#117 …when you don’t care what other people think about the two of you.

When Amitabh told us about his growing feelings for Jaya, we couldn’t help mocking the pair they would make if she accepts his proposal. Amitabh was just a little short to 6.3 feet and Jaya barely 5. We suggested he stop thinking about her and look for better babes, a little taller. He was not to be disdained. We decided to lurk behind when he was to make his proposal, in case he needed shoulders to lean on after the rejection. But it was not to be so. After a little hesitation, she accepted it. Later in life when we asked Jaya about what made her readily accept the proposal, she smiled and answered, “What I liked most was that he was not concerned about what people would think about us. He prioritized his feelings. This became an asset of our married life.”
