A few years back, I looked at a picture of Kakslauttenen arctic resort and their glass igloos and hoped that sometime in life, I would be able to stay there. To lie on a hotel bed while Aurora borealis did it's thing outside my ceiling was a dream. And having Saurav on the bed next to me was a part of that dream. It was him who first told me what the Northern Lights are, and how he wants to see them with me. I don't know which part of the past month is more surreal-- we got married, and it was a beautiful couple of ceremonies. I stayed with him and his parents for over a week and got to know my new, wonderful family. And then we came to Finland for our honeymoon. This is definitely a changeover from the past 20 years when Hyderabad was the only thing that was real to me.
Ivalo is so picturesque that it feels like I'm watching a beautiful movie on a screen, until I step outside the indoors into the biting cold of -14 degrees Celsius.
I'm looking around right now and realising JUST HOW LUCKY I AM, from inside and out of the very same igloo that was once just a dream.
Really, anything is possible.
