I am in NCR <!!cough Faridabad!!> today for the weekend.
Coming back home after staying in mumbai for a month and a half feels good.. hmmm.. :)
My brother (not cousin, please mind!) is getting engaged; (as you know) and we have come to attend the event with supply of Butter popcorn :D
My brother (the wise one, who is not getting married ;)) came to pick Ambuj & me from the airport. On the way he brought us up to speed, with whats going on, who is off their rocker with stress overload, who has been bitching about things (me), who is missing in action etc.
We are one big fat Marwari (joint) family; some drama is expected, heck! some drama is eagerly anticipated.
I might sound very mean saying this, but i am sure there will come that moment when the nerves will start fraying because someone in the family will accidentally say something that will cause "Vehem" about the auspicious occasion- it always happens (but its never ever funny)
We are already betting on who will break under duress first; you see we already have some updates that may cause awkwardness..
Today we laughed and pranced, got mehndi on our hands and kickstarted the weekend long celebrations.
My bet is on my mom and my chachi, they will be the first ones to go bonkers with stress; they will also the ones working hardest given the shaadi is their baby (or the groom is) >:)
My brother gives a disdainful pause, and then places a bet on my mom & the groom ;)
May the best woman win! :B

Enjoy :). Also this post reminded me of a Marwari I dated briefly, during a lapse of judgment. Absolutely not being racist here ;)
ReplyDeleteOh dont worry, my only rule for dating was: do not date a marwari :)
