It was my first meeting with him. We had to go together –
Ma, Pa and me. Occasion? Well the occasion was to visit Captain Ranjit Singh
Shaurya’s residence. Purpose? Purpose was to meet and decide. Decide what? Decide
to make him my life partner. Looking at his photograph that Pa showed me a
couple of days before, was good enough to grab 50% yes. Rest 50% I had kept
reserved for this personal meeting, face to face, to meet, look and see and
then take a call of balance 50%. Ma and Pa had given me full liberty by telling
me that it will be totally my call in all decisions related to me and my life. They
will be there always, to guide me, suggest me and counsel me; but finally it
has to be my call. Great are my Ma and Pa!

No, he is not a captain
of the Indian team – cricket, football, hockey or volleyball; he is a Captain in
Indian Army. On the way to his house, I was just refreshing in my mind, his
clean-shaven face, his handsome appearance and the smartness he was carrying
all along. We reached well as per fixed time. I was told that his grandmother,
mother and father would also be there at the home to welcome us. Ranjit is posted
in Kanpur currently. Every three years they have posting at a different place. I
was excited and thinking of the rest of 50% that will decide if I would be
moving city to city, covering all over India during rest of the years of my
life. And probably finally we would be settling in the best of the places
visited.

Knock Knock! Ah, I mean Pa pressed the doorbell and Ranjit’s
father opened the door. Everyone was sitting in the drawing where we were taken
along by Ranjit’s father. But what is this? Ranjit was not at all looking as
smart and handsome as his photograph was. Reason? He was carrying a stubble,
almost 2-3 days old. What could be the reason? Any serious thing happened in
the house? “No, nothing! All is fine!” said his mother when Ma asked them. Then
why Ranjit is not clean shaven? “Oh, he is just like that. He is quite
disciplined when on duty but at home he stays quite relaxed like this”, said
his mother.

Nothing doing. The rest of 50% had made earlier +50 to -50
too. The final call was a big no from my side just for a simple reason. The guy
is a gentleman only when on duty and at home is so careless about emotions of
others that he never bothers to clean-shave his face. NO! That was it!
