Wedding Musings!!

Phew! What a past week it’s been. Even if I try to, I can’t describe how the wedding went. (Don’t I say this about everything?! Nice way of saying “I am a shitty writer, can’t write. The experience was OK, but I can’t seem to get the right words to write about it, so let’s just say the experience was indescribable!)

 

Anyways, I did dance, though I didn’t perform. Fair enough. Dancing like crazy in the baraat with the entire extended family watching was performance enough for me, thank you.

Nobody believed I was my bhai’s real sister. Apart from the fact that we look alike, we have nothing in common. He is the life of every party; I could not go to a party and have people come and tell me the next day I was looking good at the party! He dances like Abhishek Bachchan; I had a crush on Abhishek Bachchan! And I dance like..umm..I don’t dance! He talks with everyone; out of the 400 people I know/know of that attended the ceremonies, I spoke to 10, including my bhai-bhabhi-ma-pa! Everyone loves him; it pains me to write the second half of this statement.

No matter how hard I try to look good, standing next to 2 stunning-looking sisters just never works right! For my own wedding, sisters will not be welcome. Brothers I love! *muah* and “Wazzzaaa” to you guys!

I remember talking to one of my aunts and telling her how surprised I was that it had been a week since I arrived, and all the hectic shopping and the shaadi food didn’t take its toll on me. 2 days into making that statement and I was down with the flu. Nice! All my plans of bonding with the new couple had to be thwarted. It was either that, or all plans of my brother for a cozy, romantic honeymoon would have been unable to see the light of day. I sacrificed, for my own sake. Else, as G.O.N. pointed out, my brother would have ordered for not only Dutch tulips, but also stocks of the Anthrax spores, especially for my honeymoon! Which would be sad, considering that I am sure it would be the only time my husband would be able to get lazy-me to do anything!

After devouring channel V and MTV and HBO, I decided it was time to have a look at what’s happening in India. So, I tuned into the news channels day before. This is what I learnt from Zee News, Aaj Tak, Star News and Headlines Today, respectively; it was Katrina Kaif’s birthday, she received a diamond bracelet from Salman Khan as a gift, there was a party at Salman’s place at midnight, and Aamir Khan showed up at that party (without a gift) to wish Katrina. 

 

This is what I missed! This is what I came back for! Am I glad to be back!
