Subject: Moving On....Seriously !!!
 
Hello Friends,

Yes, I know what you would be feeling after reading the subject. But trust me, it is not an easy mail  to write especially after such beautiful long innings. I still remember and remember really well,  those days of flirting, dating, roaming on bike like Knight Rider, having coffee only at  café coffee day thinking ( a lot can happen over coffee). Yes a lot did happen but in the form of bills..:-D :-D. 

Things which you would not have done before like requesting a friend in the middle of night to lend his bike, requesting another friend to arrange a pick-up because you were stuck in client /pursuit call, getting angry because you got drenched in rain and your friend has decided not to turn up because of the same stupid rain, getting late for movie because someone deleted the text message of confirmation, being scolded for talking to every friend whosoever called you up (doesn’t matter what time) thus reducing the time with someone else, giving shoulder for reasons which you can’t comprehend, absolutely banned from talking about health/calorie and fitness while others are having pizza with coke, or pop-corns with coke, learning car because someone felt pollution on the road ..:-O, first getting glass of car tainted to prevent peeping in and then removing the same to allow government to peep in..:-), arrange party in all flashy hotels while ensuring the DJ plays Bollywood not Hollywood because Hollywood doesn’t give kicks..:-D, save friends with manageable kannada while they mess up with locals and about to get beaten up, partying anytime without caring whether it’s a weekend or weekday and tell neighbors to adjust ..:-O,  drive to nandi hills in the middle of night to catch glimpse of rising sun and then sleep on grass like drunkards, those hangout times with Goris abroad and that workout sessions with my Gori trainer,  go for adrenaline sports with friends who are scared of every damn adventure and then coax them into actually taking that plunge, click their scary faces and post them on personal pages with comments, those enormous personal one-to-one moments in office canteens/in malls / on road sides/ on terrace of tall buildings and listening to those emotional/touchy confessions and obviously making few ones too..:-), drive to krishnagiri (tamil nadu – 180 km) for McD and CCD - first climb and then literally hang from the McD billboard while shouting and screaming with friends, and life kept moving on …:D

In this journey of bachelor-hood, met not few rather bundle of nice friends, some good friends, some die-hard fans, some loving ones and some run-of-the mill types. Learnt time management, emotional balance, multi-tasking and the big one “work-love-friends-life-money-balance”…J. And after all this, trust me, GDM model seemed too easy to seep in. I know most of you would echo these statements..:-)

And then one day, time for that thing came which I have been running away from all these years. However, when you meet that someone, someone extra special ( note the word extra here) , who tells you that life has still to offer more, just that it has to be with her, you tend to think otherwise. The reality of life is whatever your brain may try to tell you, you always tend to agree to her and her only..:-D :-D :-D. And you become “Yes Mam Man” ..:-D

So, time has come to still continue doing above things, but with permissions,
agreements and making some adjustments with friends and letting them know that I would not be available in those hours in night..;-) rather during day time only. So please plan your issues, situations, breakdowns/ups strictly during day time and remain in good books of that special person..:-). Trust me, she is marked in this email and must be laughing now, reading this. ( hope you know what does it mean when that special, sorry, extra special person laughs….if not ask me in person..:-)

And with this laughter, fun and  great pleasure, I would like to invite you for my marriage with Twitter Kaur on 21st August in Delhi. The details have been attached and it would be great to see you on that auspicious day to bless the couple.

To The Marriage
Jagmeet
