Engaged!
December 29th, 2008
Dec 29th 2008 will go down in history as the day I got engaged to Swapna.
At the risk of sounding cheesy, I’ll nevertheless, say a few things about her. Alright… so here we go…
Although my parents did all the work and found her for me, I must admit that they didn’t do all that bad. 
She is a software professional like me and works in Boston. Going by the experience that this long distance relationship has provided us over the last 6 months (For those who don’t know, I live in Dallas, TX which is about 1759 miles from Boston as per Google maps), I can say this much – She is GREAT!
Swapna is a very sweet, loving, caring, understanding, kind, polite and lovable girl that grew up in the same city as I, back in India. We have that thing in common (in addition to a lot of other things) and it makes things a lot easier. For example, music we listen to, movies we like, eating habits, local jokes and the references that go with them etc.
In any case, I know it takes a lot of patience to deal with someone like me (I can hear you going “yeah…no shit!”) . And I think she is ready, willing and in fact happy to do that for the rest of our life together as a couple.
All said I think she is just beautiful inside out. And I hope I’ll be able to make her just as happy as she makes me and continue doing that for the rest of the journey.
Wish us luck!

Congratulations Girish! Beautiful pictures of a happy couple. I can’t wait to meet Swapna. So, inquiring minds want to know: Will the Gangadharans be living in Dallas or Boston or Kerala or somewhere else entirely?
