
    So here comes the next day, moves into the next evening and I develop butterflies in my stomach…I cant concentrate in class…I am looking at the watch thinking…should I call the meeting off. A friend of mine literally walked me to the bus stand and push me into it…. The bus starts to roll and I wait in anxiety as to what awaits for me at the end of my journey. As the bus starts to slow down my heart beat I close in to my drop point, my heart pick up pace, I could here it in my head, ears…uff!!! Gives me goose bumps even now
    As the bus comes to a standstill I hopped off to be greeted with a warm smiling face and a shake hand…(how very good boy style) and we walked around the shopping arcade (the shops were all closed by then) and then he offered to take me out for dinner. I was thinking in my head : theek hai, dinner hi ki to baat hai…kha lete hai…
    I could not believe the place he took me to, it was bang on the bay of the harbor with an open terrace. It was one of the most beautiful sights and had the best view of the entire city skyline 😯 Along with some great food, Champaign I was also given a sweet gift (which I still have- safely locked up)
    Honestly it was one of the best evenings of my life…we did have many such evenings later on in life, but this has left a lasting impression in my mind.
    Ok! So here is one of such many instances where I was floored…
    Baki ke…phir kisi din sunaugi… 🙂

    1. @ Rajol
      OMG Dinner at Darling Harbour :handshake: MOST Romantic thing EVER. My heart was thumping when I was reading the bit about you in the bus and the bus rolling and you were describing your hear thumping …. Ahhhhh its sooo awesome things worked out for you :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

      1. @calic : Thanks, I am actully plaaning to pen down our entire story and may be leave it for my children and greand children to read… 😀

        @Janhavi : Darling harbour had becoome our meeting point since then… 🙂 I also remember we had spent an entire night sitting @ the harbour (10 pm – 6 am) talking. He sings really well, so he sang and I was lost in his voice… 😀

        @NIds: Thanks! Yeah,actually humari puri story hi thodi filmi hai… 😀

        @Rati: Actually, he was to be sent on a project from his company. He had two options (US/Aus). Needless I say what he choose… :shy:

  29. hehehe i totally understand why you or for that matter any sane person would be shy to share my kind of an experience!:P hehehe dont!!! these people will use it against you in the future!!:P:P and *same pinch* hehehe

  30. Sanjeev, Radhika, Cali, Ki, Jahnvi, Nimi, Rajol – Thanks for sharing your beautiful, beautiful experiences. :-)) Reading this thread making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :lashes:

    I wish I had some great stories to tell, but I’m single 🙁 With a big clock ticking on top of my head…! Too bad yo guys are setting the bar pretty high for me and Mr. Right 😛

  31. Oh..well well

    So many stories here..really inspiring and touchy ones.

    To tell you’ll about mine. This goes back to 10 years. I met my hub on Valentines Day..and no it was not that kind of a meeting where you are out on V Day to find a guy/girl and then start dating. I met him at a spiritual gathering- poojas,bhajans n stuff which happened to be on V day and were introduced to each other by a common friend. The first thing that struck me was his smile-with lovely dimples. There was something serene about him, which struck a chord.

    Email was a craze that time..In fact it was considered cool to have an email id and we exchanged ours with each other(I used to check my email once a week then and I still don’t know why I had it, coz there was no one to email me..LOL) Anyways..we never kept in touch with each other at all and after around 7 to 8 months, I find this person’s mail and discover its him and I replied to him almost after a month..Thereafter it became a regular thing and we discussed so many general things-interests,books,music. I still don’t know how this developed into a deeper relationship, but it happened. The day we decided on going serious, we both told our parents as in my hometown people are quite curious and pokey and “Love” was a big crime then 🙂

    Then begins the drama. His being an orthodox community, his parents played spoil sport. They refused to even meet me and stood stubborn. My parents were kinda happy about him, but skeptical about the relationship, coz they are quite modern in their outlook and brought us up also like that and were worried that I would suffer in a super conservative family n that too w/out acceptance.

    To cut a long story short, we both decided to keep away from each other for 2 n 1/2 years purposely just to prove that we were not infatuated, but serious enough to face life. Knowing each others phone numbers, emails address, we stayed away from each other in the same city. Well, by then I was done with my grad and I landed my first job. By then my parents were keen to get us married knowing our commitment to each other. But his parents never budged. We got married with all my relatives and family except his parents. All through this I have never ever seen him losing his smile. He told me only one thing ” My parents are being stubborn, but that will last only till the moment they meet you. The day they do that, will be the end of all their anger”

    That came true 4 years after our marriage, which was equally a painful period for us too..but then again the one thing that kept me going was my husband’s hearty smile. I respect and love him for that.

    1. @ Poornima- this is so cute. Persistence and love is all that matters 🙂
      I’m assuming your hubbys parents have warmed up to the relationship now? 🙂
      My dad always says it’s the parents who lose when they oppose their children’s wedding with trivial reasons. No one wants to be away from their children and grandchildren :))

        1. I understand Poorni. I too am from outside the circle…its takes longer than usual…if you come from a different background…but then – “ALL IS WELL” in the end.. 😀

      1. Devie – Your dad should conduct a seminar for all disapproving parents – He is 100% right and as we can see most parents come around in the end, why they need to do all this drama and be so difficult and not accept their children’s choices is beyond me ?:-) ?:-) ?:-)

    2. Poornima.. ur case reminds me of my cousin sis.. same thing happened wid them too.. boy’s family.. too caste oriented n conservative.. they also got married without the presence of the boy’s family n after 3-4 yrs of their marriage,the boy’s parents accepted her as their Bahu n remarried them.. according to their style.. nw evrything is fine b/w them.. bt i think only coz they r staying in Canada n boy’s family in India.. so time is a gr8 healer.. i think in such matters.. :-))

    3. Poornima,

      Although you have shared this with me earlier but you know reading it again brought smile on my face. Sometimes parents actually become unreasonable. More than seeing their child’s happiness they start getting bothered about what others would say. I am glad that the tough time is over in your life. May be you together always. :-* :-*

    I was taking good care of my skin before marriage and the 2years post my marriage i forgot everything about beauty & makeup except for their spellings. 😥
    And one fine day i suddenly realised its high time i get back to my beautiful self :blush: and started googling to get some product reviews and bumped into IMBB. And u wont believe the 1st 2 days i was literally (waiting for my husband to leave for office :shutmouth: ) and was reading the reviews & comments the whole day(without even cooking). And the past 4 days was like: 1st day fabindia wild rose soap and KFC, 2nd day jovees face wash & Mc.Donalds, 3rd day Coral glow face pack & Robo movie & Chola Batura, yesterday, Ponds Rebrightening night cream(actually went to get Ponds anti ageing, was in ahurry 2 get back before my husband comes home & dint even realise what i bought until i came home :sick: ), :reallypissed: .
    And somehow my husband felt something was fishy 🙁 , and i ended up telling him how i was enjoying the past 4 days. And my great darling husband asked me if i had anything left on my wishlist and, anD he is more than happy to accompany me to MAC if i could wait till the weekend. 😯 😕 :yes: 😉 :-)) . Isn’t that nice???

