...and they lived happily ever after.


Summer of 2002.

There was a boy who we wil mention as Toto. He was working in a Software Firm in Vizag. He had just finished his Bachelors and was away from his hometown Rjy. Now the girl was from vizag, a happy go lucky, bubbly, fun-loving gal, lets name her as Dolly. She wasn't from the posh side of the society, but she had her own world. She had been thru lot of hardships and she was trying to get a job, just out of college. She luckily got thru the interview in the same company as Toto and she joined the firm.


May,2002-They worked in the same office, but in different departments. The gal being brought up in vizag had a couple of friends like Pappu, Addy, SA and SC who worked along with Toto. It was a small group, gud friends who had learnt lot with time, shared their joys and sorrows. Now Toto mentions to Pappu, I like this girl Dolly. Dolly tells Pappu, if Toto has such intentions, I wudnt like to talk and Dolly discontinued talking to Toto. Then came Toto's B'Day in June 2002. Pappu convinced Dolly that she shud talk to Toto, since it was his B'day. Dolly gives in and start talking with him, thus began their friendship. By the way Dolly is elder than Toto.


April,2004-As time passed, their friendship blossomed. They would go for long drives, sit on the beach, eat the local food at the beach. They understood each other well though each had their own share of problems. They shared so much in common. Pappu moved on to a different company but they were all in touch always. In April,2004 Toto moved to US of A. It was a gud start. Dolly cried so much becoz Toto was leaving her as he was always the guide, mentor and would support Dolly emotionally and morally throught her struggles. Though physically apart, they emailed each other regularly, talked on phone daily. Dolly worked for the US office, so she had a VOIP phone at her desk on which she cud talk endlessly to Toto.


Dec,2004-Strange events took place in Dolly's life.Dec 26th,2004-Tsunami Struck.

Jan 2005- As luck would have it Dolly travelled to US on a B1 visa thru her job which was her first trip to the outside world, across the seas. She stayed in Detroit and while Toto was in SC. February came and Dolly & Toto planned to meet. Toto booked her tickets and she met him for the first time after almost an yr at Greenville, Spartanburg International Airport,SC. They were so happy and Feb 12th 2005, Toto proposed and Dolly agreed to marry him. They had champagne, a teddy bear, red roses. It was the most beautiful part of her life. So romantic,Isnt it??

Feb13th,2005-Dolly was back in Detroit, The war of the worlds had just begun. Totos parents came to know about this and there was a big flow of emotions all over. Phones started ringing..Emotional blackmails. Toto decided to stay low for a while with everything going wrong.He wanted to let them know in a proper way.

April 2005- Dolly was back in India, She was torn away from toto. They kept in touch regularly while Dolly moved onto a new company.

July29th,2006-The big thing happened! Toto had been trying to convince his parents about Dolly, but parents are parents. They wouldnt agree to his wish. Finally, Dolly and Toto got married in Annavaram temple with blessings from Dollys parents and relatives.

August 2006-They started living in SC. They have had their own share of problems like every couple, Ups and Downs..


July29th.2007-1st Marriage Anniversary in Boston,MA: They had moved to Boston and they realised that after passing through all the tough times in life, they could live together for the rest of the life. Even though many people have been against the marriage, and love and happiness, this is a clear msg for all of them.

Dolly has stopped worrying abt all of them and she is way over it.

P.S: She loves Toto very much. He is the only thing in the world she would ever care about. Love u Toto. Always and Forever.

BTW Mr and Mrs.Pappu are having a baby and we guys are still in touch.We have been gud friends. We wil be visiting them in Seattle soon. SA has got married and he lives in Hawaii. He lives with his wife and son. Addy got married very recently and he is currently in AZ.
