It’s strange nowadays video is just like a normal call, whenever you want so just click it.
When I met my husband, it was an arranged marriage, his parents came to my place and then told him about me. We arranged a first video call on Facebook, he was in Connecticut and I was in India so that was the only way. When call started I got network issues than a political rally, the sound, that call was about one hour but we were struggling with all this, instead of talking to each other, we were helping each other for these issues. After the call, we two realize that we are good to go, although we did not ask any specific questions, But yes we can have a life together. Funny and a bit strange.
I was in the IT industry and he was too, so when we share this with friends how we agreed without meeting each other they said you are doing a mistake. But not, it was the best decision of our life.
That was two month when we talk on chat, phone without physically meeting, and without a meeting, we fall in love, I want a love marriage but never thought about arranged love marriage.
When we first meet that was our engagement day, I was afraid what he will think like Am I fat, Am I dark, Am I beautiful…… A list of questions but when I see him nothing just we are there. So between engagement and marriage there is exactly 9 month, he back to Connecticut, I went to my place.
At that time WhatsApp was there but not with video facility, so only source was skype or Facebook. And other big issue timing Indian and USA timezone. Now a days wifi is bit good but around 8 years back I have cable wire so more problem. We have only weekends for video call, but most of weekends is like no electricity, no network and I just want to see him only for once no matter but want to see him, I went to internet cafes to get that skype but never work, I just cry and cry nothing work.
For us that 9 months is so difficult but that teaches us that we cannot live without each other, now it’s 10 years of marriage we fight but never go out of the house,because the feeling which we had on those 9 months, that was terrible feelings , some how its good for marriage.
I still imagine what it could be if we met offline, are we going to be the same or different ?
