On Sunday we were watching this movie WARRIOR [A must watch, btw, if you haven't already!] and randomly my mind started wandering about how since over thousands and thousands of years, two absolute strangers have decided to get married (or become partners) and willingly taken the decision to become part of each others' happiness and troubles. I mean, isn't it quite amazing, how closely we get involved and how everything about our lives get intertwined with each other? Our finances, professional decisions, inter-personal relationships which once, were independent of each other, today practically are woven together so tightly that the threads can barely even been seen!?!? I am not quite sure, I am being able to translate my thoughts into words here today but all I am trying to say that it seems like an endearing phenomenon specially since human beings are essentially selfish so how does our pain and sufferings unite with this one person. And then we spend rest of our lives trying to make each other's "life" a little more easier, happier, fuller. Isn't it wonderful and amusing at the same time? Has anyone else ever wondered about it?
I mull-over these trivialities of life and then hubby comes back from work with cake and ice cream and I think, "Whatever, Life is good!" ... oh! and all you single people don't bother about it just yet. party and live it up till the real life and its necessary evils sneak up on you! :)

Aww isn't it the little things and treats fabulous? It is funny and awesome to really share our lives with a single person - we aren't all totally selfish at the end of the day!

Oh, I think about this a lot! and I get what you are trying to say :)
ReplyDeleteI often think about the way S and I became friends, dated and got married. I mean, both of us are from the opposite parts of india (east and west) and if at that time if anyone would have told me that my life's thread would be intertwined with someone staying miles apart, I would have laughed! But it is amazing how two people decide to share their whole lives with each other. It never fails to amaze me :)
PS: love your hat and the cake and ice cream :P
Ha! I love Ingrid Michaelson! That's a cute dress and i think being with someone having such intertwined lives, sharing so much is extremely endearing and wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYes we are selfish enough to want someone in our life, someone who understands us and makes us happy! Being single and being married - both have their pros and cons!
ReplyDeleteCute dress!
Right! These thoughts cross my mind too...This a wonderful phenomenon and beautiful feeling. Keep LOVING n LIVING :)
ReplyDeleteU look lovely <3

Gorgeous outfit, fabulous hat, love it! See you soon. x
ReplyDeleteI agree to what u said , marriage makes life different but then that difference becomes a part of life !
ReplyDeleteI love that dress! Looks like candy-cane. You're totally right about lives intertwining... the scary thing is that one day if you have to face life without that person it becomes indescribably hard!
ReplyDeletedint the temperatures in Hawai go up ?? you look sizzling :)
ReplyDeleteThat surely is a phenomena we will always wonder about :) Marriage enforces this even more than just a relationship. Somehow its just impossible to distinguish the threads of one's life from your partner's just like you said but its beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely here! Casual but chic and I love the pink colour in your dress!
xoxoxo

