what was it that attracted you to him/her when it did?
Arranged marriage or love marriage, there comes a point when you decide that I want him/her...
In my case, I was already liking him day by day, and knew he liked me too...and it [the liking] increased when we got to spend more time during college winter functions when we got to spend a lot of time together. Me just as a watcher, and him in the middle of all activities, and still taking out the time to come talk to me. Saw his abundant energy among other qualities and began respecting him even more.
But the tipping point came on the talent night when he sang a song on the stage. I came out after the song and he followed me outside. I had to wait for my friend to come out after the show to drop her back, and he actually missed his next song on stage to be with me. So we sat on our scooter/bike and began talking. On my request, he sang another song in the quietness of the night, leaving me mesmerised. And we sat talking as the night turned into 1994 and people came out after the party. 10 days later we were dating, and 4 years later we were married.
What was yours?

Re: what was it that attracted you to him/her when it did?
Since you did not mention marriage, here it is...
First was her voice from back. It took me by surprise. When I turned back to see who it was, the eyes - so big and dazzling.
She walked out of that place after 3 years and I walked after 1+ years more. Never seen her again, but she is still lingering inside and with every kind of effort I cannot still get her out of mind.
Hope she is happy wherever she is.
(BTW with a few gestures, she never even noticed or gave a damn to my presence or personality
and so I did not either make it further and on many other circumstances it ended how it started. But the people around us always knew how I was fond of her. She too knew it.)

Re: what was it that attracted you to him/her when it did?
after A is B. *these ditzy fan girls*
i never wanted to get married. kept postponing indefintely. ultimately mom cried (i can't let mom cry). i had been left much impressed by my would-be-wife's grandfather's overtures (arranged marriage scenario). i decided i wanted his genes and values -- didn't care much for the girl. in the end everything worked out right except that my mom died 2 years after my marriage. no dowry. my wife was a gawking, gangly stick at the time of marriage. yeah, she looks kind of presentable now.
edit. oh yeah, i was the oldest among my siblings and had corresponding responsibilities on my shoulders.

am guessing the gene pool plan worked for you. Also, how old were the two of you then?

i was 28. she was 20/21. she appeared for her BA finals after marriage.
we cannot doctor the gene pool. my wife's grandfather is one of my role models, yes, but my wife inherited the dumbness genes passed down by her grandmother (whom i met only after marriage). and boy was she dumbbbbbbb.![Sad](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_sad.gif)

Re: what was it that attracted you to him/her when it did?
Me too was on the same boat as HK. My wife was too.
But my will was broken when I met my wife. Jaw dropped and I said I have to do something. Approached and talked to her hesitantly. We hit it off at our first meeting itself and never looked back. I still remember what she was wearing that day. She still criticizes that shirt I wore at the first meeting.
We kinda dated for a year and fortunately wife said yes to the knot.
Now it is almost 8 years..wow time flew.

Re: what was it that attracted you to him/her when it did?
reminds me how my bff got married. she was into horoscopes big time, and her dad lost quite a few good suitors coz of this. When this boy came along, he did everything possible to make sure no patrika of his came in. (she still made one base on his dob).
Anyways, they are marwaris. She herself had done her mba, but it was rare to see anyone finish more than 2 years of bcom then. So she jumped at this boy having done his mba from xlri. she was sold.
The boy on the other hand was sick of all the dad's coming in dhoti kurta for a match for their girls. my bff's dad went in a suit. So the boy was sold too.
When they met, someone asked her to get makeup done in a new (for her) city, which turned out horrible. She liked him totally, but totally understood if he didn't. He didn't. But his mom convinced him that the girl is good, her makeup/getup was bad. So they agreed to meet again, and this time she took charge of herself. And he was smitten.
Rest is history. I have not seen a couple with more love and understanding for each other.

Genes have a way of showing up somewhere. My ishara was more towards your boys...now don't go out and take all the credit yourself for them.

ha ha. my marriage was a big event in my wife's house 'cos they were (are) a rich joint family and my wife's was the first marriage in her generation (in fact one of her cousin sister who was the eldest in her generation had been kept-back 'cos her father had wanted a service-class guy. she is now somewhere in texas). anyway, i was nicely, privately dissected by all my salis after the alliance had fructified. and on of their pet peeves/joke was that in the alliance photo that my father had sent to them, the shoelaces of one of my shoes was untied. darn, i never noticed that.
Now it is almost 8 years..wow time flew.
ha ha. it has been 18 years since but seems like yesterday. or maybe day before yesterday.

