There is something about Sarees, not
that I am very fond of wearing them, but whenever I do I feel awesome. Maybe
cause I am an Indian. Draping saree is an art for sure. It does take time but
once you are done, I feel it worth all of that.
I was at the wedding taking pictures
along with my colleagues Sherlee and Sadhana there were few others but this
time I felt to just hang out along with these two girls. We moved in to the
brides dressing room, Sunita was all dressed up in red and white Bengali bridal
Saree, with classic eye makeup and huge red bindi.
She was having sips of juice with a
straw, when she saw us she was more than amazed She hugged sherlee and the it
was my turn. I complemented her “You look gorgeous, I never knew you are
Bengali, until today” . She answered “Actually my Mom’s Bengali dad is from
Karnataka so I had flavours of both.” Soon there was lots of buzz as the groom
party had arrived in the central hall and the ladies started making a Ulu dhwani, its all hard to explain
but treat to watch the customs. while the bride was carried towards the central hall by all her cousins.
While sunita was asked to join the
groom we took more selfie and chatting with other guest/ relatives of Sunita. I
did worry for a while about sunita thinking how would she manage everything at
this young age and at the beggining of her married life. Then I gave another thought
that I definitely cannot do anything about their life, so better I focus on
whatever is going on in my life.
I really enjoyed the food and wedding, we all
even had a nice DJ dance party at the end, before all the guest could leave. On my way
back I choose to call my dad to take me home it was very late night, and I was
getting too much attention from my fellow colleagues most of them showing
concern on dropping me home. & Its tough to say yes to one person when you have another standing next to him who has already come up to you with same help.
I was waiting and chitchatting with
Sherlee she said “my boyfriend is about to come, when will uncle come?” I said
“any moment he messeged me a while ago that he has started from home.” Soon his
boyfriend appeared on a bike they hugged each other and sherlee introduced him
to me, I learnt that they both were college buddies. This reminded me of Sumit.
However, I just let go of my thoughts and started mingling with Sunny,
Sherlee’s boyfriend he was little shorter than sherlee but very friendly and
funny at the same time. My phone rang as I checked it was inside my purse and
picked it, it was my dad and he asked me to come to main entrance. We three
moved to the entrance where I took leave from both and joined dad to leave
home.
I got into the car and dad asked “how was the
wedding?” I answered “It was amazing, I am happy that I got to attend a Bengali
wedding”. Dad continued “Nice to hear that, by the way mom was trying to call
you around an hour back you didn’t receive the call” checking my phone I said
really then I found there was 2 missed calls one from mom another from Sanskar.
There was also another message “Are you free, can I call ” dated yesterday I
wondered How come I dint check this one and then I realized I have turned off
all the notifications. I gave a pat on my forehead. And dad asked “what
happened?” I said “Nothing papa, some settings in my phone.”
