Our sphere of happiness
|
|
|
The Aryas
belong to the beautiful hills of Uttranchal and hail from the scenic town Nainital. The Sodhanis
belong to the colourful state of Rajasthan, and have now moved to the
historical town of Gwalior in MP for the last 60 years or so.

The families... |
|
|
Swati�s
parents are based in Gwalior, the city of the Scindias, for the last 4 years.
Her father Chandra Mohan Sodhani has an online share-broking outfit and her
mother Leela Sodhani runs the household. Before Gwalior, they were settled in
various cities of India, Raigarh, Jamshedpur and Bombay, to name a few. Vishal�s
elder brother Vikas is with the Indian Railways and is based in Jabalpur
(popularly known as �Jafalfur� in the Arya family, which is how the little
Nonie pronounces it!!!!). He is married to Chandra, who is also from Delhi.
Their three year old daughter Nonie is the center of attraction in the family,
constantly and pleasantly surprising everyone with her cute antics. There is
another little one on the way, and is going to bless the Arya family in January.
So we will have another Capricorn gracing us soon !!!!!!! Vishal�s
younger brother Gaurav is studying in class XII in Jabalpur. Though he has a
string of friends in Delhi, mostly girls, who constantly bombard him with phone
calls the moment they hear of his arrival in the city!!!!! Well, such is his
popularity!!!! Looks like he
is following his brothers� footsteps !!!!! Swati�s
younger brother Sorabh is studying in his 4th engineering year at IIT, Mumbai.
He is popularly known as �topi� amongst his friends, a secret well
kept for almost 2 years until we stumbled on it !!!!! He is a sports freak and
was elected the sports secretary of his hostel.

Till death do us part���. |

Capricorn's earth element and Pisces� water
element blend beautifully and make a fertile combination. The sum total of the
relationship is gentle support and caring. Can a goat and a fish find happiness?
Absolutely. We would like
to end here by quoting what Vicky Bhaiyya (Vishal's elder bro) once wrote to Swati �I think he
is serious about you, shayad usko kuch
kuch ho raha hai! I do not know
how much you two know about each other or for how long you have known each other
but it is nice to share your togetherness, It is nice to know that you bring
happiness to my brother and your �sphere of happiness� includes him, we only
hope it will include a lot more people besides vish� Understanding And
fairness and courtesy Responsibility
and loyalty And
honesty Strong
Arms And
a gentle touch An
attentive ear And
an open mind A
sharing of sorrow And
a respect for privacy To
grow and to let grow To
have and to hold For
richer, for poorer In
sickness and in health To
love and to cherish Till
death do us part Vishal and Swati would like to thank all those who made their dream come true. Especially their parents. And above all, their undaunting faith in us. This moment is dedicated to them, and so is the happiness we feel inside. THANK
YOU!!! |