  35. the post was sooo awwwww!!beautiful!!!!ikku i totally know the feeling of aww with exes!!in my case though the grrrrrrss have replaced the awwwws!! 😀 but the present one is going strong and i really really hope it stays the same way!!
    i met my bf through common friends and the day we met it was soo hysterical and i knew that we would be great friends!!
    i left town and went off and made stupid mistakes in life!!which btw made life truly messy..but my bf turned out to be the best friend i could have had..he used to make numerous std calls and kept me cheerful throughout the day!!and he used to give stupid excuses that his std was free and he has no one else but me to use it on!! 😀 😀 😛 i somehow just believed it!!!coz the idea never crossed my mind that he likes me!!
    but those were the best days of our courtship!!
    we are again in a long distance relationship but i just love the sweet little ways he shows that he will always be there for me!!!

    1. Hmm… I hope everyone in a long-distance relationship finds a partner who takes extra pains to keep the love going on. 🙂

      Cheers to you sree :beer: :beer:

        1. awwww.. :):):) i know exactly what you are saying!!:):) about long distance relationships.. i hope your relationship is forever!! :):)

          i cant tell you how happy i am being single right now! i can hit on who i want.. i can flirt all i want and all my ladies nights are tension free!:P :D:D:D but it is good to know someones there.. somehow.. i’m not in that phase now. 😀 i am in the independent woman. i dont need anyone phase!!:P:P:P

  36. There are so many awwww stories here. Its making me all mushy mushy. Each one of your stories is so sweet and romantic. It reminds me of all the good times that I’ve had in the past. I don’t have a husband, boyfriend or fiance. But this happened with an ex-boyfriend of mine.

    I was 17 when I met him for the first time. Actually, he sat behind me in my language class for over a year before I realised he existed. I was in 12th then. We initially talked because of a common friend and I found out he lives close to a store that I needed a book from. So, I asked him to get it for me. Everyday that I’d see him, I’d ask if he got me my book and he’d say it wasn’t in stock. This happened for a month before I finally went and got it myself. And that was when he told me that he’d had that book for a month, but didn’t tell me because he wanted an excuse to talk to me. I was floored. I was 17 and I thought that was the cutest thing ever. That’s how our relationship began.

    Two months into our relationship, we had this HUGE fight. It was gigantic. We had this college trip to an amusement park and I hung out with my friends and didn’t even look in his direction. I hadn’t spoken to him in 4 days. I’m a stubborn person and when I get angry, I get really angry. So I spent the whole trip ignoring him again. I even made sure I wasn’t in the same bus as him. The day went fine. By the time they dropped us back to college, it was about 10pm. My house is about 1 hour bus trip from my college. And he lives 1 hour away from college in the opposite direction. So, I took a bus from college and went home. It was past 11 by the time i reached home. I live in one of those gated communities. When I reached the gate, he was standing in front of it with this huge bouquet of roses. I was shocked. I have no idea how he managed to reach my house before me and where he found flowers that late at night. And I remember the traffic was especially bad that day. When I saw him, I didn’t know what to say. I was rooted to the spot and feeling especially bad for having behaved like a petulant child. And he walked up to me, handed me the flowers, and whispered in my ear, “Please forgive me”. I think I might have started crying. Never had someone asked for my forgiveness in such a sweet way. I didn’t go home that night. We went to the airport, which was kind of close to my house, and we talked and talked and talked.

    His parents found out about us eventually. He’s from a conservative gujju jain family and they completely boycotted him. They wouldn’t speak to him. And then his cousins also started harassing me. I was young and lacked the maturity to handle all that drama. All this family opposition, the daily drama, the cousins, everything started taking its toll on me. I couldn’t take it anymore. So, I called him to my house and I told him I wanted to end it. He wouldn’t let me go. I didn’t want to either. But I was thinking practically. I had my board exams starting soon and I didn’t want all that drama in my life. Buy I left him at my gate and went home. He never left that night. He waited for me outside in the rain all night. I wanted to run to him and tell him that I was wrong, but I knew I wasn’t. In the morning, I finally went outside. We didn’t talk. We just looked at each other for ages. After some time, he just turned and left.

    That was the last time I ever saw him. College classes were almost over. The few times I did go to college after that, I think he made an extra effort to make sure I didn’t see him.

    Its been 4 years since this happened. Those memories don’t hurt me anymore, but I cherish them. Had all that happened today, I think I might have been better prepared and more mature to handle it. But I guess everything happens for a reason.

    1. i agree with you everything happens for a reason. but have to say you had great courage to deal with it however you did. :hugright:

    2. everyone makes decisions based on their life experience at that point of time. And the older we get and the more we experience, we feel we will handle things better today. but you did the best you could. lots of hugs for you Pooja

      1. tight hugss to you Pooja….I always believe in the quote ” Whatever happens, happens for the best” though at times it takes us a while to realise whts the best in whtever happened

    3. Pooja: A BIIIGGGGG HUG TO YOU…I know its easier said than done, but life always has its own way to give back what it has taken away from you….and trust me it will be much more rewarding then what you have sacrificed… :yes: Cheer up Buddy!!!

      1. i cried! i cant believe this! i am a very selfish person. and i cried because of this. i know what you mean by it doesnt hurt anymore.. :)… huggss!! for happiness!!:-*

    4. Loads of :hugleft: :hughright: :hugleft: :hughright: & Prayer :worship: so that you can again find “The Best” for you. :puchhi: :puchhi: . it was really touching.. 😥 😥 😥

    5. @Pooja, i got tears in my eyes reading this post…..
      I know am commenting on a very old post but has recently joined the IMBB gang…
      It is such lovely experience reading all these aww moments….

  37. My heart just broke – :brokenheart: :brokenheart: :brokenheart:

    I can see it was the best – sometimes it takes great strength to walk away – no point flogging a dead horse as they say

    *hugs*

  38. Reading this post made me smile and think about my memorable moment with hubby. For that you have to know the person I was before our marriage 🙂 .

    My father is a person who believes that just because he is paying for food, house and stuffs, everybody should listen to him. He used to say that If you don’t want to, you can get out of the house. So from my teenage years, I decided that I would never give a guy/man that kind of power where I would be dependent on him. I was very practical and was not interested in guys. All I wanted was to finish my studies, get a job and live independently. I rejected lot of boys/guys at school and college knowing that they were just infatuated because I was friendly and nice 🙂 .

    Then came the time for marriage and my mom was scared that if I leave the house, I won’t be back. She was also scared that I would find someone else of my own but she didn’t understand that for me if I had to marry someone, then I would wait till my late 20’s rather than surrender my freedom by 23 🙂 .

    So the drama began of guys coming to see me, etc, etc. Somehow none of the rishta was right (thank god). Then came this rishta from a relative of my fathers. All I did see was that his mom are from the same city as my father and immediately in my mind I rejected it 🙂 . But mom was saying just to see him and if I don’t like this rishta, then they won’t proceed with it. After seeing him, for the first time I was nervous, he was such a smiley person and all I could do was smile back 😀 .

    We then went out to a cafe and had a small chat and he left for Ireland the next day. He is just a year older than me and when I asked why he wanted to marry so early, he said that he needed a friend and companion in his life 😀 . The following 6 months before the wedding were pretty surprising and exciting. He was such a romantic 😀 whereas I was not. He used to email me this long letter and text me with cute SMS throughout the day. For the valentines day, he sent me a huge bouquet and a cake and my parents and grandpa was so surprised 😀 and I was in shock as well coz I just wasn’t expecting it.

