Geek Marriage
"While I had no pre-conceived notions about who I’d marry, Abhishek was not someone I thought I’d end up with. We were friends before we started dating each other. He was reserved, while I was carefree and loved to hang out with my friends. But there were little things about him that caught my attention. For example, whenever he’d hang out in my apartment (that I shared with my roommates), he’d help me out in the kitchen. But he never paid me exclusive attention, he offered to help my roommates too when they were alone. That made me realise how sensitive he was; he just needed time to open up. Also, the many wonderful conversations we had in the kitchen revealed how intelligent he was."“Of course, it was only when we started living together in 2006 that we realised how little we had in common. He was a night owl and I was a morning bird. He watched science fiction, while I preferred sitcoms. He did the accounts for the house in a jiffy, while I struggled with the bills for hours. It didn’t help that we belong to different communities — I am an Assamese, he is from UP. Often, there were days when he just wouldn’t want to join me and my friends on an outing. Later, I realised he wanted me to do whatever I enjoyed doing without feeling obliged to keep him company." “Of course, there are things we can’t stand about each other. He hates the way I type — I am slow — while he types at the speed of light. I take my own time with my meal; he polishes it off quickly, and ends up waiting for me to finish." “For me, the best part about being with this wonderful man is that I get to learn a lot. He is a voracious reader, and is always willing to share and simplify things about technology and science that I wouldn’t have known otherwise. He’s like a breath of fresh air—still, yet free.”
