Six and Nine, Sixty Nine.
That is how the Tambola caller announces the number 69!
She loves playing Tambola, though may not be winning every time! So what?
She loves eating out, as the picture shows.
She loves her plants and the garden.
She loves online shopping. Offline too!
She loves eating mangoes! Who doesn't?
She loves sleeping late. And getting up later!
She loves all animals. And human beings too!
We love her for what she is!
Who is she?
She is the balancing weight of my life.
If I like crisp chappatis, she likes them soft.
If I like lauki, she loves her aaloo.
If I want my AC at medium, she wants to actually chill!
If I like my greens, she loves her whites.
If I relish palak-ki-daal, she devours her arhar-ki-daal and chawal.
If I choose an aisle, she wants her window.
If I chose white, she would select black. But not always, as the picture below shows!
This is God's way of keeping the balance in life. A balance which has seen us through the last 47 years! Without balance, even the largest of the boats will topple.
It is the 69th birthday today of my life's balance. Join us in wishing Neeta a very happy birthday.
Those who missed it earlier, read what we wrote on her 63rd birthday in 2017. It was titled 'Spouse's Birthday is Special'. It continues to be special.
May she continue to bring cheer into many lives.
God bless Neeta/Beigs/Mom/Dadi/Nani/Bhabhi/Jiji/Bhua/Taiji/Mami
