This post is 3 months late (due to a certain tech difficulties) but hey! better late than never, right?
So today I am in the mood to talk about the wonderful man who is always behind the scenes of my blog - My husband! I am sure everyone knows by now that he is a scientist (hence we all know who has the the brains in this relationship. No arguments there!). Before meeting him I had never known a scientist in real life. It is safe to say my impression of this profession was heavily influenced by the stereotype portrayed in the books and films. And like most stereotypes, there is always an exception.
Besides being intelligent, he is handsome, charming, compassionate, friendly ... I could go on and on and on ... I have lost most of my friends to him. They shamelessly declare that they prefer him over me. *sigh* But the best quality of his is that he never behaves like a typical 'Indian' man i.e. doesn't taunt me or stop me from shopping, never makes me feel guilty of leaving him behind and travel (if I do!), if I am busy writing a blog post (like right now) he cleans the kitchen and does the dishes (without me having to ask!), is always willing to take me on a holiday, makes midnight runs to the gas station if I run out of my chocolate stash (I am sure he is glad that I haven't asked him to do that in the last 4 months), never gets tired of listening to me talk about Salman, Hrithik & Aamir (Indian Actors!), and always accompanies me to all the movies I wanna watch and [beat this] also, manages to sit through the chick-flicks without whining. And of course, he was not a photographer till he met me but he has learnt the art over the past year, via research and youtube videos, just for me and my small little blog! He is my photographer, tech-support, proof reader, bounce board for ideas and punching bag. All-in-ONE! :D
He is also, one of the funniest people I have ever met. He comes up with the wittiest and the cutest stuff, out-of-the-blue! Whenever he sees me eagerly checking my mail early in the morning, he knows I must have posted the night before and hence, will ask, "Movie release ho gayi?" [Translation: "Has the movie released?" Interpretation: "Is the new post up?"]. Whenever I cook something of his liking, he'll come up with new ways to compliment me. One recent compliment that I remember, "Tum annapurna ho!" [Translation: "You are bestower of food in great quantity"] ... You get he idea! :)
I am not saying that my life is perfect ... what I am saying is ... that ... he makes it worth it, to struggle through the imperfections!
I wasn't ready! I thought Husband was still checking the lighting and what-not! |
Lighting seems fine, right? |
But he didn't think so, and I got tired of waiting! |
Finally! |
Tired and ready to go home! |

ReplyDeleteTo be honest and no offence I did not learn anything from this post.

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post Tanvi! It is truly a blessing to have someone special who treats you like royalty in your life. I am always bewildered by the things my honey does for me. You are a lucky woman and he is equally a lucky man!

Wonderful tribute to your hubby, Tanvi! You look great, too. Have a wonderful trip! xo style, she wrote
ReplyDeleteI like to think most bloggers have a wonderful guy behind the lens! This is such a fabulous tribute. Totally missing my husband now while he's away on conference:(
ReplyDeleteawww that's super sweet. love these pics, and am loving the bright red lips...perfect for fall!
ReplyDeletexxx
Such a sweet post! Love hearing about couples who are still smokin' for each other!
ReplyDeleteThis dress looks so good as a skirt. And LOL- loved reading your commentary on the photos!
ReplyDeleteI actually didn't know your husband was a scientist, what kind of science does he work in?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this post is soooooo adorable, you and your husband are SO CUTE!
Love your outfit! :) I'm really impressed that you were able to walk around in those shoes, I wouldn't have been able to, haha!

Such an adorable post. Your husband must be so happy after knowing that you think that he is so efficient. :) I can't help but go "Awww!"
ReplyDeleteI love your footwear Tanvi! :)

This is very sweet. God bless you guyz.. like hamesha! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this ost and I am so happy that you guys are so happy together. There are a lot of bad men (and women too) and there are loads of bitter articles about men being dogs etc etc. It is nice to see someone celebrating her man! My hubby is a dear too and although he claims never to read my blog he was so touched when I did a post just about him!! My guess is that your hubby would really appreciate what you wrote about him!! The problem is that I sometimes find it harder to say it to his face!! So much easier to write the words.
ReplyDeleteTanvi this post not only shows how wonderful your husband is but also how deeply you love him. <3

Woah you look killer here. You're husband is one lucky fellow!
ReplyDeleteMost of my friends from school are scientists now. Scientists are an amazing group of friends to have. I find them as much fun loving as any other branch of profession.
ReplyDeleteYou travel so much ...can't believe you have not made your way to Dallas yet.
Geeta
YOU LOOK GORG! your hubby seems wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteAwww he sounds so dreamy! May god bless both of you! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your heels and that skirt is fabulous! Sounds to me like you snagged the perfect guy for you! You are fortunate to have found such a great guy. But he is equally as fortunate to have found a great woman who appreciates him.
ReplyDeleteWow!!!!!! He sounds amazing. I can only hope to find a man with half of those qualities! I've never found someone that supportive.
ReplyDeletehey gurl..hope you had fun diwali!!!
ReplyDeleteawww...such a nice post.....you know..after being married...i know realise what true love and compassion is...and hope you two guys have a lot of fun in life!!
Those are some qualities hard to find in Indian men, you certainly have a winner!!! Very beautiful post!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so great you have a supportive husband. This is such an awesome tribute post :)

ReplyDeleteIt's feels nice even to see two people who co-exist so well together....tum dono ki rishte ko kisi ki nazar na lage! Lots of love & best wishes for a long life of togetherness.....that was so sweet of you to write about him!
He's as lucky to have got you as a wife as you are to have got him as a husband!! :))
