I believe that true love is a rare occurrence of hearts and arranged marriages are nothing but arrangements of the mind. I believe that I’m here to unite twin souls. I believe that I am the love messiah.
My story started in 1997 when I met my true love. When a person meets his/her true love, they go through a different kind of turmoil, a kind of spiritual awakening. So when I met my soulmate, a strong current passed through my body and that’s one of the strong indicators as to how I knew he was the one.
I grew up in Jabalpur and came to Chennai in 1984. Even though I wasn’t in love with my brother’s best friend, a staunch Tamilian, I married him. Why? Because Ma Durga guided me to do so. You don't have to believe me; some have called me a nut job, but that has not bothered me. I have the gift. I truly believe that the power of Ma Durga manifests itself in me. That is why even though, as an over-the-top Punjabi, I did not like him very much, I still married my husband.
Coming back to my husband, he isn’t my true love but I am his. There was a lot of opposition from both our families when we decided to get married and at that time, I didn’t really give it a lot of thought. I assumed that he was my life. But then I later realised it was the biggest mistake I had ever made. There was a time when he would disappear for three or four nights without telling me. After he got a job in the US, I moved to be with him.
In 1997, I came back to Chennai to visit my parents and take care of them for a while. I had no idea my life would take a turn for the better and at the same time for the worse.
I met my true love through a friend but it took me four whole years before I could accept him as that. I knew that twin souls would cross paths only at the time assigned for them to meet, and this was my time.
We had a lot in common and being stuck in a loveless marriage was one. When my family heard about this, they abandoned me. With no family to turn to for support, I hoped that my lover would stay with me. I gave him an ultimatum that he should decide, within 15 minutes, if he wanted to leave his family and come with me or forget me forever. Shockingly, he chose his family and after that, I stopped talking to him and went back to my husband and we now live in Florida. Nothing has changed, my husband does his own thing and I do my own.
This is why I say I am here on earth to unite twin souls; I am the messiah of love. True love has made me realise a lot of things: that one’s soulmate is almost always the extreme opposite of that person and that true love exists.
