I reached well ahead of time so thought to roam at the new airport(for me it was new as I was boarding for the first time). Just then I saw the well established Bar at the Airport so could not resist my thirst and bought a beer to kill some time and for "TASHAN" :)
I was sipping beer and watching passengers, thats my best time pass trust me. I enjoy this a lot. Somehow I killed some time then it was only half an hr in boarding so thought to get up and go to washroom. Then Suddenly I came across an old college friend who was also heading towards home, he has to attend his own Wedding :-) and I had to attend my brother's Wedding, yes real elder brother.
So one more beer session for Friendship, sorry can't help it, a quick one actually bcoz boarding was going to start in few minutes. Our college days got refreshed, actually we both had lots of drinks together during college. Sorry forgot to intoduce him, 'Kaushal'. We both had a good time in the flight, thankfully it was on time. Kausahl was very tensed actually, please dont get him wrong, he was tensed coz he had to catch a bus to his nativeat 11 and we were landing at jaiur at 10:30. I dint get a chance to ask him whether he managed to catch the bus or not.
So I was at Jaipur. My brother was there to recieve me. Next day was busy doing shopping and in the night I had to catch a bus to my home but I was not tensed coz I had plenty of time. Finally I reahed home in the morning.
Mom & Dad was at the gate to greet us and I was going crazy to see them. I was happy coz I was seeing mom after a long time as well as sad coz she was wearing a Coller(Due to sarvical Pain), she was looking tired.
Now onwards wedding peparation starts. Sunday was "Janew ceremony", a must ritual in Hindus. Was well done with lots of relatives coming and giving there wishes/blessings. It was fun actually. We both were having it at the same time.
In the evening we had some puja at home and small Sangeet. Sangeet was a great fun. Danced a lot. But I was also worried for Mom, coz she was dancing with that coller. Evening was great fun.
Then came the night which scared me. Mom danced a lot in the evening and now she was having a terrible pain. She was crying with the pain so do I. I was holding his head and was trying to make her calm, finally we had to give her injection. I was speechless, dint know how ill she was. She also had a pneumonia attack and was hospitalized for a week. I was weeping silently that I can't help her. Some how the pain was relieved and she slept.
From next day onwards it was my duty to stop her from doing any exertion. Trust me its really hard to control her, she was always ready to dance and taking up the things in her hand. But I understand her part also, She has waited for the day since long. She used to get emotional in a day 3, 4 times that I am not able to do anything in my son's wedding. so it was all in my hand to make the things happen in her way so that she won't feel bad. Anyhow I had done most of her shopping from Bangalore as she likes my choice always but still there were lots of things to do.
Then relatives start pouring in. daily we had some function. Finally the Sangeet Day arrived. Everyone was in high spirits. We danced like anything in the evening and yes Mom was irresistable :). We also had Dandia. It was great fun. By the grace of God she was feeling well.
Then came the D day, yes the Wedding day. In the morning Ring Ceremony was there. It was also cool nothing to tell much. ya one important thing this was the first time I met with my Bhabi.
Evening came and everybody was looking great in their respective outfits. Best part was everything was on time thats why my father was happy. To make both of them(Mom and Dad) satisfied is really tuff. Both have their own ways. But I managed to do that. Thumbs up for me :)
As usual we danced a lot in Barat. Fire crackers,music it was a great pomp and show. We reached at the venue well on time. Then we have all the ceremonies like Ribbon cutting, jaymala,dance and all.
It was a huge gethering, all the respected people from the city were present. Doctors, CA, advocates, officers. Was really good to see all the people. Everyone was happy seeing the preparations and was praising us. Mom & Dad were really happy, on the seventh sky afterall all their hardwork and preparations was successful and me too after seeing them happy.
Mom again started dancing, this lady really drove me crazy yar, the more I was trying to stop her more she was dancing. She was unstoppable and I was worried If she'll have pain then it would be very difficult for all of us anyhow I was carrying an injection with me in case of uncontrollable pain.
So wedding was great. Finally we brought Bhabi to her new home. She was also very excited and happy as everyone was pouring love on her.
So with all wishes of nears and dears the event was great and I was also relieved as everything was done peacefully and Mom & Dad were happy.
I wish the new couple a very happy and rocking married life and wish Mom will keep well.
Love,
Mayank
