I’ve been in Sydney this this past week, and while I was over the other side of Australia, Harman though it would be a great idea for me to meet his Didi for the first time ever. :)     After a mammoth effort on the part of Harman, his Didi and her husband, Harman Veerji, who drove more than 10hrs overnight just to come and see us, we all managed to meet up at Darling Harbour at 5pm in the afternoon.

Before the meeting went ahead I was feeling quite nervous – what will it be like meeting Didi? I hope she likes me, I hope I like her! will it be terribly awkward? or will it go ok?  As soon as I saw Harman all those thoughts melted away, Didi introduced herself and I introduced my sisters to her and Harman Veerji and we all ran into Starbucks to escape from the pouring rain. I loved Didi from the moment I saw her, she was so lovely and sweet. As we chatted we found out that we had many things in common: we both feel extremely cold, even in summer, we both think Americans are very loud :) , we love adding extra spice to our food, we think sarees are beautiful, we think Harman is a baby ;) (just kidding :D ), we both looooove Shahrukh :)    and so it went on.  Harman Veerji was equally as nice, and did such a lovely job making everyone feel at home and comfortable.   After Starbucks, we walked through Sydney to go to an Indian Restaurant for Dinner – and surprise, it was the very same restaurant the me, Clare and Celine love that is in Sydney!! after much debate about dinner, we decided on palak paneer, chicken tikka masala, chicken jalfrazi, dal makhani, aloo paratha and rotis..  we had soooo much food that we could barely make a dent in it!  Harman Veerji insisted that we eat some sweets, so we had some gulab jamuns and rasgoola.

Harman walked us back to our hotel, and then we sat together chatting for about 20mins waiting for Didi and Harman Veerji to come by to pick him up. We were both overjoyed that the first meeting with his family had gone so well.  It’s amazing, just one year ago anything like this seemed so distant and far to us. Finally our dreams are starting to come true. :) :) :) :)

Well can you believe it? Harman and I are going to meet very soon! in around 25 days! (we’ll know the exact day once he has his flight date and time confirmed).  He is coming to Perth to study, which means we’ll soon be only 2.5 hours away from each other.

To pass the time until we meet, and to remind us of all the lovely things that we’ve been unable to do together so far, we’re both going to add to this ‘dreams’ list until the day we meet.

1)  Mary:  We can read the ‘Our Love Story’ card together, which Harman gifted me on my birthday.

2)  Harman:  We’ll buy ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ and watch it together.

3) Harman:  I can show you all the scrapbook entries that i got at my farewell.

4)  Harman:  I can show you all the birthday cards/gifts that i got from my friends.

5)  Mary:  We can walk along the beach together.
    
6) Mary:   I can talk with you for a few hours without stopping, and we don’t have blackouts, internet connection troubles, or different time zones so we have to wake up early/stay up late to chat. And we’ll be talking face-to-face.  
    
7) Mary:   Sit together holding hands. :)
8 ) Harman:  I can tell you about some of my special friends.

9) Mary:   I can make you eat Australian foods like Vegemite, Pavlova, Lamingtons, and Kangaroo!

10) Harman:  We can watch the Hollywood movies ‘50 First dates‘ and ‘Enchanted‘ together.

11) Harman: We can listen to the songs ‘Wo pehli baar‘ and ‘Suno na‘ while taking a stroll on the Bunbury beach.

12) Mary:  Play beach cricket and ‘flags’ on the sand at Koombana Bay.

13) Mary:  Take a train or bus journey together.
 
14) Mary: Watch the fireworks together one Australia Day (January 26th), while sitting on the beach.
 
 15) Harman: I would love to hug you when we meet the first time at the St George’s entrance.
 
16) Mary: Ride around Rottnest Island together.
    
17) Mary: Watch the movie ‘Prince of Egypt’ together.

18) Harman: I would love to listen to (and if possible to sing for you) the following songs with you:

A wonderful dream May 27, 2008

Wow, what a wonderful dream I had……

Mary usually has a lot of dreams with me in them, but I rarely have them. The few that I have, I forget soon as my memory is really short term. But this one was too sweet to be forgotten……

Whats it about? But ofcourse our first meeting. Now we have imagined our first meeting to be at an Airport where either she will come to pick me up or I will. So it was strange when iI dreamt of meeting Mary in a market and that too with my mummy and sister. Here it goes….

I’m walking with my cousin Jagman, and asking him about Mary. How she is, where she is, who she is with? I’m so excited. Then I reach the market and am on the first floor (one of those mettalic pedestrian walk overs). I look down to see her and catch a glimpse of her. There she is, wearing a Blue t-shirt and a skirt and standing next to mummy and didi. Wow, she looks so beautiful…I start climbing donw the metalic spiral stairs.

When I reach downstairs, I have to meet everyone. Surprisingly I go to meet mummy and Didi first (save the best for the last maybe). And then the time finally comes. I look at Mary, she’s so beautiful. She’s got awe struck eyes and a half open mouth. I shake hands with her, but dont get a response from her hands. She’s too busy looking at me.  I open up my arms to hug her, but she isnt done looking at me yet. Upon seeing my arms stretched, she moves back half confused and half ashamed to hug me in front of my family. But all this while she is looking at my face with admiring eyes. For a moment, I cant understand why she doesnt want to hug me. My stupid mind thinks of reasons. Is it my untied shoes? Am I smelling bad? But then I notice the love in her eyes. I notice how she is enjoying looking at me. I see the confusion in her eyes. She doesnt know what to do? Look at me and keep looking at me? Or come and hug me? No my parents are there, what would they think? She’s confused and I finally understand her confusion. I give her a smile, and move towards her. She is still awe-struck but relaxes on seeing me smile. And then i just give her a small friendly hug. I know from her warm hug that she loves the hug…..

….and thats all i remember about my dream. This has to be one of the most amazing dreams I’ve ever had….

 

Here’s a song i would love to play on our first meeting: Wo pehli baar
