An adorable pair, a cocktail of two warm hearts,
each besotted with love and respect for the other.
Their open hearts seat everyone they know
friends galore be it in Dukhan, Doha or Mumbai.
His free spirited will, organising enthusiasm
and impulsive streaks are but a few of his charms.
Sandy explorations to midnight drives,
hot teas in watery seas to fourteen shots in tow
he, a perfect example to relish life's each moment.
Flowers and leaves, seas and birds, sun and the moon,
her true besties, all aches and pains dissolved.
Her generous smile, her innocent nature
a trait winning hearts all around.
Her fish curry, her plum cake, each bring a cheer on his face
Dishes alien on her menu before now her expertise
Taste of Shrikhand specially, a sweet reminder of the month of March.
His searching eyes be it in a crowd or a group
constantly caring for her every subtle need.
His unending helping gestures making
her journey a smooth sail.
Arul Mama, Vaishali Mami, a duo adored by
their nieces and nephews everywhere.
We all can never have enough of you,
you both only grow better and better
just as wine in an oak barrel.
Twenty-five years flew by, twelve before my eyes
many more twenty-fives to follow, this enchanting bond
of a couple whose partnership melted religions, languages
and our hearts away.
