Today I had to attend a usual cliched marrige. When i got there i was, not so surprisingly, suffering the usual predicament: unknown people, mom introducing me to infinte amount of old people who could barely recognise me but were hyperexcited nonetheless, etc. One strange thing about the entire setup was the mass quantity of Nehru topi clad men, a little snooping around and it was revieled to me that the girl's dad was local politician. Hmmmm.... that explains!!! No wonder immediately after the garlands were exchanged these guys made a run to the food section and picked prime seats in the pangat . Losers!!!
Nways, even though i hate politicians more than marraiges this is not the time or place to discuss them. Ok to continue my story, so i went on to the stage met the couple, cracked my usual jokes about newly married couples, et al. Down from there, i made a run for the food section ;) (hey thats the only interesting thing to do in such occasions). The plan was to have a quick lunch and get out of the place but plans are meant to be thwarted and thats what my mom did. She met a few other ladies she knew and they decided to chat till eternity.
Finally after hours of prompting and making funny noises and faces my mom took the hint. Thankfuly after that we had a quick lunch, congratulated the parents, the couples and other hordes of people how directly or indirectly influenced the marraige and made a run.......
A not so interesting expedition finally came to an end after 3 hrs...
Long live the tradition of marraiges.....