    Then on my B’day, he sent me this huge card, aromatherapy oil set and a cute little teddy bear. I have to say I was little bit embarrassed opening infront of my mom as she was curious as to see what he sent me 😀 . As he was the most romantic and nicest guy I have ever met, I didn’t know how to behave with him at first but slowly we became good friends before our marriage. He was always considerate and he listened to me. He supports me a lot and the surprising thing was he is the kind of person who hugs and kisses a lot 😉 .

    Its been 6 years since our marriage and he completely changed me :-)) . I am more happy and relaxed with everyone. I am more patient than I was ever. He is still my best friend and he accepts me as I am with all my faults and insecurities . I have to say that I have been very lucky in finding such a wonderful guy for a husband. And some days he still manage to surprise me with flowers 😀 . All the memories throughout our engagement always brings a smile to me. I still have the printout of all his emails and he has them as well 😀 .

            1. Sooo Cute.. :worship: :worship: :worship: finding Guys who can Love u forever & change you for betterment are “Real Search”.. God Bless you both 😀

  39. I want to thank all the people who shared their lovely stories in this post :rose: :rose:
    You’ve all made this the BEST POST EVER. God bless you all 🙂

    1. You are welcome Rajol 🙂

      It was such an impulse post because Insiya’s henna post made me remember some past moments and then I thought I should ask others also. Glad that I posted. I don’t know about others but Rati and I were very mushy yesterday because of this post.

      P.S.- And then we went and watched a horrible movie called ‘Anjana Anjaani’ :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

  40. Wow.. guess this is the longest set of comments I have seen.. I am a passive viewer of this blog. I always take a sneak peak before I begin work every morning. But this post is so interesting I couldn’t just stop reading.. Good luck to all of you with your life.. especially Rati and Sanjeev.
    I have been married for a year now and I have known my hubby for the past 3 years. We met at work and are still colleagues who bump into each other and keep a serious face at office.
    But I just love every minute I spend with my hubby and he has done so much for me that I don’t know if I can pay back in this one lifetime.. 🙂 🙂 🙂
    Too senti ryt?? hehe

    1. Jaish..heyy aren’t you the one who went to Goa..or are going to Goa? 😀 😀 Your comment wasn’t about any particular experience but still it was so sweet….if it was senti..it was GOOD senti…I likeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :-*

      Ikkkeee..I am going to be thrown out of office because of this post..just like your thesis problem :-((

  41. Hey all, luvvveed all these memoirs of all you n everyone was truely amazing…

    I wanted to share wid all of you that how did my BF (Read now my fiance-we getting married on 16 jan) we both joined as Management trainees in CCD , n were posted in Bangalore but none of us gave any serious thoughts to each other at that tyme…

    it only did started after few months after i got posted to kolkata n started working, initially we started talking to share the work thingi and then likes , dislikes n personal issues as both of us were going through heartbreaks at that times , i dont know one day he was upset on something n we chatted til 5 in the morning n then suddenly he proposed i got very furious n avoided n said nothing can be done but then everynight after we used to bid goodbyes to each other , he would keep saying it every time while keeping the phone..

    n the day came wen something happened n he was completely sad about it n said tum yahaan aa jao , aur sab theek ho jaayega… i dont know wat happened to me , (as i was always a girl in the shell)i managed wid all the money i had bought the ticket for the next day n called him up at 2 am in the morning n said i am coming n my flight was at 5 am…

    n i dont know wat happened to me n guess wat i was there at bangalore airport only to find him at the airport…the entire day he kept holding my hand n we roamed around bangalore without speaking anything..n i took this late night flight n came back n only to find while returning that i was in love wid him…

    we kept on doing this one day from bangalore to kolkata for a day on our offs for a year…when after my Dad expired n had to come back to home..

    he was there all this time for me n my family…n one day he popped the question bfore my mum on,how much he wanted to marry me n wud keep me happy !!! n as they say rest is history…

    1. Your story reminded of myself last year, when my Bf was ill and he simply said if I could meet him. He was in Himachal and I was in Bangalore, and donno what happened to me, I simply booked my tickets immediately the same Saturday night, traveled to Delhi , reached there at 12 midnight, waited alone at airport till morning 6 AM, then traveled to Delhi railway station to catch morning Shatabdi train to Chandigarh and reached Chandigarh by 10 AM. All my strain and tiredness was gone the moment I saw him there. :-). We stayed together till afternoon 2 PM after which he left for himachal and I headed back to Delhi~ Bangalore!! phew!! O:-) O:-) O:-)

      Love can seriously make you do the unthinkable!! 😛

      1. Coudn’t agree with you more on this Cali. I remember running out of my hostel in Ausi at 2-3 am just cause he would have called and sail – “I am feeling terriblely home sick, I am missing my family. Can you meet me?”. I wouldn’t wink an eye and dash out of my hostel door…
        Phew!!! the thimgs we do in the name on Love… 😉

    Hubby left for his place of posting today mrng & i dropped him @ station. he knows i’l cry seeing him leave so everytime he gets down from the car asks me to leave first then goes into station.
    still by the time i reach home there r tears in my eyes each time.
    n many times hv seen tears in his eyes too when we r starting from home to station. these times we dnt speak n just hold hands the whole drive.

  44. Dear HD, thnx a lot but pls pray that we r together soon.
    just reading – long-distance relation ends soon..
    had my eyes popping out.

    1. Oh God!!! no no nimi…I am so sorry if I have hurt ur feelings…by saying long-distance relation ends soon I only meant that either he gets posted in ur city or gets another job in a city where u cud get transfered…I only meant that u guys are together

  45. amazing

    me and hubby met at a naval club by the sea shore at night for the very first time in Mumbai
    the sea breeze and the moon light and the tides and everything else was magical

    the sea at night is indescribable

    1. i mean when u meet ur life partner/ soul mate …for the first time…u just know that HE is the one
      that first moment when i met him for the first time was magical and made me realize that this is the best thing to have happened to me….

  46. Sanjeev,
    First a big thumbs up for ur idea of this post :yes: ….you gave everyone a chance to peep into the past and think of all the wonderful moments with that special someone.
    This post has the longest number of comments.
    For me reading the comments was like reading the scripts of some good love stories. :inlove: and i had mixed emotions: smiling, laughing, crying,,,,in btwn i had to run and get the tissues also as i found myself crying(though i was not very sure they were the result of too much laughing or from sadness)…
    And how lucky you are to have Rati. And all the running around in the rain…i think Rati also lucky. God bless you both… :umbrella: :inlove:

  47. Its ok HD, u dnt hv to say sorry to me.
    i know u meant well, but i was just sharing my first reaction with u.
    😮 :tremble: 😮 :tremble:

    On rereading i knew what u meant.

    Thnx a lot, we really need all the wishes n prayers.
    since last 2 yrs we r not together on our anniv coz it falls on working days. This year too its working day in mid week.

    Let’s see if it becomes a hat trick of spending our anniv alone & separated from each other.

