My Engagement with Ranima

The day is more significant not only because its my engagement day but also its my Sister's birthday. You would be wondering how come, her birthday was on the 18th. Thats my Sister, she loves to celebrate both her birthdays (one based on the English calendar and based on the star). She was looking beautiful as usual in the pink designer wear I bought her. She was thrilled to meet her "to-be Bhabhi" (elder brother's wife). She had bought a wonderful set for her bhabhi. I am sure Ranima is going to love her more than me ;).

About Ranima - She is from Trichur doing her final MSc. Maths now. I was impressed with her on one thing - her ambition is to teach. Teaching for her is not just as a profession but a passion. She is as short as my MOM and ..... wait I am bad in this. I will try posting some pics of the engagement instead.

We reached Ranima's house by 11:00 and the ceremony started in 15 - 20 mins. Did not last for more than 15 min. I had bought a diamond ring for the engagement. A flash back here - this happened on the 14th April , the New Year of Tamil nadu & Kerala (VIshu). We (Hari, my room mate & myself) went to buy a gold ring and to our surprise found that there are no ring for ladies weighing more than 3 grams of Gold, and I was told to get nothing less than 8 gms. Finally, we went to Tanishq thinking we might be able to get what we are looking for. Not to say more finally ended up getting the diamond ring. Before purchasing I called up my sis to check if I can really go ahead with this. She said Bhaiyya, thats great. Buy it & I did not think twice.

Now she says, only non-kanjoosie my brother has shown is this.....
Now back , after the ceremony it was photo session (which was boring). But still had to smile & play around so that people feel happy about the whole thing. After the photo session, my sis gave her gift and you should be seeing Ranima's face brightening up and saying WOW. She immediately wore the Ring from the set. I know now for sure both the in-laws are going to be the great pals forever....

This was followed by lunch & we are back to Coimbatore. And night I am travelling back to Bangalore...
