Mid 2012 seems to be
the most momentous period in my life. Nothing significant is taking place on
the academic side but most compensatory variation in Hickshian sense is taking
place on the domestic side. Of course this is the usual routine thing that a
responsible father needs to do at a right time. Kindly believe me, this routine inevitable
event which will delink my treasure has made me more happy than ever before .
It is not that I have not had many joyous moments to share and remember and of course savor all through my career.
What is that I am referring to ? Some of my student friends and of course Sakthi’s friends are
already aware of the event scheduled to
take place around mid June. Yes! my youngest daughter, my treasure , my love ,
my friend , my savior and ambassador sent from heavens like a gentle breeze
has been engaed now and the marriage ceremony is scheduled to take place on 14th
June at Subba Lakshmi Hall, situated on the main Mahatma Gandhi Road at
Muthyalpet. Thre reception is on the evening of 13 th June at the same venue.
The question of finding
out a right life partner – be it a
spontaneous love and chemistry leading to marriage or an arranged
marriage, eventually blossoming into an all time full fledged love affair is as
difficult as finding out the right equilibrium real exchange rate for an open
economy like India .
Milton Friedman was asked once “ What is the right
equilibrium exchange rate between U.S
Dollar and Japanese Yen?”He merely replied with tremendous honesty, “I don’t
Know!” Suppose you ask me, “which is the happiest moment in your life?”,in the
same vein I can reply honestly , with a little bit dramatization as follows. “My
academic distinctions at both under graduate and post graduate level
intimidated me more than making happy. The prolonged journey towards my Ph.D
destination under the benevolent goading of an young scholar from Hyderabad
Central University, of course gave me peace which I deserved, given my chaotic
life. Showering of financial fortune by Bank of Mathura and late entry into
university after quarter century of service, stumbling upon Head ship and the
much coveted Deanship towards the fag end of my career- all gave some semblance
of joy and stability but the defining, happiest moment in my life came when the
young ones were allowed to meet in the first floor in a non- A.C room in the
hot summer month interact and to know each other. Subsequently when the green
signal was given by both and family members on either side who had already expressed
their consent. In a typical Sangham
literature Kurundhogai poem,every
things evolved and the result was ,I spent a sleepless night with joy and
happiness which I deserve to enjoy and I was
fresh the next day morning.
Shall I pray to the
supreme sleeping in heavens, with confidence and conviction that I have an
optimistic heightened expectation that Sakthi’s marriage will provide more
sakthi (power) and more stability to the families on both sides. Let God give
them the wisdom to measure their steps and be in perpetual friendship and love
while wading through the marital waters
