was a long hiatus!!!

Well...last few days have been so pleasurable for me...remarkable memories for lifetime..got heat stroke...my tummy was in its own sweet trip & it accepted only the entry of some porridges & buttermilk...had some fights with my family....some of my plants dried as they were not feeded properly...my whole house was kind of upside down...my favourite place - my kitchen was full of pigeon's feathers(there is a couple residing just outside our kitchen's window..the irony is the window does not lock)...my wardrobe was totally messed...but but but I was in my perfect form.
By perfect form I mean ..after a number of sessions in the parlour & number of rounds to the boutique, I was all set ready for the long awaited wedding.A perfect Yashraj film's love story...n then this angelic inseperableness of two merry souls...for the first time in my life I witnessed a story which made me beleive number of philosophies of life..
If you have the perseverance to achieve anything under the sun...you are almost there..
When you face thousands of trouble on the way...it means you are actually approaching towards your goal..& it means your goal is worth it..
If you want to be successful in a relationship...its you who have to work on it...just cannot wait for your partner to do that.
Faith has to do with things that are not seen,& hope with things that are not in hand.

Why am I suddenly being so philosophical?? I know many would not agree with my views..but trust me ..after being part of this marraige ceremony, I do beleive that fairy tales exist & there are still noble souls in the world.

Fine...its time I should stop sharing my ideologies & should get to the point. Well the point is I was fortunate enough to be a part of this..on the one hand - pious & serene..on the other hand - enjoyable, entertaining(at every moment), lively celebration..celebration of togetherness.

Luckily it was an Indian ethnic "Punjabi" vs "Sikh" wedding..the groom being abroad returned punjabi 'munda' & the bride being a perfect Sikhni(except the fact she was not from Bhatinda).This was my first experience of attending a Punjabi wedding. Well the journey started from the ring ceremony till the reception.The season at this time is at its peak of sun. Still I dont think it affected the fun loving Punjabis even a little bit. From the clothes to the make up to the jewellery to the choice of food items, amount of booze, & finally the amount of crazy dancing - nothing could justify the boiling heat of the season.
I used to think this problem of speaking Bengali in a public place with your friend who is a bengali & assuming that everybody present there would understand is only with bengalis....well I was wrong..all the aunties would assume that I am a punjabi girl & would understand the language & then there is no turning back...they would crack jokes & expect me to giggle(typical girlie giggle), they would tell me stories about some other weddings & would expect me to react, they would ask me to do things like getting them cold drink , or water or may be a juice in hard core punjabi( what if I get them a glass of vodka???considering the fact they are cool as booze is being served openly & I have seen some females having it)but they would just not consider that I might not understand the language...well thats about the language barriers..now comes the hilarious part , all the aunties there are on bride hunt for there abroad settled handsome sons & they would discuss such a thing openly on my & my friend's face.They would just assume that we are all set & dying to marry there sons...Now comes the dancing ...aunties would kill you with there compliments & then they would drag you to the dance floor & they will dance with you ( I have a feeling that its because they themselves want to dance like crazy )...well they would always be overly dressed but trust me they have this quality of carrying extravagant outfits beautifully...well food is there second love after dance..it feels they beleive in eat, pray , love "khao pio aish karo mitro" which literally mean eat & drink like a crazy & lead a merry & luxurious life.
Saying all that about aunties I would say that I loved to be around them, learnt a lot from them how to move my fat belly with no rhythm & in any music..how to make use of all the available resources around you...how to check every girl & imagine her as your daughter in-law.. how to feel that every wedding ceremony is your own wedding(considering there enormous wardrobe)... In short I learnt how to live life in everyday & every ocassion...its like they celebrate life with every ceremony.

I guess I am getting distracted from the main topic...the protagonists are the bride & the groom..well the fact is there were actually so many colourful & lively things which kept distracting me from the hero & the heroine of the movie. This marraige is the result of years of hardwork.In our Indian society when two people decide to be together for the lifetime they need to ask for the permissions & approvals from the world.So the protagonists of my movie also had to do the same....they had undergone unimaginable stress & turmoil to reach this day..now with years of perseverance they came together finally with the world's approval. Talking about the hero of my movie ....have you seen in real life a groom performing on an item number in the 'Mehendi ceremony' of the bride??? I bet nobody would have witnessed that...this is the level of satisfaction, feeling of completeness the hero of my flick had..he performed for his bride....& wow what a memorable performance it was!!! Now the heroine is the strongest point of the story...she was the one who never had the attitude "Let it be"..ever if there was a problem which made the relationship a little weak ...she would work on it till the time everything was perfect & she again gained the confidence that YES I will marry him!!! I never heard a bride screaming loud in her wedding "I AM VERY HAPPY I AM GETTING MARRIED"

The day was perfect with sun over the head...a perfect sunshine...it was the day when they walked the aisle to be together forever & after.We could hear the wedding chime....It was like the best piece of music...the purest one. Now they are together for "ALWAYS"...

The series of ceremonies ended with the reception which ended with most beautiful performance I have ever seen in real life .....my movie has a very happy ending as I said a perfect Yashraj film " the couple dance crazily with all there heart & soul dancing all around to glory "

I feel genuinely clear in head about relationships which off lately was all messed up. Now its a sunny & merry sight for me all over again. I know fairy tales are real at times ..you just need to put your heart & soul into it & the almighty would shower His blessings.

All my heartiest Congratulations, goodluck to the newly, happily wed couple. Cheers to there togetherness everafter!!!
