Returned from a friend’s wedding today at 5 in the morning and am in no mood to work :)
The marriage was great fun, all Indian marriages are. Good food, friends, music, masti, no tension about deliverables and deadlines, no mails and no long distances to commute make a perfect weekend.
The wedding was quite eventful, atleast for us :) A couple of incidents that I would always remember.
First, we almost missed the train to Dewas. The clock was ticking silently while P was enjoying her tea. And the Taxi ride to BCT would just not come to an end. When we alighted the train, it had almost begun to move!!
Second, was when P went off to sleep after having sold the horses :) and such was her sleep that a crowd gathered outside her room to wake her up. After 11 missed calls and uninterrupted banging on the door she finally woke with a surprised look on her face! What adds excitement to the whole incident is that when one of us standing outside tried to peep in through the ventillator to see if P was alright, he could not se anyone inside and said "andar to koi hai hi nahin" . This was P's claim to overnight fame.
And how could I forget this one!! I was playing the saviour of my friend's shoes. For such an honourable job, I had to face the fury of a big mob of girls !! All captured live on the camera :)
And then it had to be this incident on the journey back home when the TTE made us pay a fine for boarding the train from Indore while our tickets were from Dewas. P and A could not hold their laughter while I dealt with Sutradhar :), the TTE… Am sure P and A would not let this incident of their minds that soon and it would turn out to be my claim to fame :)
And in-between all this we had the wedding and the good food.
Talking about good food, we had the much famous Dal-Bafla of the Malwa region at the wedding. Bafla is a preparation of wheat dough fried/baked and rich in ghee. Though it tastes amazing and I enjoyed hogging the ghee laden delicacy, it is pretty much indigestible for many of us (P happened to be one of them) who belong to the low-carb world. Well as J pointed it out... she was “Baffled” by the “Baflas” :)