Yes i do think abt these things and sometimes I feel so lucky n blessed! :) Life is good. *touchwood*
ReplyDeleteAnd u look lovely in the pics! :)
very cute dress tanvi..ya enjoying being single...
ReplyDeleteYou look so beachy, me wanna go on vacation now!!!! And yes, marriage is pretty amazing, especially how you love someone to bits one day and are ready to bang him on the head another day!!
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at how much you manage to say in such brief clarity:-)No wonder you started as a writer till fashion finally took over:-)
ReplyDeleteDid Hawaii become hotter or cooler post this madame?:-)
Such a cute, beachy, relaxed look! Love the pink!!
ReplyDeletelucky you! hawaii is in my wishlist:))
ReplyDeleteI think you translated your thoughts into words quite well. I cannot imagine a life without my husband in it and its funny cuz 6 years back, the thought of marriage scared me.
ReplyDeleteYou are instantly taking me to Maui with your recaps!!
Hadnt heard of Warrior. Just went and read up about it. Sounds like a very powerful movie about family relationships so can see how it got you thinking. Lovely to see you in the sunshine again. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteI like that beach look, makes me want summer here now :) xoxo
ReplyDeletejust this weekend hubby and I were discussing the same thing
ReplyDeletelove the dress
Tanvi,
ReplyDeleteThat is the secret of successful and happy marriages. You reminded me of a very old song which I do not recollect fully but some of the lyrics went like this - EK DUJE KI PEHCHAN HAIN HUM.
Take care
I definitely wonder how our lives revolve around each other, how happy we are just to see each other smiling but I am not looking for any Whys...I a in a happy place :)
ReplyDeleteLove the bag! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the post.. the underlying tone is so real, write a short story, I am sure it'll be really engrossing...
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how some people (like you) look good no matter what they wear. In even a simple outfit like this, you radiate beauty. I suspect the impression you create has more to do with who you are than the clothes you're wearing.
ReplyDeleteHhmmmm.....I know what you mean...sometimes I feel like that already! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are perfectly vacay-dressed!! Like the whole laid back/refreshing vibe of the outfit!
The neon pink dress is so cute. I could steal it right now.
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely amazing! Ahh the sun looks so awesome. And it is so amazing how people can unite and take on all of the happiness and troubles.
ReplyDeleteHope you have an amazing day!
-Ellie
This I think is the best holiday look so far!The dress,the hat,the laid back attitude;all work together soo well!!
ReplyDeleteP.S.Very very pretty!!!
you're completely right. i too find it so amazing that you can find someone that becomes someone you want to spend and share the rest of your life with. and it works. we are so lucky.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very interesting thought indeed. I am getting married in September, yet the thought never really crossed my mind. What did start all of this anyway?
ReplyDeleteLove your gorgeous pictures. The pink is great on you and that hat is great!
re you comment, you got the personality spot on. Well observed. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteSo beach-ey..I love the dress!
ReplyDeletelove the horizontal stripes on you and that hat is divine! great musings too and what a lovely gesture by your hubby. yes, life is good!!:-)
ReplyDeleteLOVING THAT HAT!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the hat and the dress..so beachy..I want to go on a beach vacation n.o.w :)
ReplyDeleteAnd wow! loved the post! You have put across an amazing thought in few words..Loved it! It is amazing that two people decide to spend the rest of their lives together and support and provide for each other :)
Warrior is a classic! I love that movie. I think we are inherently selfish people, but we also fear loneliness. That doesn't mean we marry for that reason only. It is an inexplicable phenomenon! But it's supremely fun, no?
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute dress. You look so relaxed! I can see why you didn't want the trip to end.
I can't remember ever being single actually since we've been together since we were 14 but it is funny how much compromise goes into a relationship isn't there. And look, you have that wonderful hubby to bring you treats and make you realize how it's all worth it :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI think about this too..it is a magical feeling!!
ReplyDeleteCute dress..perfect for the beach :)
great beachy look. loving the hat
ReplyDeleteLove the dress. Almost looks like it's summer there too!
ReplyDeleteLove the philosophical comments on marriage and love. Seems like the recent weeding you attended and helped plan was lurking in your unconscious mind?
ReplyDeleteCute dress!
Meetu D
well nice to hear such good message from someone married. Otherwise all the married people around me seem to be so pessimistic about it.
ReplyDeletealthough am single and am loving my life, and there's nothing I want to change about it, I also feel that if how ure married life is depends how you carry it. And it would be good to have someone around u tht u can count on all the time.
"SEXY SEXY SEXY" !!
ReplyDeletelooking good! I love pink
ReplyDeleteTravel in Style
This is so summery! I love the look. So much :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I know what you mean, marriage can be a blessing if you enjoy the company..cherish the little moments...
I can relate to the icecream bit :D It's the best to have little surprises...
Such a playful look. totally love it. :)
ReplyDeletewe are now following you

I do think sharing is caring and its just wonderful to be able to do that with someone, for the rest of your life :)
ReplyDeleteand until that someone comes in your life, sharing with friends and family is just as wonderful too :D
I love your gypsy look! makes me crave for a vacation!!!!
The one of you walking down the street is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteyes, the idea of two human beings finding each other and getting married and sticking together is a weird concept when you think about human nature, which is probably why not all marriages last. but the good ones do!
ReplyDeletelove your huge floppy hat!
I do think it is wonderful to be able to share you life with the right person. Every day I am so glad that I met and married my husband. Really don't know how he can put up with me! I would drive me mad!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a chic hat! And I gotta say, I had fun when I was single...but being married to the hubs beats it for sure!
ReplyDeleteWarriors, likenthe gang 80s movie?
ReplyDeleteI have gypsy blood; it's where i get my eye color apparently
Cake would make all my thoughts disappear too! xx
