We all fall in love, but how far are we truly willing to go to keep that love in our lives?Here is a story that will make you wonder how is it possible for two people from completely different backgrounds to establish a bond of love and understanding. The unusual couple, Adriana and Mukesh,met on Facebook. As they continued to talk, they got close and bonded really well. Mukesh fell in love with Adriana and confessed this to her, (of course, in his not so fluent English). When he was persistent, Adriana flew down to India despite all the words of caution she got at home, suggesting he could be fake or acon man, etc.But it just took one sight of the young man, who is a graduate in mass communication, outside the Indira Gandhi Airport for Adriana to make that life changing decision, and in a very traditional Indian ceremony, she married Mukesh. There was a time when there was an American woman who loved to party, wear dresses and halter tops, step out in her heels, sip martinis and enjoy socialising. Nothing about this sounds out of place, right?One look at her prince charming, and the same woman ditched it all to don salwar-kameez, wear sindoor and a mangalsutra,and to cover her head with a pallu at all times. Adriana showed an astounding transformation in just a few months of hermarriage. She now lives with Mukesh, andhis family in Popran village in the Karnal District of Haryana. She takes care of daily chores in her home, like sweeping the mud floor, cooking on a traditional stove, washing vessels and taking care ofher in-laws and husband. She also takes out time to work at the farm with her husband. And like any other woman in thevillage, she also spends a good part of her time making cake pats from cow dung. It was indeed difficult for Adriana, to settle down in the rural part of India. In California, she partied and enjoyed the American lifestyle, she loved shopping with her 25-year-old daughter and spending time with her grandchildren. Adriana, who worked as a receptionist in an acupuncture clinic back home, decided to change her lifestyle for her husband. She swapped that life to get accustomed to communal toilets and tinyshower enclosures.Adriana was quoted confessing, “At first itwas a real struggle, but soon you realise you dont need a fancy toilet or power shower to be happy.” She further adds, “I love my life here with Mukesh - I wouldntexchange it for anything in the world.”
