"We need to meet Yogesh and Pallavi today evening . Try and wrap your work early.I will pick you." This was an early morning conversation Nimish and I had (ofcourse in Marathi) few days after we had decided to get married . While I had met almost everyone from his family, I was yet to meet his brother and his wife. While they were changing homes from Bangalore to Pune, they were supposed to be in Mumbai for sometime and therefore they decided to meet. All this while I had heard so many things about them from my to be -MIL and Nimish, that I was extremely keen to meet them. Most of the times in such cases , you tend to make a mental profile of people whom are curious to meet , especially when they will be your future in laws.
And many of such times, you go worng with such profiles . However I have to admit , I was bang on with my profiles that I had created for Yogesh and Pallavi. Infact they were much more warm than I actually thought. In such cases where one can easily try to be powerful or even rag , they made comfortable from the 1st minute that we met. And I as I got to know them gradually, I began to experience various facets or dimensions of Yogesh's personality. He was an aggressive corporate honcho who took his work damn seriously , he was a husband totally in love in with his wife as if they were just married , even after 7-8 years of marriage, he was a father who pampered his daughter silly but also ensured she obeyed everyone in the house, he was a doting son totally in control of what was happening in his parent's life inspite of living in a different city and he was less of a brother and more of friend to his siblings , whose chemistry I had never seen before. And here I was adding another relationship dimension to his personality. We hit off so well that in no time , I started tying him Rakhi and taking blessings on Bhau- Bheej. Our realtion graduated from him being my brother-in law to Brother and thus became my Bro- Dada.
One of the aspects of Yogesh's multifaceted personality that I love he is extremely honest about certain pinciples and values that he follows and he doesn't compromise on them in whatever circumstances. Also those who don't know him personally should know that he is a great orator, so much that he can actually inspire and also infleunce people to move in the right direction. He has a bag full of interesting and valuable real life stories and incidents to narrate which I am sure , he must be using in his coaching sessions.
Today when he crosses over his mid-century in life , he has a wide experience to share and has been an excellent role model to all of us. May this journey bring new successes , warm memories, loving experiences and a long healthy life.
Onwards and Upwards only Yogesh .
Happy Happy Happiest Birthday Dada
