The
Sunday started very normally. Take your
own time in bed, get under the quilt as
much as possible as London weather was
absolutely great to induce sleep. My day
started when my daughter woke me up saying
Krishna - please get up lets play puzzles.
I am Krishna - a brahmin and my wife Jeena
is a Malayalee Christian. Jeena accepted
my love and we both decided to get together
for life on 3rd March 1998 when I was
doing my B.com 1st year and Jeena in her
2nd year Botany. I had ambition to become
a Chartered Accountant. Like how Silambarasan's
aim to become a film director would be
realized, is the same feeling for anyone
aspiring to become CA but for some it
takes only 3 years to complete and for
some 10 years.
On 28th Feb, I asked Jeena what you want
for 3rd March. Jeena replied can we watch
VTV as it has great music, Gautham’s
direction and her favorite Silambarasan
doing the lead role. So I then got into
internet to see where VTV is playing in
London. Found that its playing in Wandsworth
which is 10 miles from where I live but
that's not a problem...Issue was driving
through Central London on a Sunday afternoon
which can make your day horrendous. But
its Jeena's wish and I decided come what
may, we go to Wandsworth to watch the
movie. All the early morning Sunday sluggishness
vanished and suddenly I got active and
got my daughter (3 yrs old) to have shower,

cooked quick lunch and dressed up for VTV. We reached
Wandsworth, luckily got away with traffic at 4pm for
6pm movie. Reached the ticket counter straight away
to buy the ticket only to know that it is HOUSEFULL
and no tickets available. This is our FIRST HOUSEFULL
EXPERIENCE in the UK. Jeena was fed up as we did a
lot of things from the morning for this evening show.
I desperately wanted to fulfill her desire - What
more happiness can I get than satisfying my wife's
wish? I searched in my mobile and found VTV is playing
at the same time in Feltham which is 45 minutes drive
from Wandsworth and so decided to rush to Feltham.
Reached in good time but a long queue was waiting
to buy tickets. We were sold the LAST 3 TICKETS. At
last with a sigh of relief we entered the hall.
As the movie unfolded, I was unable to see Silambarasan
as Karthik but as Krishna and Trisha not as Jessie
but as Jeena. Incidentally K for Krishna & Karthik
and J for Jeena and Jessie added up to my emotions.
Every scene was replicating our life. I told Jeena
my love the same way as Karthik does. My offer of
love to Jeena happened at the spur-of-the-moment.
It was unplanned and unexpected even for me. Jeena
like Jessie was taken aback about my sudden conveying
of love.
Jeena like Jessie told that our love will
be unpractical as both families won't accept it. I
chased Jeena like how Karthik does to Jessie. Jeena
told me the same thing as Jessie says to Karthik Our
love should be everlasting....our love should give
us comfortableness....I am tired about meeting you
in private with so much scare in my heart that what
would happen if any body informs my family....I desperately
want the time when we can meet each other, go around
together without any apprehensions and tensions in
my mind and without any need to be afraid of others
seeing us. It was nostalgic for me as those words
are not easy for any guy to digest as it poses a great
responsibility for him to satisfy her intense wish.
Jessie's questions to Karthik was the same that Jeena
asked me and my reply was the same as Karthik told
- Love first - problems next and I always maintained
a punch dialogue with her - vidu parthukkalam or onnum
illa...
I got introduced to her family as a friend like how
Karthik gets introduced. Jeena too has a big family
with 7 cousins in her kitty. I was told the same thing
like what Ganesh will say to Karthik if we get caught
we won't be beaten up my one or two guys but by a
whole town. But we continued to be strong in our love
and bonding. We decided that we should bring respect
to love and should not be stamped as failures and
our careers were spoiled because of our love. We both
were very careful in that and I went on to get Silver
Medal in my B.com and went on to complete CA in 4
years time and with God's grace blessed with a daughter.
Jeena completed her B.Ed and was working as teacher.
After a point of time, both my relatives and her relatives
came to know about our love. But very very few questioned
us and the rest started to support us. The reason
for this, when we analyzed, is that we were sincere
both in Love and in Career. We didn't sacrifice one
for the other. We went through very troubled times.
But we withstood and maintained our balance in showing
sincerity between Love and Career which has won many
hearts.
We were patient and stayed so till we got married
in 2005. 7 years in love made us both very understanding
to each other and taught us what patience and perseverance
can achieve. It is most important to make sure our
Love earns respect of others and to do this it is
very important to maintain the balance between love
and career. The only difference between VTV and us
is the climax. May be VTV version in Telugu will be
more an exact application of our life that too with
an exception that our marriage happened with the concurrence
of both of our families.
We thank Mr. Gautham Vasudev Menon for replicating
us unintentionally on screen and we can show your
movie to our daughter after 10 to 15 years time as
to how our love life blossomed.
Formula to win your love life that will win many hearts
= Balance (love + career + your family + your lover's
family)
Regards,
Krishna
