Real-life Romantic Snippets
Update: A girl of her fiance: "He kisses me till my lips are sore.
I've never been kissed like this before!"
Here are some of the sweetest lines I have heard in a long time. I'm going to reproduce them in the original language they were spoken in, ie. Gujarati, and then translate, because the affection and intimacy of loving words spoken in a native tongue just cannot be translated any other way.
A young man telling his fiancee: "Tane khabar chhe, hu tane aaje akho divas nathi malyo!"
"Do you realise, I haven't met you all day today!"
A little boy, all of 1 year 10 months, after throwing a tantrum upon his return form Nainitaal, goes with his mother and older brother to see the new-born daughter of his parent's friends. After gazing upon her for a few minutes, he asks his mother,
"Hame ene ghare lai jaiye?" (Shall we take her home with us?)
And the mother says "Na, amna nai, vees varash pachhi laiaavse to chaalse!" (not now, but it's okay if you bring her home after 20 years!)
(Well, it is something like 20 years later now, and we're waiting to see where time takes our infant lovers!)
SIGH. At least romance is alive, even if it's not mine!

'Things that I do for you.' What about that one! *sigh* Tch tch...
awwww
Very sweet. Tru story for you - two Bengali families I know in this city have known each other for decades. One family's son and the other's daughter grew up together and were so attached that they would even cry for each other rather than their parents when sleep went awry or if they got hurt. Then she moved to Calcutta for college while he stayed. A few years later they met again, fell in love again and are now married!
What the small kid said was very cute. A friend of mine got this in SMS!!
Nadi ni ret ma ramtu nagar maley ke naa maley,
Phari aa jivan dharti par maley ke naa maley,
Karu chhu yaad tamne dil thi,
Pachi kadach aa dil dhadkatu maley ke naa maley.
Brad!!! You KNOW that wasn't in a romantic context though it was sweet!
Everyone else - I also heard about a Shaivite/Vaishnav couple in South India who were going out in uni and who, despite immense opposition from both sides, got married in a civil ceremony with a professor and their friends as witness, lived in a tiny place with a trunk as a bed and 2 dishes. They are now settled in NY and are still the sweetest and happiest couple I know, after 30 years! I was crying at the Saathiya type story when she told us. They still have their black and white marriage photo with their guests outside the court.
Aranyi!! It might not fit the bill as portrayed by the title of your post, but it sure does go with the first line of your post! And you said it yourself, "...context though it was sweet."
Hmmm...Now read the comment above this one, and see how the meaning has changed and has become more 'bold', as you have changed the first line of the post!!!
