Love is all that you need....


All the love that can be found in this world is less than what I feel for you…..


This post is the beginning of a celebration, the celebration called “our life.” People who know me would be really surprised to read this one….well, I don’t know…guys…ya ya tum log; my dearest log in Novintel…please let me know your wonderful reactions after you know that I am finally in Love….


Well, temme all of you, did you ever think that I might be in love? I am sure you must have, but none of you really asked about it….maybe it was never evident …or maybe it was…whatever it is…I am happy to share with you all that I am very much in love, and it has been May 2008 since Love happened to me! Yes, a year and a half and I am telling you all now! My God! I myself can’t believe that I didn’t reveal it for so long!


It happened when I didn’t want life to happen anymore….


It happened when I wanted to only work, work, and work myself to death l…oh no, no offence to my work, but I was in a personal crisis then, and working like crazy was the only option to forget everything else. And that’s exactly what I did….


Okay okay! I know you all are not a bit interested in knowing how miserable my life was before I met him…or rather, he made me meet myself again, after years of loneliness and solitude…..I owe my life and every moment of my happiness to you, Shiv.


So people…Shiv it is….haan haan apna Shiv… Oh my God! Arre arre shaant hojaao baba…sab bataati hoon….aur details jaan ne ke liye toh U can directly ask him…Because he was the one who confessed it to me……Oh I really love him for doing that….


Miracles do happen guys….He is my miracle!


Shiv wud definitely tell you his part of the story…please feel free to harass him…aeeeeeee lekin logon kaam ki MBA mat karna…uski bhi aur apni bhi…nahi toh High Command warning letter dedega!


So now that you know…I m sure you are eager to know the “five Ws and one H” of our love story…so here we go….


All you SAs, if you remember the time in late 2007 when a fateful meeting converted you from simple mortal beings to mechanical resource utilizing “Senior Analysts,” that was the day when I and Shiv really started talking…and yes…our agenda was to teach Parveen “Hindi”…oh God! It was a hilarious experience! Well…hold on…we didn’t fall in love right there…I only realized that Shiv also knew how to talk. And then over a period of time I, Yogita, Shweta, and Shiv, became really good friends…NOPE…abhi bhi we hadn’t realized that we love each other…arre tabhi “love-vove” kuch tha nai re baba…


Sujata, do u remember our picnic at the beach in February 2008? Yes, the one where you began strolling alone on the shore and ended getting drenched in madness with Alka, Omkar and Shankar in the seawater? And Puja, aapko yaad hai woh shaitaan sa doggie “Caspious,” at the beach when we were sitting on the shore? And Shweta, do you remember your enlightening conversation with me, Andy and Shiv; that made us realize that “you rock baby!”? Well, it was a great picnic, wasn’t it? So according to Shiv, he realized over here that I was more than a friend for him…okay okay…..let me tell you…I still did have any idea about all this…


Picnic over and we back to work…life was so good on that floor na? all of us used to sit together and enjoy beating deadlines …(guys, please bring that enthusiasm back to your work) I enjoyed racing against time to deliver “8015” on time…haan yaar Shalini…kya pagalon ki tarah abstracts karte the main aur yogita…30 mins mein 8 abstracts! Raam Raam Raam ! And you used to input 30 “303” abstracts in one hour….Shit! But it was fun! At this point of time, I and Shiv became good friends…


It was a pleasure to see him and Andy coming and greeting everyone on the floor in the afternoon before their log-in. Life happened to me there…we began to chat during weekends and know each other…lekin abhi bhi mujhe usse pyaar nahi hua tha baba….to be honest….I had given up the hope of Love coming to me. Love seemed like a far- fetched idea…Hey Jaya…U know why I am saying it…Thanks yaar, you and Shankar have been a great support…Shankar Iyer! U knew that Shiv is in love with me even before I knew it! Guys can you imagine? And he never even made it evident…not even to me…kamal ka ladka hai re tu Shankar…..but waow…I am happy I have known you as a friend!


So finally, in April 2008, one weekend, when I was chatting with Shiv, he confessed that he is in love…and the girl is “me”….believe me, I was crying and laughing together in front of my PC, not knowing what to do…of course I said NO…How could an older girl and a younger Guy combination be acceptable? I was scared to death to even think how my parents would react to this….and I flatly denied!


But you did not take offence, Shiv….nor did you force me to think over it. You just ensured that you would always be a good friend and never again ask me the question again….and life was the same….we worked together and you tried to be normal. But Shankar told me you went into this “passive mode” in your PM shift, where you would silently finish work and leave…but surprisingly, your hurt and pain was never shown to me when we used to talk after your log out….


Guys, he spent long time standing out of his home just to talk to me…he has spent time outside Koper Khairne station so that I could share my day with him over the phone…so sweet na? He never seemed to be tired or bored. Did you ever imagine that Shiv could actually do all this? And yes, all this was after I had said “No” to his proposal…but I still felt good when he called me…I asked him why does he waste time when I have refused? He said “Somehow talking to you makes my day complete.”


If it was not you, my angel, I would have sinned further and made Shiv wait for eternity. I love you for that, Yogi….and God is always going to give you your best! Trust me…..


So on May 5 2008, I left the office requesting Shiv to call me up after he logs out…. And then when he called….i asked him if he would give me another chance…would he accept me despite me having refused once? I could feel him smile even though we were on the fone…..and our Love story began......


Shiv has been the best thing that ever happened to me….


We have been together since then, and I love my life with him….We complete each other…he is the only one in this world who can handle me…oh yes, I m a hopeless piece of existence…only he makes my life worth living. 


I know it was a long story cut short. Questions? Doubts? Please shoot! We are glad to share our happiness.


So Jaya, now you know who the person is…and yes, it is not Shiv who is lucky, I am the lucky one.


And Swati, Benji, Shikha, now you know the name of Shiv’s girlfriend! Finally…and Ben, I don’t care if they all make fun of me man! Seriously! And Omkar, you will have to search for someone else for your bhau raya… a much better person…all the best to him! And Ganesh…now you know where all my weekends were booked. So, Sujata and Alka…I am happy that you used to ask Shweta if I was seeing someone…it showed that you cared. And now finally you know who the person is!


I wish I could see your reactions personally…it would be amazing! The WAaaaaaows and the Howwwws? Of my team…oh I really miss telling you all face-to-face. 


Thank you guys, for your time! Love you all!
