So the 2-month-anniversary eve saw my darling better half struggling with crazy business problems that erupted like a hitherto sleeping angry volcano. The events that followed saw us "borrowing" a neighbour's hammer without telling him, breaking open the lock of a makeshift storage space (first time I saw a lock being smashed open!), and then running to find a new space when the one with the broken lock didn't work out. By the time we got to the location after being tipped off by a trusted employee it was 12 in the night. I wish I could say it was all sinister, but no. Vadodara is in the midst of beautiful, not-very-cold winters right now. So it was actually a gorgeous midnight. The place was a tad shady, and the owner had a tiny dog who was incessantly and suspiciously whining. But that's what adventures are made up of I guess!
Following that trip, we decided to visit one other potential option for the business which was in a deserted industrial area, and just when we thought we were done, our car ran out of petrol and stalled in the middle of nowhere! It was around one in the night by this time, and we flagged down an auto guy who was super suspicious of a boy dressed up for work and a girl in pyjamas and tshirt with her sleep-in sweater asking him to take them to the nearest petrol pump with two empty water bottles in their hands.
Anyhow, all's well that ends well. We found petrol and got back home and crashed. In the midst of all this, I managed to prepare custard and jelly for the first time ever! It was super awesome, and dare I say the silver lining on a dark dark day. 2 am: we wished each other and tried to sleep which was hard considering one annoying mosquito made us his musical target.
I'd heard marriage is an adventure - finally experiencing and loving every moment of this journey. *Touch wood*
