When the bells toll

This happens once in a lifetime for most of us and a few are blessed not to have it at all.Some have more than once an opportunity to get married not having learnt from the first experience.This is awesome isn't it?

Just take an overview or should I say a sky view of the things that happen in a marriage.The frenzy, the chaos, the bizzare way of blowing money and sending it up in smoke, flowers and sweets and champagne, followed by Music et al..You would always find a close confidant of the bride ,running panic stricken for no reason, dressed to kill.The grooms pal on the other hand is digging for all the pranks possible that they can find to make his life hell.The kids on the block are dressed in the fanciest of clothes just for the day, and create stumbling blocks at times in the alleys and pathways which are flowing with people.The music may be from a shehnai to the latest numbers from Bollywood ,depending upon the mood one wants to create.The caterers start their bit and the aroma of various Indian spices, make their way through the nasal passages  of the people gathered that  they slowly drift towards the spread.The looks on the face of the people show if the sense of smell is deceptive or not.The photographers go blitzkrieg, and since rolls are outdated the digital formats and SD cards give them enough scope to keep exploring all angles.The gifts and bouquets collected can help the bridegroom to start their own florist shop in my opinion.

The traffic jam  one has to wade through to find a parking is the most discouraging entry point for any function.The relations and friends who exchange big smiles are bright enough to save camera flash some time.Some of us meet with that plastic smile pasted on their faces , hullo!!!How are you ?American Accent borrowed for that time with a Tamil or Gujarathi twang .Others start blabbering about their success stories of having their children abroad ( 90% usa, 5% canada, 5% UK).Little do they tell us , how lonely they are with no one besides them.Some parents are shocked when they get to know that their son has already married a "FIRANG"(GATEWAY to green cards et al).The current generation with confused and bored looks try to while away time on Iphones, and whatsup and are oblivious to the surrounding, till the monotony is broken.Wow what a function.................................

One helluva experience.........
