joya

I got married to her on May 9, 1983. I am grateful.

She married without meeting me. I did not meet any of their family before the marriage One of her aunt's husband met me on a sunday afternoon briefly, I was napping in Chandra's place.

My marriage was attended by ritadi joseph and my relation. chhorda made all arrangement for the feast called baubhat and was attended by all the teachers and friends in ISI.

Joya did not like me at all. She regrets to this day for marrying me. She has not left me. I can only tell about present - i do not know future.

i do not do regular job, even when i do, i am at home. she provide home childcare when in usa against my wishes. i am not significant anymore. children in her care those who come to her at very young age they become my friends. i spend lot of time playing with them.

she is deeply attached to her family. she spend most hours of day and night with her family using many modern telecommunication devices. she is interested in craft and art. she spends some of her time in doing that. i often assist her in her work. she watches bengali film serials over internet all the time.

My daughter was born in February 1984. My son was born in June 1988. They have no inclination to be in india especially in kolkata ever. while she cannot live even moments away from family. she has got a flat in kolkata from 2005 or earlier but not lived there. we are short of space with her business at home; sometimes extending to very late hours or even overnight. I do not wish to be in touch with her family. they have been lot of disturbance to me. i sincerely hope it ends just now.

Joya does not like my relations or my friends ever since my marriage. i do not like her family. i do not like her business at home. she is tired and sick but she would not ever refuse an opportunity to earn a single penny. this money is her future. she wishes to retire in kolkata. i wonder when. she by now accumulated lot of money since all the expenses taxes for her business is borne by me. she also gets $500 from social security. she has a flat in kolkata.  it is time for her to retire and relax. more money cannot buy her more security or more comfort. she is unable to take the stress of earning money anymore.

she is physically exhausted and abusive all the time; she is unable to take the strain. she has lot of physical pain. i love her as she is. i am grateful to her. she had come here in February from kolkata. she is going to kolkata for her niece marriage next week. i wish she does not return soon. she needs the vacation.

did i know when i decided to marry that i would be marrying someone unknown who would remain unknown for all time
