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,
Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa
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
