Finally, I could make it

And at last, I could. After all the hide and seek which project dates play and with a whole lot of other drama, this time I was lucky enough to NOT miss the wedding of a dear friend of mine - Kavnish. Though, the stars tried their best to clash my project dates with Kavnish’s wedding, but ultimately things settled in such a way that I had to leave for Australia on Saturday and Kavnish’s wedding was on the previous Tuesday. Damn! Yet so close! I have already missed the wedding of two of my great friends by a margin of 1 day. On Both occasions I was travelling abroad for official assignments. This time I was in Bangalore but Kavnish was getting married in Delhi, that too on a weekday. In my company, when you are on a project, you don’t get leaves. Still I tried and thankfully managed to convince my bosses that they let me travel to Delhi, as I would continue working from home or Gurgaon office, not letting the work getting affected and also I’ll be able to attend the all so important marriage. Thanks Boss that you agreed and I could make it to the wedding.
Kavnish was one of the coolest guys on that Ghode waala rath and also on stage. We all know of the stud boys who during their wedding night feel that it’s a life time achievement to get married and how much proud their forefathers must be, and that now after this success no one else around is worth a look, let aside words… and they just pose for the camera, most of the times looking at the skyline and not even smiling when u look at them… as if u r an un-invited guest. Hello dude! You were the one who sent me the invitation, I dint come on my own! Anyways. I don’t care for them either. Kavinsh was nothing like that. He was very comfortable and cool-ly talking to other people. He was all smiley and maaroing gappe with us even when he was on that Vijay rath. I like that.
The funniest thing is that these days they make the Dulha and Dulhan stand on a rotating platform at the time of Varmala, so that everyone can see the couple and then the machine showers flower petals on them. Imagine how stupid one would feel presenting garlands, 15 ft above the ground on a rotating platform with 1000 people looking as if the duldha is going to pick the girl and run away from the ceremony!!! Such rotating platforms were last seen in some Rishi Kapoor’s song.
The couple looked good, the food was good. We spend the whole night sitting in Kavnish’s fere. About being interested in fere; even Kavnish wasn’t. He was too sleepy to enjoy the thing. But I thoroughly enjoyed the entire marriage because I met so many friends and I get to dance a lot. I always like places where I get to dance, in my own way - not like the firang night clubs where you have to dance so restrained. Bhangda nahi kiya to kya dance kiya!
All in all a good night, well spent!
Kavnish, thanks for the food...Burrrrp! And all the best for a happy married life.
