First Date
 Sumeet
and I decided to meet after few weeks of talking to each other.
Sumeet flew down to NY. Sumeet was staying at the Westin, in Times
Square where we met and then headed to Lattanzi, an elegant-rustic,
family owned Italian Restaurant. Then we walked our way to check out
MOMA. To our surprise, we both had mixed feelings on how our first
date went at the end of the day. Despite that, we
decided to meet again the next day. None of us knew how different
Sunday would be from Saturday but we decided to take another chance.
On
Sunday, we met at Westin again. Weather that day was perfect – 75
degrees, cool breeze and sunny. We both were more at ease, informal
with each other and casual in our attire and attitude. This made a
huge difference. We started our day in a very Victorian style with a
brunch at Tavern on the Green, at Central Park. Time flew with us
chatting without taking a breadth. The charms of Central Park lead us
to enjoy a long walk when we talked about any and every random thought
that came to our mind. The day flew by and we didn’t realize the
amount of time we had spent with each other.
That
Sunday was indeed different from Saturday. We could feel a familiar
comfort level, which we had established amongst each other during our
weeks of talking over the phone. This day was very special for both of
us.

As time
passed by, we began to feel and believe that we both belong together.
We then gave our consensus to our parents and sought their permission
and blessings.
