Amit's Marriage

Amit’s marriage has been coool.. nothing to complain about. I assume that u r interested in full story and here I go..

We ( me, A and K ) reached Abad by car on 16thJan ( M was on 20th). Only a few relatives were present.

I assumed role of a good father and looked only after K. who-would-wear-what-on-which-day’s decision was left to ss. That is the best bet, ( I know it after 5 years of marriage )to avoid any confusion during ceremonies. So I had no work at all related to M. A was left to do everything that a sister would want to do in bro’s M. Thus past 16th, 17thand 18th. On 16thitself we ( me, Amit, ssr and two more brother’s of Amit ) been to Raymond’s shop to select dresses/suits for Amit. I played a full role of selecting/rejecting for him… I never do it for myself, neither I have any interest…. But here was a special case… maza paisa pan jaat navata, mala to dress ghalayacha pan navata ani I had whole world’s time to pass…

On 19thafternoon we left in a bus to A’nagar where shaadii. Aai baba came to abad just before we left and then they joined us in bus. In bus also I played part of looking after K. it is lot better than ‘naav ghyaa’, ‘gaaNa mhanaa’ that was going on in the rear seats… :). In further text I m not going to write that I was only looking after K. Assume that, that was what I did whole time unless mentioned otherwise.. :D

We had dinner in the kaaryaalaya. Nice food. But this made sure that the ceremony started only at 10pm and lasted till sometime 2 in the morning… Kapil slept at 1030 and me at 1am..

Next day, we had a unforeseen problem… the karyalaya was very near to the area of ppl who celebrate moharram and it was moharram’s day… boy… the road was going to be blocked for vehicles after 2pm. So all prorammes were fast-tracked, pangatii were done while bride and groom still undergoing marriage rituals. All went fine. I danced when groom went to maaruutii…

We left to abad shortly after 2. been to DeogaD, a religious place which hosts Datta… spent some time there. Bhaktas took darshan. And some enthu ppl took a ride in boat. Then we stopped in a hotel ( this was planned) and had dinner. And then bck to Abad, where all of the ppl were booked in a hotel. This hotel was more of a bunch of rooms, normally given on rent to school-trips or sport-persons for districh/state level events. A room capable of  holding 5 people with attached wc/bath. But it was goo and clean. And being whole building occupied by one varhaaD, it was nice. No one else but only marriage party.  There was arrangement of baasundii before bed-time.

Next day, all satyanarayan etc were planned ( i do not mention this in details, u know it. And I need not mention what part I was playing… :D) . and then reception in nite. There was an orchestra who sung hindi/marathi songs. I ws wearing full suit as planned by ss, so I did not dance. Ppl would have called me to dance, but I was dining when time came to dance. So I m saved. I cant imagine dancing in trouser, blazer and tie… phew.... reception went on till 1am. Then bed-time.

Next day at 1130am we left abad to be back to pune.
