Balu and Aki are two
strong thinking people, but from different angles (read as OPPOSITE ANGLES).
In everything you take- they stand fierce and strong in the right OPPOSITE
direction to each other. We finally AGREED to DISAGREE on
everything and stay happily together.
As we approach 2020,
we would like to reflect to the time we got married and since then the things
that have changed in our life- the good, bad and the way we are growing
stronger and smarter. The OPPOSITES that we have AGREED upon to DISAGREE!
Yes, there you have
it- Agreed to disagree. This is now in no particular order.
He is the PICKY
EATER, while I eat ALMOST EVERYTHING WITHOUT COMPLIANT. And then he
is a COFFEE PERSON, while I can’t just stand the smell of the COFFEE
BEANS. He loves SPICY FOOD, while I would be hissing like a snake- MILDLY
SPICY please. He is a MORNING PERSON and me a NIGHT PERSON.
Oh no! And he is a VERY RELIGIOUS GUY while I am not so much- NON-RELIGIOUS.
Okay, lets
step out: Grocery store maybe, He is like WHITE BREAD and I am like WHEAT
BREAD man. And then he goes can we do the UNSCENTED DISH-WASHING LIQUID
and I am like I love the citrus fruit flavors- SCENTED is the way to go.
Okay chuck it, let’s go to out to eat, He is like INDIAN, oh man, that’s
what we eat daily at home, I am like let’s try INTERNATIONAL. And then
he is like ok, THAI /CHINESE? Hmm, well, not the same restaurants again,
come on let’s explore new ones- Maybe ETHIOPIAN or ITALIAN? So, what
happens finally- ASIAN and MILDLY SPICY it is!! HA! OK lets go to the movies, Balu
picks this POLITICAL, HISTORICAL OR TERRORISM kind of movies, while I am like even popcorn wont suffice to sit in there for that long. FACE-PALM SITUATIONS! I
definitely need a ROMANTIC OR THRILLER kind of story.
A plan gets
cancelled. I just HATE that. But he can easily make and cancel plans, while I
just HATE FALSE PROMISES. Nowadays every plan made comes with a
disclaimer- SUBJECT TO CHANGE- NO GUARANTEE!!!
Weekends- What
would you do? Aki loves to step out with a great plan, while Balu is a HOMEBODY.
While at a VACATION CABIN, what would you do? HIKING or just chill in the cabin. You should
be knowing by now who does what. I do more PLANNED VACATIONS whereas he’s
does the LAID-BACK SPONTANEOUS VACATIONS- it sounds like a lot of waste
of time for me. HAHA! Oh, and when we have a flight to catch, I guess this one
is at everyone’s home. You can find me PACKING AHEAD -3 weeks ahead. With
a revision packing and fully planned. And there’s Balu PACKING LAST MINUTE-
just 2 hours before flight even its an international one.
He calls his PARENTS
EVERYDAY and I am here- they call me once in a couple of weeks- we don’t
have track! And he meets his parents more frequently than me, even though we
are distance wise closer! LOL! I am QUIET when friends around (LOUD
on chat though) while he’s the opposite. And the social media- me more active
and he’s just scrolling and stalking folks. OOPS! I speak more TAMIL and
He does more TELUGU! Ofcourse we know both! I am always listening to the
latest Tamil cine song and while he is humming an old Telugu or Tamil
song. Oh, that reminds me- he sings well. I haven’t heard myself
sing! No way! You would always find me lowering the volume of the music. Yes,
he does TOO LOUD MUSIC, me MILD! But this reminds me of something
else that’s strange- I am a social party animal and he hates the scenario!
He like RAW
ONIONS! No way here! His love for Hyderabadi Biriyani is VERA LEVEL!
I initially didn’t like the dryness of it! But now developed a taste for it! I
love it too now!
I am a BLOGGER and He is a
VLOGGER! I love taking PICTURES and he is more into taking VIDEOS!
Oh GOD! Not any bit common! I guess we just refuse to match in anything!
He has ROUTINES
and I have UNPREDICTABLE NON-ROUTINE days. Guess that’s what you are
when you are too creative! LOL! Yup I am the more Imaginative, creative, fun
person while he is the hardworking, sincere and focused guy! I am ADVENTUROUS and He is CAUTIOUS!
PARENTING –
NO SAFETY AROUND HOME VS OVER-PROTECTIVE! I am the former and he is the latter!
I am cold-hearted, Practical and he is Sensitive and Emotional Kind of!
Has a HATE-LIST!
Nope not me!
I follow the ZODIAC
SIGNS while He believes in INDIAN ASTROLOGY and VAASTU!
I am PUNCTUAL
and he follows the INDIAN STANDARD TIME! LOL!
So, what’s in common? A few things here and
there!
- Both like to Cook, but our cooking styles are different!
- We do Movie nights- Thrillers mostly!
- Both like Chennai- For him its family time and trying out all restaurants, and for me it’s catching up with relatives and my beloved cousins!
- We both love Driving!
- Love to host friends at home!!
- Hate Holi
- Dislike ghost movies! OK TIME TO CHANGE- NOT THE RIGHT MOVIE! But I guess I am not that scared as compared to him! OOPS!
Happy 6th Anniversary to us on the 6th of
February 2020!
Mr. Broke and Mrs. Spoiled
