I have never thought of going abroad since I was in college. When my parents started the groom hunt for me, I had few conditions like I will never leave India, I don't want a U.S. maapillai, preferably he should be from Chennai so that I can visit my parents once in a while, etcetera.
Few years ago, when my parents asked the astrologer about my future, he had said that I will go overseas and will never come back and will dislike India. I was like 'what $&!#'. In a way, I don't completely believe in horoscopes.
Meanwhile, we got a call from a groom's, saying they were interested in me. I visited the groom's matrimony profile and it said living in U.S. blah blah blah. But I kinda liked the guy. Luckily he had come to Chennai to attend his brother's wedding and was about to leave India in a couple of days.
Btw, both families decided to meet each other, have an informal talk and decide later about proceeding, depending upon our (myself and the groom's) decision. I was pretty nervous when I first met the guy. Mixed emotions. I liked him even more when we got to know each other. He was humorous, honest, smart and handsome. After giving it a few thoughts, it was a Yes from both of us. Of course, I did blush! :D.
Finally, we got married in 2010 and now I'm living in U.S. I know, it was my decision to come here. But I cannot stomach what the astrologer said. To me, it was totally ridiculous. When I came here, I liked the country for its cleanliness, infrastructure, environment, climate etc.. But still I miss my country in some way or the other. I miss my family, functions, festivals, friends and whatnot.
Sorgamae endralum adhu nam oora pola varuma? :)
Namaste!
