"She's unmarried, I'm married but that's never changed anything between us. In fact, she's made me travel with her pretty much all over the world so I'm not complaining! Oh, the things we've seen and the places we've gone--you can't imagine! We're still as crazy together-- don't let our age fool you!" — with Heli Dhanki Heli & Jenny

"We've been friends for over 30 years now. We live close by, celebrate our festivals together and even send our children to the same school. We obviously don't make a lot of money, so there are days when I've had a bad work day and he'll help me out with money or I'll do the same for him."

"When was the last time that happened?"

"Right now... in fact we just finished sharing something. Our children are giving their exams this week and money is a little tight, so instead of having a cup of tea each, we've been sharing one cup these past few days...and it doesn't feel so bad."

“We’ve been friends for 30 years -- we retired together and have been travelling, causing mischief wherever we go ever since! We’re pretty carefree -our wives haven’t retired yet, they’re both still working and we’re both happily chilling...it's all good!” — with Jagrit Pratap Singh and PraVesh RaThee

“What’s beautiful about our family is that we all respect each other’s decisions and accept them without trying to change anyone. The love we have for each other transcends our choices —that’s why we’re happy about our older son’s decision to move abroad, even though we miss him terribly, or our younger son’s decision to get married only once he crossed 40. All these things seem small, when you put love above everything else because looking back, I can tell you that the only constant has been love.

We’ve moved houses, gone from being young parents to 70 year oldies who enjoy nothing more than a good evening walk. the fact that he still looks at me the way he did 40 years ago and it still gives me butterflies! Accepting the ones who matter, just the way the are and not agreeing on everything, but loving them just the same, anyway.”

Anand & Neelu
