Happy 13th birthday to us!

11 September 2007 By Avinash Meetoo 24 Comments

Time flies!

Today Christina and I are celebrating our 13th year together. We met on 11 September 1994 at the university of Réunion Island. I was in 2nd year studying Sciences et Structures de la Matière (aka Maths and Physics) and Christina was starting her first year in Lettres Modernes.

This photo was taken on my 21st birthday in a restaurant in Saint-Denis on the 25th of September 1994.

After about one year, we moved to Lyon in France where I finished my studies in Computer Science while she did a Masters in Information and Communications.

Back to Mauritius

We returned to Mauritius in 1998 and started working in January 1999. We managed to save a little bit of money and we got married in January 2000.

By that time, Christina was already working at the University of Mauritius while I was working at the Mauritius Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

Anya was born in 2002 shortly followed by Kyan in 2004. I joined the University of Mauritius shortly after.

Today, Anya is 5 years old and she is going to start primary school in a few months. Kyan is a strong 3 years old boy.

Christina and I feel exactly the same as we felt in 1994. We might be a little older physically but we have not changed a lot in our heads… That’s cool!

What next?

Great things! Stay tuned :-)

    Happy Anniversary, Christina & Avinash!

    You pointed on something EXTREMELY important: you DID NOT CHANGE IN YOUR HEADS.

    I give you as example, so if sometimes you have hiccups, well, you can blame on me … :-D

    My intuition was great regarding you two, and I will never forget your honesty from the very beginning of our encounter … ;-)

    All the best to you four and to those who stood by you in all this.

    No way. By coincidence, Christina and I were teasing the kids yesterday by asking them if they wanted a little brother or sister and they both said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :-)

    Happy anniversary to you sir
    at least 11 september is a day to celebrate for someone.Wish you all the best…
    Besides…is that you on the photo??
    Surely, you must have use a photo editing software…like “salon styler pro”….lol(just kidding sa)
    It would have difficult to recognise you given that there are many differences between then and now…its amazing how 13 years can change a person…even i wondered how will i look later.

    Well congratulation to you and your wife

    Happy anniversary. When I first saw the picture I decided to comment on the haircut :-). I see that others have preceded me on that. I’m currently in UK since 3 weeks so “forgot” to visit your blog.

    Best wishes for the next 50 years to you two.

    To iterate is human, to recurse is divine! Were you recursing?

  24. Avinash Meetoo says

    2 October 2012 at 09:04

    Doing recursion,why?

    In fact, this post dates from 2007 and, five years later, we have just celebrated our 18 years together. And everything is still the same as it was in 1994. Life is cool :-)
