For me and Sony, today marks the first anniversary of a journey together. There has been a lot of learning in the past year. I learned that my wife is not the “perfect wife” I had imagined to be. I also learned that I am not the “perfect husband” that my wife had imagined her husband to be. And together we have learned that it is those imperfect notes which would progress to a soulful, melodious, harmonious symphony that is called life.
I had an idea of a ‘dream girl’ in my teenage, but my adult life had turned that upside down. I realized that it is not about two people loving the same genre of music or movies, same idea of politics or social life, sharing the same talent or interest in any form of art or sport, same age or education level or anything of that sort. What really binds two people is the love and understanding between them. The strength to be open to one another (and to conceal a few things for the common good ;-)). The strength to apologize when needed. These things could make them go many miles ahead. I realize that now.
So here’s to an year of two imperfect people being together which has become all the more exciting with the arrival of our son.
