This picture above speaks volumes of love, youthfulness, and the quiet pride of a young couple beginning their journey together.
That morning remains vivid in my memory. I had just finished a wholesome breakfast, two chapatis, a simple vegetarian sabzi, and a cup of hot milk. Nourished and ready, I was preparing to leave for my office routine. But before stepping out, I felt a deep sense of gratitude. I called my darling Dari to the living room, not just to thank her for the delicious meal and the care with which she had even packed my office lunch, but also to capture that moment in time.
There was some thing special about that day. The newly styled Levi’s jeans and the light-textured shirt I wore were both thoughtful gifts from my in-laws, who were now settled in the USA. Interestingly, the design on the shirt seemed to mirror my Professional world, resembling the transmission lines and networks stretching across the countryside, much like the work I was engaged in while serving Power Systems Planning at the Central Electricity Authority, New Delhi.
Behind me, on the wall, was another sketch, of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, which I had drawn myself while entering this new portion of our house in 1970. It held deep spiritual meaning for me and symbolized the guiding force in our lives.
That picture, therefore, is not just about a young couple, it is about dreams, hard work, responsibility, and love. It captures a moment where personal life, professional identity, and spiritual grounding stood together, quietly shaping the journey ahead.
