Love is a lot of things

Love is a lot of things
Love is knowing exactly how she likes that alu sabji
Love is knowing exactly how he likes the chicken curry
Love is knowing that panch phoron is her spice of choice
Love is knowing that jeera is his indulgent sprinkle
Love is knowing that she cries to express multiple emotions
Love is knowing that silence is his solace when the mind is in a whirlwind
Love is knowing that dark chocolates can just solve all her problems momentarily
Love is knowing that cooking and cleaning are his problem solvers
Love is knowing that when she talks nineteen to a dozen, she is fine
Love is knowing that when he is at his sarcastic best, he is fine
Love is knowing that she smells the pages of every book she reads
Love is knowing that when he plays a video game, the thrill he heeds
Love is knowing that she will always be a die hard romantic
Love is knowing that he will be the pragmatic one, scoffing at the overtures
Love is knowing that she will make those little notes
Love is knowing that he will send her the cutest gifs
Love is knowing that she mastered the art of making imperfect chocolate dipped strawberries
Love is knowing that he can just conjure a perfect coffee on even an imperfect day

Love is a lot of things
Love is seeing that 'our precious' loves her sweets and devours books just like her
Love is seeing that 'our precious' loves her treks and presents arguments just like him

Love is a lot of things
Love is writing a mushy poem on a day that celebrates love
Love is taking a pic of the moment, even though we all look exhausted
Love is making sense of random love filled moments
But the fact is love needs no reason and no day

Love is a lot of things
Love is for everyday!

"Happy New Year 2020", the Pramadh way

This pic quite sums up 2019 at the Pramadh household. A year filled with gushes of uncertain winds, challenges- big and small that came our way. Moments of perseverance that kept us grounded. This little human being made us believe even more strongly that there is happiness in every little thing- collecting stones, twigs and dispersing seeds alike. We all pushed our boundaries, learnt in leaps and bounds. We discovered new things- the joys of reading for the first time, finding the superhero in us, making a new dish, finding a new way of life. Daily conversations about how our days went with Ira asking us existential questions and then times of crazy, mad laughter. Little holidays, big joys. Grateful for all the precious moments with family and friends- celebrating milestones, random chatters and memories of the years gone by.
As we stood on this hill top after a trek year end, the experience was as exhilarating as the year gone by. The smiles say it all, one step at a time.

Happy New Year 2020 everyone!
