WE met on 30 Jul 2007 and got Married in Sep 2008 (Tunganath) the formal wedding happened in Dec 2008. Super fast indeed. But there was not a dirth of doubt that this is the man I want. May be that the Ajmer magic for my life too. :-) @Ansi yes lets get Chhota Amit settled quickly.

But Snigs & Vinu's story started last year only when she moved to Bangalore, if I'm not wrong, yeah? So thats why her case deserves that title, the Web 2.0 types marriage - see it, love it & get registered! :D Ansy, your case wouldn’t be called that since your & Manish’s courtship had been going on for quite sometime.

I don't possess that much wisdom to argue on this issue, atleast not at this stage of life. Maybe sometime in future I'll have the wisdom & knowledge to be able to do discussion on such a topic! :) Snigs, your scenario is beyond normal, yours was what I'd say fast food marriage if you know what I mean, hehehe! :D Ansy, maybe you are right, maybe you are not.

When you want something the whole Universe conspires to give it to you. In my case also, all I wanted was peace in my life and the way Vinayak and I met, things happened between us my faith in God has only become stronger. @Ansy, I agree with you.

Needless to say I was thinking of the two most significant things in my life at that point in time: 1. my single status; 2. my job which kept me independent. I also said a special prayer for my father's healing. The latest reports show some improvement in his disjointed bone, after 6 years of unhealed fracture!! Maybe faith is compelling; as Paulo Coehlo says, if you really want something, the whole Universe conspires to give it to you! @Amit: As you know I was too claustrophobic even to complete the entire process of chaadar-charhana; but when I came outside, I tied a thread at one of the lattice grills, and just prayed that let what is right and best for me happen in my life!

She tied a thread there & got what she wanted! :) Maybe you gals also wished for the same thing(getting married to men you love) & all three of you got married in less than 1 year, eh, talk about co-incidence! ;) As far as I'm concerned, I don't believe in such things, but somehow I found peace in all that hubbub at the <em>dargah</em>. Besides the <em>dargah</em> I've felt that same kind of peace inside me only at Rishikesh, Tungnath & Khajuraho. As for Pushkar, we can go there again if you people are interested. Its a good place for a quiet weekend, but I think will be better if we go in early november(before Urs) or in december. Late january was kinda hot for it as we experienced last time! :) Well, Shobhna believes that Ajmer Sharif’s dargah did make a difference, as per what Hitesh told me!

I dont know, may be it did make a change to all our lives. I mean most of us happily married and settled, have gt whatever we wanted from life. May be it was Dargah...

I am dying to go to Pushkar, and I do hope we can make a trip. I also wonder sometimes that did the Dargah visit, make the difference in our lives!!! Will check Vinayak's website and leave some (not-so-)expert comments!!! @Snigs … I am dying to go to Pushkar, and I do hope we can make a trip.

So much has changed since then. Changed for the good for all of us who travelled to Ajmer and Pushkar. I feel like going there again, this time with the better halves of our lives :-) I am going to share this with Vinayak. O BTW, did you check his website? He has given his website some face lift. www.vinayakdasphotography.com Wow, am so nostalgic all of a sudden. So much has changed since then.
