Love Is Precious!!

Priya married Hitesh this day. At the end of the wedding party,
Priya's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook, with
Rs.1000 deposit amount.

Mother: Priya, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your
marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in
your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to
the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put
in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh.
When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've
had.'

Priya shared this with Hitesh when getting home. They both thought it
was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can
be made. This was what they did after certain time:

- 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Hitesh after marriage
- 1 Mar: Rs.300, salary raise for Priya
- 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali
- 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Priya got pregnant
- 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Hitesh got promoted
.... and so on...
However, after years, they started fighting and arguing for trivial
things. They didn't talk much. They regretted that they had married
the most nasty people in the world.... no more love...

Kind of typical nowadays, huh?
One day Priya talked to her Mother:
'Mom, we can't stand it anymore. We agree to divorce. I can't imagine
how I decided to marry this guy!!!'
Mother: 'Sure, girl, that's no big deal. Just do whatever you want if
you really can't stand it. But before that, do one thing first.
Remember the saving passbook I gave you on your wedding day? Take out
all money and spend it first. You shouldn't keep any record of such a
poor marriage.'

Priya thought it was true. So she went to the bank, waiting at the
queue and planning to cancel the account.
While she was waiting, she took a look at the passbook record. She
looked, and looked, and looked.
Then the memory of all the previous joy and happiness just came up her
mind. Her eyes were then filled with tears. She left and went home.

When she was home, she handed the passbook to Hitesh, asked him to
spend the money before getting divorce. The next day, Hitesh gave the
passbook back to Priya. She found a new deposit of Rs.5000. And a line
next to the record :

'This is the day I notice how much I've loved you through out all
these years How much happiness you've brought me.'
They hugged and cried, putting the passbook back to the safe.
Do you know how much money they had saved when they retired? I did not
ask. I believe the money did not matter any more after they had gone
through all the good years in their life.

Instead see the place from where you slipped.
Life is about correcting mistakes."
