My classmate's wedding...

Well... after a looong time I got to attend the 'muhurtham' of a classmate's wedding. Else its usually been only Receptions that I attend, after working hours-where all guests take turns to pose next to the newly-wed couple for photos and video(Really boring!).

This was a very different experience as the bride was of my age and my perspective of witnessing the wedding was different from what it had been from the past. Now I can understand many of the rituals in the wedding and how much responsibility the whole event comes along with...

Being a girl I do understand that the whole idea of leaving the household one grew up in, to move into an entirely new family does shake one up and takes an effort to accustom oneself to it. But what I saw showed the gravity of it all... The bride started growing a li'l dull in the face when her gothram was changed... eventually there was a steady stream of tears flowing from her eyes when the mangalsutra was tied. This led to the shedding of tears by her parents and her younger brother too. Well, the groom was smart enough to offer her a chewing gum to soothe her. It worked :)

It led me to think that I'd probably be facing the same situation some time in life. Yet I also wonder if this is how every girl will take it...

Let me witness some more weddings - will investigate on this psychology, rather 'emotinal attack' and update u guys ;)

11. The men who never make the first move, automatically lose interest in us when we take the initiative.

PS: This is a fwd I came across - found it true :)

What do guys think of gals?

1. "Are we out of girls who have a mind of their own and are self confident enough to wear a salwar suit because they want to , even if the girls around her go around looking like vamps in their haltar tops and mid riff exposing jeans?"

This is something I read from another blog - of a guy of around my age...

How many guys actually feel this? I know a lot of guys who say this but I am sure they will be more than willing to roam around the streets of Bangalore every other weekend to have a 'visual treat' rather than catching up with friends and go for a normal kinda entertainment - like watching movies etc.

Girlfriends are girlfriends - come what may.
Define girlfriend: Stick thin, straightened/lousy hair, least clothes, a shopping maniac, always on the phone, laughs loudly in a screeching voice, exists as a hand-holding stand - is this either because the guy/gal is not nourished enough, to keep his/her hands in a normal physiological position?

How many guys will actually consider a self-confident, focussed, decently dressed, overall - not 'a hot chick' gal, a viable option for a girlfriend?

Girlfriend bhujhaye sirf pyaas - baaki sab bakwaas!

2. Matrimonial Ad

Bride Wanted - Tall, slim, very fair, very beautiful, confident, easy going, fun loving, traditional in upbringing, yet modern in outlook. Telent in music and dance will be very much appreciated! Should hold professional qualification (preferably PG). Should be willing to work in the US/be a housewife(in my village). Must blend with my family instantly! (Arey bhai, ladki bhi koi instant coffee hai kya?!)

Groom's brother/friend promises - You must be very lucky to marry this guy! Truly one of his kind!

Baah!

Do I need to write further?

PS: I did a Google Search on 'homely indian lady' and this is what I got:

You've got a wicked sense of humor. You're everyone's favorite IM buddy... at least today!

What Emoticon Best Represents You Right Now?

My friend's getting married!!

This is the first time a friend (of around my age) of mine is getting married... I'm all excited about it, of course! :)

A girl whom I met last year, was roomies with... known her as an extremely fun-loving, bubbly, interesting and one with a 'child-like' persona ;) (imagine... she can lick any amount of sauce at any time of the day, he he ;)) ... is getting married in a few months from now!

Nevertheless, its rather strange-this feeling... Have we really grown that old?!!
I still remember the days when I used to whine to go to college... wait for pocket money for the month... write assignments... wonder what chapters to study and omit the rest-all on the day b4 the exam ;) planning what to study further... and so on...

Well, looks like we've to reconcile to the fact that we're of marriagable age now! All of a sudden our moms start hinting on how we look (lose weight if we're fat and put on kilos if we're thin), enriching our knowledge about relatives of whose existence we never knew... they start giving special tips on how to behave in front of elders etc...

It feels like just a few months back that we discussed about how apprehensive we were about 'arranged marriages' - the part of not knowing the guy whom u gonna spend the rest of ur life with... though we all believed that's the best way to get married... And now she says its not so strange after all, she has gotten to know 'the man of her life' pretty well! :) kudos to u girl! I'm so happy for u!

Hope the 'Deep**' brings more 'light' to ur life buddy!!! :)

PS: I shall always remember u and Hyderabad as an entity :) u've made it second home for me!
