Today I met Ronak... Its after a month that i met her... with these classes and studies at times its difficult even to meet close friends especially if they live in a different part of Delhi.... The converstaion was very light... its very difficult to find people with whom you can stike a light conversation... a kind of conversation which is light yet interesting, where you can just vent out your thoughts, and the person too does the same.... i have been lucky in this case to have a few frens with whom i can do this.... they are not with me at the moment... but thanks to Alexander Graham Bell... they are ACTUALLY JUST A CALL AWAY... :P


Next month my cousin will get married.... Marriage i think world over is such an occassion which brings with it a lot of happiness, satisfaction for parents(especially if they are Indian parents and are "so called lucky" that even in TODAY'S TIME THEIR CHILDREN ARE MARRYING SOME ONE OF THEIR CHOICE).... dreams, expectations, excitement and anxiety for both the families and more importantly for those who are getting married....

What really attracts me is the way in which things are done.... the old trunks are opened and few precious hand woven sarees... o sarees which was passed through several generations is passed over to the next.... When it comes to the bride's family... its exciting to see them shop not only for their daughter but also for her in - laws and other members of her future family.... Today i came to know a very interesting thing.... the gal's parents gift a suitcase full of sarees to her mother in law..... along with sarees matching bindis and sindoor case few toys are also kept in her suitcase..... it seems this was done in the past when child marriage took place, so that the child bride could be entertained with it one's she starts crying in her new house(of course grown ups like us will cry forget about the poor childbride...).......... child marriages have largely declined yet this tradition continues.... i guess who will use those toys... of course my cousin's mother in law has better ways of appeasing my sister one's she feels home sick....

Marriage also brings a fair amount of sadness in a bride's family.... yet the satisfaction of getting your daughter wed to the best available boy overshadows this vacuum...

hmmmmmmmmmmm with marriage in the air... this was what revolved in my mind when i sat down to blog today..... got to get back to studies which is yet to catch the speed which i want..... that too will happen in a day or two.... i did not study much since morning so my books are calling me.....

Until next
Take care ... Stay Happy

SAYOONAARA........ :)