  48. Radhika,
    Your treasure hunting for the gift was too good. Bye the way, did you find icecream in the freezer??? :present:
    I had a cake experience on my birthday too. The prevoius night i found him so preoccupied in his thoughts, kind of worried, trying to ask me or tell me something but couldn’t….kind of….
    After half an hour or so he comes to me and tells me, “see this is a general question, not that i have bought a surprise cake for ur birthday, do i need to keep the choclate cake in the fridge??” :cake:
    And He still continues to be really bad at giving surprises.
    The night before our wedng ann., i told him “please if you have any surprises please keep it to yourself(back in mind i was pretty sure he will tell me) and he was like, “ofcourse i have
    decided strongly that i will not tell you until 2morow evening that i hav bought tickets for the movie, you wanted to watch i hate luv stories na???
    I find it cho cute that he can’t hide it from me…

    1. Lol, I am a little bit like that, though sometimes I DO give surprises. My problem is with buying gifts; Rati’s is so choosy and our choices don’t match. One day I was with her and trying to buy her a watch. After I had shown her some 4- 5 of my choices she gave up in exasperation “tum rahne do, main khud khareed loongi.” :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

      It’s like Calvin said- “If you do the job badly enough, sometimes you don’t get asked to do it again”

      1. Oh I am thinking that is like the guiding principle for guys…you all must be carving it in stone and hanging it behind the smelly socks wardrobe door 😀 😀 😀 😀

      2. Awwwww!!! Sanjeev….But I am sure Rati is mastered the art of gifting you the right things…
        Hai Na Rati..???
        Taking of gifts…I remember one insidant…Since I was in Aus and he had to return back to India at the end of his 4 months project…We were in a long distance relationship for 4 years…
        During the 1st year of our long distance courtship @ my B’day I recieve a DHL Jumbo box :present: on my name at the door…I was ?:-) completely confusied as to who had sent it…
        So in I carry this jumbo to my room and pull the to-from invoice out and was shcoked to see his name on it… I was very very extited now… :jump: . So as I un packe the box, what I see…11 beautiful dressess…I was completely :hypnotized: and one seperately packed with a note on it which read – “Your B’day dress”… :blush: . Alnog with this I have a bunch of cards…
        and later in the eveining I recieve a gift basket with a bottle of :liquor: wine, box of hand made chocolate, bunch of roses and a big Teddy bear…
        All my friends @ the hostel were ahhhssss and uuuhhhsss that day…and I was totally :blush: :blush: :blush:

        1. OMG…I think whenever I find someone I will ask him to read this post so that he gets some ideas to create Aww moments for me :laugh: :laugh:

    2. Veda…your hubby is so cute..hehehehee…Yes yes ice cream was there…those were the good old days when my hubby hadn’t realized just how fast I can empty a tub of ice cream :-(( :-(( And it was kind of like a treasure hunt and it was funny the book was the Da Vinci Code, though my hubby won’t read a book like ever, I think unless its a geeky gadgety user manual…so he really didn’t realize the connection..so it was unintentional :rotfl:

  49. Well my luv story can be a labelled as a hardcore masala hindu movie..I am a muslim gal married to a Hindu Kashmiri Pandit :giggle: ….we studied in the same engineering college in chiplun..near goa…his muslim frnd had a huge crush on me n i was already in a relationship…so he was like setting me up wid his frnd and ended up falling for me!!!! He was in the final year and i in the first year…u knw how it is for fresher…like fresh maal aya hai collg mein n all so i always got a lot of attention from all da guys :beauty: ..but wen we met for da 1st time he didnt pester me like othr guys or sopke more than a hello n i was like wat da hell!!!! :reallyangry:

    But den wen he was like setting me up wid his frnd we ended up spending a lot of time talkin…n in the end he proposed to me…i was confused of course so ididnt say yes…but den one day i was leaving for my home in mumbai n he came to drop me at the chiplun station..i was goin by a passenger train which takes 8 hrs to reach mumbai…wen the train was leavin i realised how much i will miss him..so i told him “I will miss u”..n guess wat did he do…he got on th train and came to drop me at my house taking that 8 hrs ka journey (without tckt).. 😉 and den another 2 hrs upto my home… :-)) …lol…dat was the craziest thng and the most romantic thng he has done for me!!!!! :inlove: N i fell in love!!!! :inlove: :giggle: :inlove:

  50. Ki,
    Thats was a real good surprise from him.
    And I envy u. Infact i envy all those who got engaged officially before marriage. :smirk: 😐
    Our inlaws had sentis abt official engagement, so we had a “skip intro” kind of thing & we directly got married.

    1. Veda,

      We had roka, ring ceremony and wedding all on the single day. Infact till day of my marriage my dad was asking me if I was sure of what i was doing and I could still decide against marrying Sanjeev.

      Now all of it sounds so funny. :rotfl:

  51. Thanks Nids & Rati for ur warm welcomes. Cho Chweet of u.
    Rati, i am planning to get eyeliner pencil & eye shadow from MAC.
    Bye the way is Anjaana Anjaani NOt good???Planing to watch this weekend.

    1. You do not want to ask that question here, Veda…tempers will flare and etc., etc. To answer the question though..errr..I heard its BAD :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:

    2. Veda, the movie starts with the hero and heroine trying to commit suicide. And in the rest of the movie you keep hating them for not doing it. :pissedoff: :pissedoff: :pissedoff:

    3. I can’t believe people don’t like the movie. I loved anjaana anjaani. Ranbir and Priyanka were so cute. And there were some really great moments in the film.
      But i might be biased cos I’m a big fan of rom coms.

  52. Remembered another incident. I think i’m d only 1 sharing more than 1 incident in this post. I guess our whole story wd b here b4 i kno.

    This is of my birthday this year n it was the day before my nanand’s marriage so all in-laws n relatives were @ home. since last 2 yrs we both hv missed each other’s birthday’s n anniv coz falls on working days. but htis time he was here n i was nt expecting any gifts bt expecting him to atleast wish me @ midnite coz had been hinting to him that i’l get calls @ midnite from my parents n lil sister n BiL.

    I knew (6th sense) that he n my nanand were planning smthng for me. but did’nt ask him, else he’d hv said it. so though they were acting suspicious i kept quite n we went to sleep early coz nxt day being nanand’s marriage had to wake up early for sm rituals.

    I was nt asleep n waiting for him to wish me. @ midnite got a call from my parents n newly married sis n BiL, but hubby dear was snoring nicely. around 12.15 am (all our family memebers were asleep), both my nanand’s fed up of waiting for him to call them came n knocked on our door. i opened the door n was wished nicely with a b’day cake n candles n all. they came inside n woke up hubby n he woke up rubbed his eyes n asked innocently “Is it midnite allready, but i had set alarm n it has not gone off yet”.

    I checked his mobile n saw he had set the alarm for 12.00 instead of 00.00, which means the alarm wd hv gne off @ noon the next day.
    We 3 girls (me n his siters) were laughing n teasing him. The cake was so yummy that we 4 finished it off completely.

    Next day mrng, got wished again by all & MiL was told that we had cut n eaten d cake @ nite. she told why did’nt any1 wake me up. Hubby left home 5 mins aftr that n aftr 20 mns i was cutting another b’day cake with all family n relatives around. Got to cut another cake that eveng when was called to office urgently for sm work.

