A day at an Indian wedding

well it seems i have nothing else to do when i go online...no wonder i m writing my third blog within 4 days...that must be a record of sorts for me...didnt go to the office today as i had to attend a wedding...(not mine stupid).

as per the IST u reach 1 hour behind the original scheduled time of 10 am...this is where it all starts...as soon as u enter the wedding hall all attention turns towards u...prospective father-in-laws constantly try to be cosy with u..they try to extract information regarding ur job, salary, education and other things important...if they like the trailer they will try to get ur number from ur parents or some other contact...U feel so frustated that u wish u could tell all the lies in the world (egs. I am the don of my area...I left studies years ago to pursue a career in gundagiri..etc..etc) but u cant... for it may really affect ur future prospects...

moving forward...u sit at some obscure location where there will be few disturbances so that u can calmly chat with ur friends if u have any over there...(it becomes even more difficult if u have none)...u simply wait for some refreshments to be served..juices..samosas..etc. The waiters are constantly roaming around and seem disinterested...some of them can be seen yawning

meanwhile the groom waits in the center(mandap) waiting desperately for this rituals (vidhis) to be over so that he can now enter the happy world of married life...giving him futher trouble are a few photographers and cameramen who constantly advise him on poses and shoot like FBI agents...While all this is happening, the groom's brothers and sisters try to show off their clothes and whatever else they have to display(accessories ....)

suddenly the bride arrives...the paparazzi shifts their attention to her neglecting the groom all of a sudden...The bride enjoyes her moment of undivided attention...the pose advisors among the paparazzi are back as well...

the turn of events become even more intersting if u have a foreigner among the crowd...he will simply look confused ...try to grasp whatever his happening around him and in the center...he even brings a camera to shoot but gets confused in what to shoot...

soon the rituals start and u are now engrossed in the world of mobile games(thanks to the inventor of a cellphone...we always have an alternative)...after sometime u realise that people have started having their lunch..and u also set out for that great Indian wedding lunch...

Now that u have had a good lunch u simply want to lay on ur back and have a nice sleep...but that u cant at the venue so u simply give away the gift that u have brought for the invitor ...say some nice wishes and head back to ur home for a nice afternoon sleep....zzzz.z.zzzz

Have sweet dreams...good zzzz....zzz...zzz
