Tamil movies have taught me what to expect when the guy goes to visit the girl and her family for the first time. It will be - men, chaos, laughter, women in silk saris, noise and lots of food. I thought I will consider myself lucky if I get at least a glimpse of the girl while the entire crowd gapes at me.
What actually happened was -
I got down at this house. It looked peaceful. I knocked at the door and the girl's dad - my mamanar - greeted me. When I stepped inside, I was shocked. There was no one. Absolutely no one. While I was trying to come out of the shock, he asked me to be seated and went inside. He came back with a glass of juice. Mamanar bringing juice - never did a tamil movie have this scene. I realized that I was on my own and the knowledge gained from the Tamil movies was not going to help me. When I was staring inside the glass, wondering what to do next, I heard someone say hi. I looked up to see the girl. I expected the girl to be covered in a sari, wearing every piece of jewelery she had. But there she was standing... In a purple salwar. She was wearing an almost invisible chain with a pendant like a rain drop. Her dad suggested that the two of us, myself and Madhu, go out for lunch. It can't get better than this. :-) Tamil cinema need to learn. During that lunch, I realized how true my mom was when she told me that she had found the 'right girl'.
Everything about Madhu is simple and beautiful. No fireworks. No tingling bells. No glowing bulbs. I fell in love with her gradually and stayed that way for years now. Whoever told that people cannot find love when its arranged marriage... I would like to punch him hard and tell, "Speak for yourself, Idiot".