    So this year on my b’day got to cut 3 b’day cakes n will always b memorable for me coz we were 2gether aftr spending 2 b’days separated.

  53. Cali,

    thank God for all the “getting lost in the jungle episodes” that gave hope for you. :lion: :monkey: :panda: :tiger: :umbrella:

  54. I was back again looking at all the stories here and am like awww…

    Thanks Rati n Sanjeev Bhai for doing this post..At times it feels lovely to just travel back in time and recall the beautiful moments.

    Speaking of surprises, my hubby is a person who doesn’t believe in gifting often..esp roses,chocolates n all are definitely not his cup o tea..But when he does gift, he shocks the hell outta me. I am shameless..and keep begging him “Atleast bring me a rose once in a while..please”.

    This reminds me of a gift he gave me. It was around 2 or 3 yrs ago, when the Ipod was launching its new nano version. They were coming up with lovely colourful ones and on the occasion of V day, they were launching a pink one..and all publicity about it being a perfect V day gift n all that.

    On 13th Feb, We were on our way to buy a MAC book for me and in the Apple counter,
    I happened to see the brochure for the new I-pod. And music for me is life..
    I read the brochure through and through and was really in love with that model as it was handy and cute. I casually enquired about it to the staff and they said unfortunately Bangalore stores would be getting them only after a week and it would be available only in a few shops in Delhi as of now 🙁

    We bought the laptop and were supposed to come back next day for getting all the required softwares n stuff installed by the service engineer. The next day, my hubby delayed the program till late evening for no reason and we were literally rushing to the shop, fighting heavy traffic n all..I was quite furious as I was getting eager to start using my Macbook.
    Above all this, he was constantly messaging on his phone while driving, which drove me nuts. At last we reach the shop only 1/2 n hour before they close and the service guy starts working on my laptop. The work wasn’t getting over and they shut the shop and we were inside, still getting it formatted n all. I was all the more furious becoz it was V day and I wanted to go out for a special dinner.

    It was almost 10 or 10.30 by the time we finished with the formatting and installing work and were about to get out from the shop…my anger had subsided thinking I would get to use the laptop soon, but damn hungry and thirsty. As we leave the shop, suddenly this Apple sales girl comes to me and hands over a packet, all gift wrapped n all. I didn’t know what it was and I looked at my hubby. He was as usual smiling at me and nodded, asking me to accept it. And he said “Looks like its their freebie for you for purchasing the Macbook”. I said ok and again turned to leave, when the girl asked me to open and see if I liked it. It felt quite weird, but I thought ok. I open the pack and what do I see? The same pink Ipod nano, which I was secretly admiring the previous day. Me being the buddhhoo then only realised that all this was my hubby’s work. He was co-ordintaing with the sales guy and girl at the Apple counter right from the previous evening only through sms, purchased it from the dealer in Delhi, got it delivered by air to Bangalore and had it waiting for me at the store.

    That was the first time ever I cried in a public place and those were tears of joy..The sweet sales girl seeing me all senti, her eyes too welled up with tears and she said ” Ma’m..I’m so touched by the affection he has for you”

    1. Awwwwwwwwwwww Poornima…this is my favorite story…sorry everyone else..this one wins for me. Cute guy…cute girl (err..now she is becoming a monster)…and Apple. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhh..and I like Apple even more now…their staff is so supercute….I want a MACBOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKkkk 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :-((

  55. Poorni, Rati, Cali and Nimi …… my story is a mix of all …
    Friend turned beau. moi and sajit were friends. when he went to germany for a short term onsite in may 2008 (jus three months)we felt that there is more than friendship. We talked over phone continously during my office hours (i thought my company will sack me for all those STD calls i have made 😛 )

    when he came back that nite (aug 10 – we declared it as our aniversary), my usual boldness was missing. I was blushing and butterflies in stomach. He hugged me gently and placed a kiss on my forehead :shy: . he is just 7 months elder to me, but acts so matured and within two months we decided to tell our parents. My parents were against it from the starting, his parents were kwel abt it .
    After so much melodrama and cold wars, my parents spoke with his family over phone and decided to meet his family next month. 🙂

    Guys thats all our story, inbetween i even thought of leaving him, but he never left ma side and i was house arrested for a year. That was the time i really get to know him more and once again i fell in love with him . If things go well, we might get engaged soon, do pray for us 🙂

  56. veena – I’l surely pray for u both.
    Poornima – ur story brought tears to my eyes too. just hope no1 in office notices it. actually attendance is less today coz since morning its dark n continuously raining.

  57. I wonder if it’s too late to post a comment here, but I will in any case. I don’t have a boyfriend and I’m not married. What I’m writing is about this guy who was my childhood friend, first major crush, first boyfriend, first love and first heartbreak.

    I’ve known him my whole life – our parents were neighbours since forever and our dads also work together. One of the cutest things actually happened over 2 decades ago – on my 2nd B’day.

    My parents had a B’day party for me and had invited all the neighbourhood children to attend. This particular guy was 3 at the time. My father seated all the kids, with me in the centre to take pictures of us. This boy happened to be seated next to me. As my dad was clicking pics, I suddenly turned to this boy and planted a kiss on his cheek. And my dad captured it on camera! I still have the pic and it is so cute (if I can say so myself).

    We used to play together a lot at that age, but we slowly grew apart. By the time I was around 10, we had stopped talking to each other and had different friends. Then I developed my first major crush – on him. Boy was I crazy about him. And years later – when we were both still in our teens, he told me that he liked me a lot. And we got together. We told our parents right away and they didn’t have any issues with it. For a couple of years we would meet up every day on the terrace of my building and talk for hours (his parents were still my neighbours, but he had moved out).

    Another sweet memory is when I fell sick once. I had a high fever and almost fainted. I had no appetite at all and wasn’t eating well. But the flue was in the air I guess and he was also sick. But he still came to meet me everyday. He would come to my house and get things for me – food that I liked a lot and sometimes even medicines.

    It was a beautiful relationship. But unfortunately it didn’t last. On hindsight I realise that we were both really immature and both made a lot of mistakes. If the same situations were to take place now, I’m sure we would do things differently and make the relationship work. But in any case, I don’t regret the break up. It gave me the change to mature and, as corny as it sounds – find myself.

    I still run into him from time to time. And it is a bit awkward, but we always smile at each other. I still care about him and I am sure he feels the same about me. He is and always will be my first love and I wish him all the best in his life.

  58. Poohkie,
    sometimes separation also teaches us things, that being together can’t.

    i guess its never late to post a comment here, coz it will b amongst the popular posts for sm days to come.

  59. i completely agree veena, some men may not express their love romantically but they do small things which let us know that they care for us. they know our likes n dislikes n remember them, though we smtimes won’t remember. n they may say they won’t b able to make it for an imp event but they’d surely try hard to be there n may actually appear out of the blue fighting all odds, when u’d hv given up that they wd arrive.

