6. Unlike poles attract

"I am a good, god fearing christian" some thing that she used to stress a lot. That was true, she always held her beliefs close. She always had a clear idea what she was and what her limits were. Unlike Aadi who always tried to break limits she was more practical.

Poornima, meant full moon. "She's the closest thing ever to a full moon" Aadi used to say. It was quite right. She was beautiful. 5'5 tall, average weight (may be a little more, but who cares), dark eyes, and had a very beautiful heart.
Aadi remembers an incident where he asked Poornima about the number of children she wishes to have. "4, may be 4+2 with two adopted ones", she replied. Aadi couldn't stop his laughter "and how are you going to feed them dear" mocked Aadi. "When you have mouths to feed, you will find a way" her reply was stern and serious. That was Poornima, when she talk about life she meant business, she never took life lightly.

May be that's because she was brought up like that. As a four year old she flew from Chicago to India. Led a life in boarding schools till the age of fourteen. She waited for summers to be with her parents. She always said about how she misses a life that Aadi enjoyed with his parents. She held an American passport as she was born in Chicago.

While speaking about Poornima there is one person in her life that no one can ignore. Vimal John Varughese, her big brother a democrat(a Bernie Sanders guy). He was her guardian, her father, her mother, her universe. Vimal was just 2 year older than her but he was up there whenever she needed.

Aadi and Poornima were two sides of a coin, contrasting colours,unlike poles . He was Hindu, she was Christian. He was Indian she was American. She lived in the West he lived in the East. Her name meant moon his name meant sun. She was serious and he was light.

You could go on counting difference and if you tell Aadi about all these differences he would say, "Only unlike poles attracts !" .
