They find true love, and I'm still looking! There's something about him, with his cell phone and his constant meddling, that bothers me. I know, he's a new breed of professional here in India, but he annoys me somehow, and I can't quite say why. I hope he and Alice are happy, anyway. I feel like I'm caught between two worlds here. I am agreeing to an arranged marriage, but I'm a modern Indian woman, with a career, a life, friends, a lover, and a family that doesn't seem to understand me at all. I'm not at all sure I understand myself. Why does all of this turmoil have to come now, at this time? It is making me feel as if this whole wedding is a mistake, a farce of old traditions that is no longer valid in my life. But is it? The truth is, I'm afraid. I'm afraid of staying here and stagnating, waiting for Vikram to make a decision I know in my heart he will never make. So, I will go...

I think I am coming to like him, or at least admire him more than I did. Will I be happy with him? I'm not sure, but at least I feel a little more comfortable with him and this marriage. I think he is a kind man, and I think that we will work together to make our marriage a happy one. So, let it rain on my wedding day, it's all right! Together, I hope that Hemant and I can build a life that is just a little bit like mummy and daddy's who have always been there for me. I love them, and I hope I will come to love my new husband, too. No, wait. I know I will come to love my new husband, because I am determined to make this wedding the first day of my new, happy life.
