Hi Frienz! Lets know something about Ashi’s parents. The story goes back to the time when Ashi’s parents were unmarried. I’m telling the story of their marriage because that’s also an interesting episode of their lives.

Ashi’s father is Inder Sharma whom we know as Mr. Sharma. Inder is born and brought up in Delhi. He has completed M.Com from Delhi University and planning to do PhD. He is 25 yrs., tall, handsome, decent and ambitious man who is interested in his studies and career only. His family constitutes of parents, five brothers and two sisters including him. His two elder brothers and sisters are married. One day he comes to know that his father has fixed his marriage with a girl who belongs to a very rich family. Friends this happened around 40 years ago when mostly arranged marriages used to take place and parents din’t bother to ask for the consent of the girls and guys. So. Inder din’t see his would be bride but as usual he was very happy and was dreaming of his life partner. Finally, the day arrived and he saw his bride.

Oh God! What is This?

It seemed the roof fell on his head and he was about to faint.

Heavily clad in bridal dress and jewellery was not a girl but a woman, dark, fat, ugly and around 12-13 years older than him. He got up in lightning speed and was about to flee when his father caught hold of him and forced him to sit again. Inder’s dad was a terror, as most of the fathers are for their sons, and the whole household was under his control only. Reluctantly, he married Damayanti (that was the bride’s name) but fled to Chandigarh the same night. Everybody in his family was shocked and his brothers were looking for him. After a week he was found in one of his friend’s house and was brought back to home. First time in life he opened his mouth in front of his dad and told him that he wont accept that woman as his wife.
