today marks our 7th year as a couple (the old date, as we would like to put it). i've often heard about the so-called seven-year itch but i don't seem to get that feeling at all. right now all i can think about is how i am itching to have raj back at home. this is the first time we celebrated this day in two different time zones.

it's hard to believe that seven years had already passed since raj and i officially became a couple. the memories of how everything transpired remains vivid in my mind like it was only a day or two that it happened.

i commemorate this day not because it was when everything started. no, it began even before that. ours was a classic story of two best friends falling in love (like ron and hermione --- ok, i just have to say that! or barney and laura --- i am reading 'doctors' for the 5th time). and that didn't stop either when we became a couple because everyday, i find myself falling in love over and over again with him. and, i live in these moments.

for others, seven is a lucky number (ask lord voldy). but to say that i am lucky in love is an understatement. this is more than pure luck playing its part; more than a match point won in a series of overtime. this is a prayer heard by God, the blessing of a lifetime.

cheers to us!
