Well they say marriages are made in heaven. My marriage was solemnised and from New Delhi I came to Pudukottai. Oh, I was scared, no friends, no relatives, nobody I knew was there. I was a typical Delhi girl, modern, English speaking, active and did not know Tamil. Well marriage changes destiny. I was married to a person who spoke Tamil fluently but hardly conversed in English or Hindi. Well I hardly had any conversation with anyone. So I was always tensed and worried. Whatever my husband would say I would simply assent. Oh, I had a impression that he is a reserved, serious person, so even though I love funm I kept myself to myself.

Then one night, when we were watching the night sky sitting on the roof we saw a white bird flying across the sky. Oh my husband in all earnest and seriousness told me that I was very lucky as I had seen the very rare white crow. Oh I was completely taken aback as I had never in my life heard about white crow. Then we went to sleep. Next morning I was standing by the door, looking at the sky, my father in law came from behind and asked well what are you looking at and I told him, in all my innocence, appa, I am searching for the white crow. My father in law looked at me with a perplexed expression then he asked me what that was, well I told him appa yesterday night how my husband had spoken about the white crow and shown it to me. Well he started laughing and went on his way to the shop. In the evening, I asked my Amma, mother in law about it and poor lady told me dear I have no idea what it is, let venkatesh come I will ask him. Oh in the night at dinner Amma asked him well what is this white crow, she has been asking about it. Immediately both my father in law and my husband started to laugh. Then I realised oh so he has pulled a joke on me. I also realised that though he looks reserved he also was a fun loving person. As they say do not judge a book by its cover. But despite knowing this are we not always judging people by their appearance.