  60. God, this is all so inspiring and cute !! I m a complete newbie here…… and I must admit, I m loving it here ! Especially reading about these experiences is indeed an amazing feeling !!
    Me and my boyfriend also have certain caste issues between us as well…. But u guys totally inspire me !! totally !! Thanks !! really !! :-)) :-))

  61. very true, 🙂 this topic is like watching an emotional movie 😥
    IMBB should sponsor tissues to wipe off those joyful tears 😀

  62. you know rati the funniest thing happened today!!i was at my bf’s place this afternoon to visit him and aunty.by evening i was ready to leave and we both were supposed to go shopping.so i washed my face and had nothing but the oriflame peach me tinted moisturiser with me to use.when i was applying it my bf commented that, soo this is why you have become so fair nowadays!! :silly:
    now my bf is wayyy much fairer than me but nowadays because of all the work in factory he has tanned a lot!!so he was asking me for tips to reduce the tan and proceeded to use the peach me “moisturiser”!!! 😀 😀 he has this habit of looking at every skin care or makeup item i use and gets highly curious about it and if possible he uses it too!!!e.g. he just has to use my deo even if he has one of his own!!!(he is a complete kid in such matters!!!!)
    it was so funny with we both trying to see ourselves in the same mirror and putting on stuff!!i told him its more like a foundation but only the word ‘moisturiser’ stuck to his head!!! 😀 😀
    after that when we were in the rickshaw i could totally see the light reflecting off from the shimmer particles!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: and i told him that!!he totally freaked out then and kept on trying to rub the thing off his face for the rest of the evening!!!it was sooo hillarious!!!

  63. I think I may have posted this comment elsewhere – Rati please delete it since I cant do it myself 🙁

    Ive been so inspired reading everything in this post, all the comments…. You guys are awesome. Maybe someday someone should turn this into a book :-)) :-)) :-))

    Reading all this got me thinking alot and I found myself remembering this poem…
    Wanted to dedicate this to all of you – who showed me that happily ever afters aren’t just for Fairy Tales….

    Let me not to the marriage of true minds
    Admit impediments. Love is not love
    Which alters when it alteration finds,
    Or bends with the remover to remove:
    O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
    That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
    It is the star to every wandering bark,
    Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
    Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
    Within his bending sickle’s compass come:
    Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
    But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
    If this be error and upon me proved,
    I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
    William Shakespeare
    (1564 – 1616)

  64. Hmm… It’s 3:30 am and we had a really really rough day. Our server has been crashing down for the past one week because of heavy traffic load and we just found out that someone has been attacking our server with scripts. So while Rati has been sad and working on IMBB, I have been grim and coordinating with my server guys all day and nearly all night.

    Anyhow, Rati is sleeping and I just came to read this post to bring some smile on my face. This is really a precious post. For all of us here. I am glad this post happened. And I am really peaceful and smiling right now. 🙂

  65. Gdmrng sanjeev, this post is precious to me also, so hv it bookmarked n will surely come back & read it whenever sad / upset / lonely.

  66. Thnx a lot rati, keeping my fingers crossed n nt planning anythng as of now. Coz anythng i plan is sure not to happen. So if we r together this anniv, wil do sm instant planning.

  67. This is much like an AWW moment that I’m sharing . I don’t have a particular Romantic moment to share coz I feel romantic any time I’m with my Fiance( God, I don’t know what I’m typing, I’m smiling while I type this). Me & Fiance were college buddies & we didn’t know when we started liking eachother! Anyways the Aww moment was when me & Fiance were walking to the college bus stop( It was 10 min walk from college to the bus stop), & suddenly I see one of the thongs of my beautiful FlipFlop( Gift from him :blush: ) broke & I was very embarassed :silly: bcoz there were so many people around & I had to walk bare feet before I could reach a shop to buy another pair! Fiance rescued me, he asked me if I had a safety pin & when I gave him the safety pin , he took my FlipFlop in his hand & some how managed to make it wearable till I reached home( I wasn’t interested in buying a new pair at that moment, didn’t want him to spend money)! :inlove:
    That was the moment I realised that he is going to stand by me forever & he has always lived up to my expectations. :shy:

  68. After reading so many romantic stories, I am really do not want to post mine….its such a routine one…….nobody fetched umbrellas for me :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :umbrella: :snail: :umbrella: ….nor did somebody leave notes for me in the freezer :-(( :-(( :-(( ………..I am not much of a romantic….I think the most romantic moment for me was when I and my hubby went on honeymoon with 18 members of my family :monkey: :monkey: :monkey: :monkey: :monkey: :monkey: :monkey: :monkey: :monkey: :monkey:…..I mean he wanted to go to Munnar (its a hill station) and I wanted to go to Kanyakumari where 18 of my family members including parents, cousin brothers and sisters were going and I did not want to miss out on the fun :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: they were having. I wanted to spend time with my family whom I knew well rather than some guy who I had seen for just one time before marriage. The romanticity about this is that he was trying to get familiar with me in a crowd of 18 people :meeting: :meeting: :secret: :secret: :meeting: and I was trying to avoid him…….at that time, it was very annoying to me….but now when I look back….it seems to be the most romantic time of my life……. :kissing: :kissing:

    1. Jomolllllllllllllllll…that is soooo cute..and your hubby is soooo cute.. :-* :-* :-* :-* Mr. Freezer Notes and I arranged marriage..we never went for any honeymoon anywhere…came back to Bangalore after a week or 10 days of Kerala. For me coming back to Bangalore was better than any honeymoon!!! And he promptly went to office ever after after that! And and and…my second birthday after marriage..my bday is on June 1…around July mid-week one fine day he very casually asks me..”When is your birthday” He didnt just forget my birthday..he didnt even know it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      1. Awww!! Radhika…I dunno what to say :hugleft:

        But you should hav etold him your Happy Buddy na… Like you have told is that your BUddy is on June 1 :announce: :announce: :announce:

          2. IT was cute…Like me like arrange marriage stores. They have all shy shy stuff. 😀 😀 I don’t think I have ever been shy of Sanjeev. 😛 😛 😛 😛

          3. Yeah Rads, my hubby keeps forgetting everything I say, what to do, Happy Budday he remembers, he knows I will kill him otherwise…… :knife: :zombiekiller:

      2. Hey Rads, have you watched “Mithunam”……….my hubby and I were in a similar situation 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 ….I was “mohanlal” at that time. :snicker:

        1. i just imagined Aaroham with lots of mustache!! hahahahahaha :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: maybe for you i imagine Aarohan with long hair.. God!! Jomol, you have to change the picture!:P your son is too cute! but my imagination is strange! hehehe :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:

    I think if 18 members of my family were going even i wud run away forget hubby(whoever he will be) :sweat: :sweat: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

  71. I dont know for me what is my MOST romantic moment! ?:-)
    Its because I just got into a relation 15 days back when I was in Delhi recently for Diwali. :silly: :silly:
    Before that we had a fights :brokenheart: ….he wanted me to be reserved types…. 😕 (according to him I have many male fan following :-/ and me being too frank is a major problem :pain: )
    So after all the 10 days of dating dating in Delhi….I noted few things which nobody else made me feel. :rose: :heart:
    The most memorable would be a sort of routine he did….He use to meet me at metro station close to my home (as I am not aware of Delhi roads so much). :struggle:
    When I use to climb down the stairs of metro stn….he would be waiting there down sitting calmly (I use to be always late latif 😛 …sometimes 30 mins…ouch! :-(( )
    The moment he saw me….came towards me and hold out his hand asking for mine….people giving glances 🙄 …awww I use to me so embarrassed :blush: ….but this small gesture just won my heart. :kissblow:
    The very last day on 10th Nov, he proposed me again. I was sad as I had to return back to Mumbai….and not sure how serious he is ?:-) . He again asked for my hand and said “Jinal, I love you. Once my elder cousin gets married…3 months later we will get married. Does this make you happy?”
    And I was like 😯 😯 😯 .
    But this is just the beginning. I am dying to meet him again this December. May be then I could update with something more memorable. :kissing: :kissing: :hugleft: :hugright: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

  72. OMG- m in tears now…. just stumbled upon this post and m reading all the cmnts since an hr now ….
    beautiful yaa 🙂
    Sanjeev ji, Rati, Cali, Ikki, KI, and others.. hats off man.

