Well, today I am going to share a unique experience. I know, everyone is not as lucky as I am. Everyone has not tested the flavor that I have. I must share my experience with my friends. Those who find themselves in the same shoe that I have will definitely evoke and their reminiscence will give them a delight.

This is a story of two cushy persons, who started their journey together on 7^th July, 1965. They tied knot in presence of parents, friends, relatives and the God they believed. They started through the strange road ahead. They started holding their hands together.

It is 7^th July, 2008 ' the two simple persons, who are walking together for the past 43 years are still on their way. This couple has traveled silently without any brawl. We, the three sons joined them to their journey. My elder brother came to join them in 1966, me in 1968 and my younger sibling in 1970. I have completed 40 years of association with this couple. I have never experienced a wrangle between them.

The journey was not so easy for them. The struggle they had in their early days was dreadful. They passed many nights on empty stomach. But they fed us. They tried to give us the best possible living. The education, the roof, the cloths and everything we needed. Nevertheless they hardly received anything from us.

It was me, a born lover boy, showing no gratitude to the sacrifices they did for bringing up me, fell in love. One, two, three . and so on . I settled with my sixteenth love. I got married at the age of twenty five despite being the second child I married earlier. I married to my choice (living happily). She is a girl from other caste. This act of mine has given them the first blow. I came out, chosen my own way and started my journey. I have my relations still with them, but the path was again without me for them since 1993. The second blow came in 1997, when my elder brother left them on the path with his wife (married in 1996). They are staying in the same building (on the top floor). They share their world but without providing any shore up to the old couple. My younger, he is still unmarried and traveling with them.

In spite of the odd, the couple ever charming with full of life still living together. I am so lucky because, there are very few who knows the value of relationship. I wonder and wish if I can travel this many years with my wife. My journey of merely fifteen years has seen so many fights. There is clash in every moment between us. Sometimes it becomes unbearable. But the moment I close my eyes and start thinking of the couple, who brought me to this beautiful world, I get eccentric feelings. I start dreaming to be there. I try to know the chemistry behind this. I start searching the hidden verities of love that has made them travel this far.

Wish, their love will glow forever, wishing them for a milestone - "Golden Jubilee" of their Marriage Anniversary.
