    Story of Armenian-Indian family

    YEREVAN. - Armenia is a second home for ethnic Indian Jeysankar `Jey'
    De, for whom likewise Mount Ararat is of very great importance.

    `I love Ararat very much; I yearn to see Ararat every day,' he says.

    The love story of Armenian botanist and ecologist Lilit Vardanyan and
    microbiologist Jeysankar De started in 2002. They first met in Goa,
    India, where they worked together. But they became more intimate
    during Lilit's last week of stay in India. Lilit returned to Armenia,
    but she kept in touch with Jey over the phone and via Internet.

    Their second meeting was in February 2004. And in December of the same
    year, Jey came to Armenia, met with Lilit's parents, and asked for her
    hand in marriage. Lilit's parents, however, needed some time to accept
    the idea of having an Indian son-in-law. Jey's parents were not
    against having an Armenian daughter-in-law.

    Jeysankar and Lilit have a 7-year-old daughter, Sophie. She does not
    speak Hindi, but she is very fond of Indian dances.

    Sophie's parents have decided not to force her in the matter of
    choosing her religion. They will let her make that choice once she
    becomes an adult.

    Lilit prepares the New Year's table according to Armenian traditions,
    but she always cooks Indian food, too.

    Jey notes that the New Year is celebrated much better in Armenia than in India.