    😥

  73. I just went through this post and I’m overwhelmed.. The best post ever on IMBB and no wonder it is among the popular list 🙂

  74. I just loved reading all the above stories………….. 🙂

    i know i am too late (7 months late) to comment now on this post…. but sanjeev sir told me that u can comment on any post no matter how old it is……………….
    so here i am with my boring moment….. many of u will not find anything romantic in it but me being a Tom boyish girl and he being a geek it was very romantic for me and him………………. its been more than 5 years now and we hav seen lots of ups and downs in our relationship….

    but the moment i am talking about is wen i was in my college (initial time of our relationship)……. it was a day before holi….. back then i never used to play holi nor does he…..but still he said that he wants to play holi with me…. so i told him that its next to impossible as my dad will be picking me up from college…… so wat he did was he made a fake call on my landline and told my dad that he is calling from voltas AC and he will be coming for the free of cost maintainance thng and all that….as FREE is golden words for my dad, so he called me and told me that he will not be able to come and that i come on my own….. i dint had any idea wats happening …………….i was so surprised (and embarrassed as well) wen i came out of my college gate and saw him standing there with gulal ka packet in his hand and smiling …….all my frnds knew about it …..they dint told me anything…..we all played holi on the road …it was so fun……. wen we were going back to our home in auto, only then he told me all bout his fake call to my dad n all…… i dint knew that he can come up with such ideas as well considering he is not at all romantic NOT AT ALL (he keeps on talking about new softwares and gadgets on a romantic candle light dinner as well……….meri kismat :X-P: )
    but still I love him O:)

  75. O:) Sanjeev Ji: So Cute & Romantic it was… :worship: :worship: :worship:
    same story was happened with me also.. I was with my B.F planning to go for a Ride on Bike as Mausam was so Romantic that day(he do have a Car but i forced him to go for a Bike Ride).. :inlove: I wore a Cotton Tunic(which was gifted by him only) & was not Trasparent at all until it get wet.. we were on the way from Rajouri to Naraina(known as Industrial Area) to go atleast till India Gate…Suddenly it started Raining & i was worried because My kurti became wet very soon & i started crying bcoz every1 was litteraly staring at me.. My boyfriend started hunting for some Dupatta or Long Scarf but we were unable as it was a Industrial Area.. after 5 min of shame he parked his bike in front of some factory to give me his Shirt but we realized that its a Reebok factory & we entered the factory w’out any 2nd thought.. he purchased me a Nice T-Shirt which was around 1200.. 😯 others are also there for 200-300 rupess but he said “This is for you & it should be The Best”..

    When we came out he said “I’m sorry that i bought that Kurti for you but i never thought it would happen someday..”
    he cried almost for an hour sitting outside the factory & hugged me so tightly & made a Promise that “I can never Imagine tears in ur eyes at any cost..”.. i was so in shocked that i didn’t realized what happened with me that day.. but later when i realise & when i think of that situation again, Tears just rolled out of eyes.. he is just Perfect for me.. nd Yes.. it is just one story..i’ve so many Best Moments with him..& i thank God everyday for giving me such a Cute,Caring,lovable & Adorable Boyfriend. :puchhi: :puchhi: :puchhi: :puchhi: :puchhi:

    And all the wonderful ladies who shared such beautiful stories, my heart feels so warm 🙂
    Sanjeev and Rati, apart from the fact that this is such an honest blog, what draws me to check it out every morning is the feeling of bonhomie, like being part of a fun, crazy family! I am definitely going to write for you guys henceforth.

    v fall for each oter..it took 8 yrs for me to realize him as my true love..!!our parents agreed to our marriage proposal @ once..*touchwood*..n v are soon to tie knots this yr..:P

  89. Is really nice to read your story which bring back my ray of hope. I am in a relation with him for the past 4 years but things are not working out great because of his parent. My parents immediately got agreed after meeting him because He`s marine engineer and his personality is also very charming ,about the caste issue there is only one He`s from Bihar and I am from U.P. Varun`s is getting a very Hi-fi rishta and I am below average looking girl and also from middle class family.Only some people have accepted me in his family but they still wanted to have a big wedding while we can`t afford to have such big wedding because of our financial problem because of that my parents are saying no,they think they will torture me after marriage if their wishes are not fulfilled.Though after all this Yes-No situation we are still together and hoping that one day things will be fine. He had supported me a lot. He also told me he will help me financially on wedding but I know he`s having hell lot of responsibility on his head.He`s having a education loan and many more things. Rati di when you said that there was not even one day you haven`t cried same is my situation I cry every night. I am very scared to loose him.All this year there is not 1 single day that I haven`t begged in front of god but the situation is the same from the past 4years.We don`t want to go against our parents because we don`t to start our life with the curse given by our family. He`s generally out of India which is the biggest problem.We fight a lot because of the tense situation in our life but in the end we know me love each other madly. When I read such stories it brings a ray of hope in my life that may be one day the patience, the effort will pay off. Initially I was writing my whole story about how we met (which is quite different) but I deleted that because the content was very lengthy. Thank you so much for this post… God bless you Rati di & Sanjeev sir 🙂

  90. Hi Rati and sanjeevi… I just go through this post today and it took me 3 hours to read the entire stuff…. Such lovely couples n IMBB love all of u… this post is nearly 2 and half years old… Can i put my story here…

Awwwwwww You guys are super cute. *haan ji* I am so stuck to my principles of never hurting my parents, that everytime i feel like *6th sense* that a guy is getting more friendly than being a friend i take my steps back even of being a friend. *headbang* *scared* *scared* But reading all the stories, now I realize that I will never have stories to tell when i grow older if i keep being so bounded. *blush* *cry*

  93. I have loveddddd reading the entire thread of this post…..must say its hearfelt, touching and super romantic….
    I had tears at some places and great fun at some… reading all this….so many AWWWWWW moments…..
    This is what I love abt IMBB the most(apart from reviews)….bonding, friendship and love all of u….(not u, but US) share here….its like an extended family…
    M new to this family and has been secretly reading the blog…and loving it to core…
    Thanks Rati, Sanjeev and entire team for getting this platform for us…

