Poem
After years of grad school, I decided to get married, My parents found a beautiful girl a few years younger than me, After the arranged wedding, our love life began, She came to USA from India when she was cute young girl. Getting adapted to the new environment was tough, Everything was new, and different, she was lost, English was as new to her as the new surroundings, I advised her to watch soap during the day to learn English fast. To my surprise, within six months, she could communicate in English, We will go out in the weekends, enjoy the great outdoors in States, Take pictures in slides and prints, to take it to India when she visits, Still, she found lonely as she did not find many friends to keep her happy. I tried to get her in yard work and backyard gardening, She would happily help when I was around, Still, she found this boring, the produce was cheaper at stores nearby, The next excitement I thought would be shopping to keep her happy. She would go to malls. spend hours looking for outfits I made sure I appreciated what she chose, An appreciation she loved more than making Taj Mahal for her, Sometimes she will spend more than the set limits, She will say, don’t worry I will pay when the bill comes, When the bill came, she would say, You pay; you control all the money. Life was evolving, she found many friends, She loved two baby girls and a boy, we were blessed with, It was an enchanting era to watch the kids grow, Their birthday parties were full of excitement, I still remember. In the early days before videos came, we would go to the theaters, I must remind her at least a day in advance to get ready for the show. If we must go to a wedding or anniversary, A week's reminder was barely enough to get her ready. In the old days, when GPS was not around, Going to new places used to be adventure many times, She will be the navigator with road maps, Hardly knew how to read it properly. Still, life kept on moving, She came late and left early to heavenly abodes, The fun moments we had, Still lingers in my mind.