Yep, this is the kinda answer I was looking for. Specific and to the point. Arranged marriage stories are so much more cuter than love stories, in so many ways.

To this day I can even recall what dresses she wore regularly. She was middle class with a new dress once in a while. In purple or saffron she was dazzling. She had one blue dress without dupatta and she discontinued it after an year or so (too much exposure she thought, methinks). Very homely person, Brahmin and pretty orthodox. I was in late 20s and she was in early-middle 20s. Seeing her manners I always thought how her mom controlled her so good in a big city :-) Definitely would have asked that if I ever met her mom BTW (and got slapped probably). LOL
Never went beyond the Daftar Gam. Me always a good mannered and cool dood you know.
![Laughing](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_lol.gif)
Do not tell anyone but if I ever meet her again (quite unlikely) I will deinitely open my mouth (or just let go and won't even look at her because those eyes will haunt me again)

Re: what was it that attracted you to him/her when it did?
My story begins with a job interview. That morning, I was cursing myself that I had given into the HR girl's entreaties to do an interview at 9 am. That meant waking up earlier than usual, shaving in a hurry, and a more presentable outfit than my regular jeans-t-shirt-chappals. She impressed me a lot -- not just because of her looks. She had correctly answered most my smartass, gotcha questions about programming in the C language. She went on to the next few rounds of interviews, and got an offer the same day. Two days after interviewing her, I was off to Japan for a four month project.
Fast forward six months, I am in the Path station at Hoboken on my way to my client's midtown Manhattan office, about to go through a turnstile. I see a desi girl who's put her ticket in, and is waiting for the turnstile to move forward automatically, instead of pushing it. I recognized her, and helped her out telling that not everything in America happens automatically. (Yeah, I was a bit of a smartass.) Long story short, turns out she had just arrived, and we were both living at company flats in the same apartment block.
We spent evenings hanging out in a group of colleagues, and discovered that we had a lot of common interests. One day we were all doing dinner in her apartment, and I noticed a print-out of The Hindu cryptic crossword half filled out. She was cooking, so I solved the rest of it. Over the next few days, we started spending more time with each other. Stayed up all night talking, and did that for days on end. Waited up all night for the first snowstorm of the season, which was the first time either of us saw snow. Long story short, we were seeing each other before both of us finished our projects and moved back to Hyderabad.
All that was eleven years ago. I still do remember what she was wearing to her interview, and she still claims that I had a little bit of shaving foam under my ear (which is just plain impossible, given that I had showered after shaving.)

I insisted her to finish her Bharatnatyam ( as I have this liking for girls doing BN with long hair) but somehow she lost interest, but she is making sure that our daughter reaches up to Arngteram, she wants to see in our daughter what she can not finish. with god grace daughter has decided no matter what she will reach atleast up to Argetram stage.

reminds me... when K had asked me out the first time, i had refused... he would then say, 'think it over, I will ask in 2 days again'... to which I would say no again.... this went on for about 8 days... then one day i said we would talk on the topmost floor of my friend's building, the floor was vacant.
So we sat there and talked. He tried to tell me we are so good together. I said I am not ready to be with anyone yet. (I had just broken up with my b/f). I think I even began crying and all with all the melodrama. So finally he agreed (in the sense that he didn't bug me through the summer vacation). But anyway, he banged his fist on the stairs when we got up, at which I got scared. Then we got into the 'lift' and he banged his fist on the mirror there, leaving a big crack on it. This time I got really scared.
To this day he insists he didn't hit and break that mirror. Even as my friend recounts the halla the building people had made about it, and she had kept quiet on whodunit. And I had to see that broken mirror for about a week before they replaced it (ah that beautiful age of little miseries). But K still insists he didn't do it coz he doesn't remember.

very old quotes are cool. if said in current context, it sounds rather dumb but in historical context, it sounds profound somehow, like voice of the god. it's the middleages and latter quotes that vex me - voltaire, napolean, assorted WW2 heros, english gasbag statesmen, reagan etc