  94. This is such an awwwwww post!! I saw that Rati had posted this link on Faux Pas, so checked it out to know how Rati and you fell in love. But I really didn’t expect a love overdose! So very cute and moving. The romantic in me is totally satisfied and happy. 🙂
    My most romantic moment is with my boyfriend of two years now. We surprisingly had a similar moment to yours Sanjeev! It was raining so heavily during a cyclone last year and when the rain stopped and the sun shined for a while, I threw tantrums that he meet me immediately at a donut house 7kms from my place. He stays 52kms away from my place, but since we hadn’t meet in four days (I meet him everyday, so four was too much..) he agreed to come over. I wore the sheerest black shirt ever. He saw me and we spend about an hour at the cafe and it started to rain. Neither of us had an umbrella and getting home seemed to be a huge thing. He told me to wait at the cafe and said he will catch an auto for the both of us. I was so glad about it, but this amazing guy took 57mins (yes.. I counted!) to return. And he returned with a bag that had Vero Moda written on it!!! He bought me a peach dress, a blue dress and a thick starched weird top for the rain lol! And he had got his friend’s car to drop me home (psst he never thought that I wouldn’t need the clothes then ;)). He dropped me home and when I told him about how I didn’t get wet, he said what if I had got wet? I was so awwwwwwwwed, floored and am so super glad that he was so thoughtful! After all, it’s the thoughts behind the actions that count 🙂

    I’m so blush blush now *secret*

  95. Its a very very old post but today I read it………..and believe me I could not resist myself from writing on this one…………

    I have been following IMBB for a long time now but silently……but must say on this I had to…my fingers started typing on its own…..

    Alright so coming to the AWWWW moment….I have plenty……but would share like one or two….

    I have been with him for 8 yrs now and we are still struggling at home to get married…but all this time we have spent together is almost like a life time…….

    The first moment came to my mind while thinking of him is when I had to travel out of Delhi with my grandmother for one whole month and definitely we were not going to meet….and he dint want me to go……but it was necessary for me to go….so finally I went and came to meet at the railway station also…..but during my stay out he just spoke to me only 3-4 times……he was more upset because during this time my birthday had to come and this was my first birthday with him but we were not together…so he dint even talk to me on my birthday…..and I use to cry everyday for 30 days….finally the day came and I came back and he said that he don’t want to meet me….but after office in the evening I came down from office and saw him standing with a bouquet of roses and I saw him ran towards him hugged him like anything and cried likeeee anything………..

    The second one is like few days back……as usual I already bankrupted him during sale shopping…so neither of us were left with much cash…..for anything more to shop….we were at zara and he liked a shirt (he looked nice when he tried)……but just while roaming he saw a pair of shoes of myself..and asked me to buy but I insisted him to buy the shirt…..I was just arguing with him and just turned to look for something else around…he already went to the counter and get the shoes billed for me……and as he always say that “I feel happier to buy stuff for u rather than buying for myself” :kisses: :hugs:……

    These are just 2 of the moments but believe me there are thousands of them…though he still gives me surprises like everyday….sometimes on call he says that he is going for a meeting but then suddenly I find him standing outside my office for lunch…..whenever he returns from my trip he says he could not bring anything for me but suddenly I find something for myself under the car seat…..so there are plenty plenty plenty of moments with him…..

    All these things does not let me go the hope and I just love him more than this world…..and I can live my whole life and coming all lives with him…..just not because he what he does….but because of what I see in his eyes for myself……..

    :heart: :heart:

  96. okie…
    i know im a lotttt late.. but after reading all these posts i just could not sop myself from sharing my experience here..

    waise toh there are tons of romantic moments, but i’ll tell u this one..
    so, i have been together with this guy for 81 months now..that is, since oct,27,2006.
    i was in 10th standard then n he’s 6 years older than me !!

    well, since i was in school, we could not meet outside..
    it was like, school to home and home to school.
    so, we just used to see each other when i went to market wid my parents or something like that.

    so, basically, what im trying to say here is that we never used to meet on my birthday.
    NEVER. coz my birthday month is exam month, MARCH !!
    so it was always BOARDS! or school exams.if not, then also i just used to stay at home although both of my parents are working.

    well,although i hv never been a daring gal wen it cums to going out to meet even frnds, i always MADE A POINT to meet him on HIS BIRTHDAY..

    so, well, 2007 bday came n went, 2008 bday came n went even 2009 bday came n went.
    but in 2010, yes, i was in college, engg 1st yr, in my hometown, we decided to meet for the FIRST TIME EVER on my b’day!

    he said we were gonna go to his home.(i had been to his home before,on his bdays, his is a joint family n they r all soo supporting)

    i made it to college, n then he came to pick me up.
    N he was, oh-so-dressed that it looked like it was his bday n not mine.
    and now, i looked under-dressed for the occasion.
    i even said this to him and he was like, ” today’s my day, my baby’s day n if i am not gonna get dressed today, then whats the use of getting dressed at all?”

    n i was like all “awwwwwwwwwwwww” ..
    felt so glad that he felt this right on me!

    well, then we reached his house.i met his parents and other family members..
    we were on the first floor while everybody else went back to their rooms on the other floors.
    so, when we were alone, i was sitting on the floor where mattresses had been put(they were shifting to the upper floor).
    he brought 3 hand-bags and asked me to pick up my fav.
    i asked him that i would be willing to take any of them whichever he chooses to gift me.
    still he insisted n chose a black leather one with a rose in front.
    he asked me if i was being hesitant or really liked it.
    i said that i loved it! n then he told me that i could have all of them if i liked everyone of them,although he had brought the handbags for me,his mother n his sister each from kolkata.

    well, its not a very big “awwwwwww” moment but still i was a bit “awwww” at this..

    neways, then he asked me to close my eyes.i hesitated at first but then did so.
    n mind u, i was sitting all the time.
    now, all of a sudden scented flower petals start falling on me and as soon as i open my eyes, i see him showering me with these beautiful scented flower petals.

    and i was filled with tears of joy because this was something that i had always dreamt of , wished of.. i always saw these kind of things in movies n would go into my dreamland, thinking about it. and infact, i had recently seen this in a daily soap, and i was all-so-much into this dreamland!

    n to have it fulfilled, n like this, without even having mentioned it to him, not even once!
    THAT WAS A REALLY AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW MOMENT FOR ME!

    hope it was worth your read!

  98. It sure is an amazing post. Although it quite old but I am tempted to write as it refreshed my own memories. 😀 .. Have been following this blog for more than an year now but writing for the first time. 😛
    Well ours is also a similar story.. We met in 2006 through orkut. He had a huge crush on a classmate and I too liked somebody. Both of us talked about our crushes and consoled each other and gradually started liking wach other which came to the forefront when I had a huge fight with him and didnt go online for a couple of days. He somehow managed to get one of my friends number .. asked her to force me go online.. i too was missing him badly.. so I did.. As soon as i went online .. he called up on the headphone .. and both of us just broke down.. He didnt say much that day but i knew i was very important for him.. *happydance* *happydance* .. finally after a 2 year long fight a brahmin girl married a jat boy in 2008 .. *pompom* ..

  99. I was in a horrible relationship wid my ex bf which had me crying every day…my best friend supported me thruout this bad relatnship…every day wen i went to sleep…i was in tears n begged to SaiBaba(I m his big bhakt) to bless me wid d best guy on dis earth..who wud luv me a lot..I knew i didnt deserve to b in such a mess..
