Companionship.
I discovered the pleasure of companionship thanks to my sister. My sister Priyanca (isn’t that a beautiful name?) was in town during my holi vacations, and it was my good fortune that there was no one else to spend time with her and so me and her went around Delhi like a bunch of typical tourists. And I had such a good time, and more importantly I discovered what I would like in my companion for life – my jeevan sathi so to say. Here some things that I liked about Priyanca and I would like in my life partner.
We started out with doing some clothes shopping together and that’s where the connection began. She gave me really good feedback on what looked good on me and what did not, while at the same time weighing practical aspects (difficult to maintain etc). But she was not pushy about her views at all. If I was attracted to something, she encouraged me to go for it telling me the pluses of it. That was something I really liked.
What I really liked about her was her willingness to rough it out, to experience things fully without any cushionification. She had no objection to travelling by autos, to walking around rather than going by car etc. And she was game to try anything. She walked around the crowded streets of chandni chowk, she even got wet when some kids threw some balloons at us, but she took it quite sportingly.
I also liked the fact that she was quite a physical sort of a person. We were almost constantly maintaining physical contact – our shoulders touching, arms rubbing, at times she would hold on to my arm when she was very excited or nervous. And yet at the same time it was not over the top the way you would see two lovers with interlocked hands etc. I liked that.
She was great to talk to. She was really curious about India, wanted to learn and get more knowledge about stuff. She was a good listener, while at the same time was also interesting to listen to. She was genuinely interested in getting to know my thoughts and views about different things. She had a great sense of humor and an easy laugh. I really like that – women who laugh easily.
And last but not the least – she was also fitness conscious. She liked to eat healthy and get good exercise. This part is really important, because it is really difficult to eat healthy or take out time for exercising if your partner is not into all that stuff. You feel like you are not being a good team player if you suggest doing things that your partner does not like. And you somehow lose motivation if you have to exercise by yourself while your partner is sitting and watching TV. It’s a different matter when I am alone – then I can exercise with dedication. But I can’t exercise vigorously when I go visit my family because of this reason.
