"Turning it up to eleven"

The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and eleven.

It’s been eleven years.

Eleven Minutes, written by Paulo Coelho, is a literal journey of a young woman Maria. But in our case, it has been eleven years.

Eleven is a powerful number and for that matter, a powerful year in our life.
There’s also an essay “The Eleven Vows of Mahatma Gandhi” though in our case, there is only one vow of loving each other immensely and we fulfill this vow everyday.

So, eleven questions must have emerged from the significance of “eleven” in my life.

Well, to cut the long story short, on 19th June, 2010, I and Jason complete eleven years of being together. It was on this day in 1999 that we met at Dadar station, platform no.5, under the indicator at 5 o’clock in the evening that had nothing to do with “dating”. But as they say in romantic novels, destiny had its own plan and we fell in love with each other and got married within six months and to end it in a fairy tale fashion, have been living happily ever after.
Amen.
