After all the radical ideas I come up with to post in this blog, you would really wonder what have I got up my sleeve now. Wedding bells?? Of all the things!! Sounds like its going to be too out of the way right. No. This time I am not in for anything like that. This is going to be a nice sweet post.
So.. Coming to it.. Y about wedding?? Two of my very good friends are engaged and are going to get married before the end of this year. One is going to be the proper Indian arranged marriage where mom and dad saw the guy, decided he would suit the family and then went on to inform the girl about it, the girl gets to know the guy, happens to talk once in a while over the phone and waits for the wedding day and more to know what life has in store for her. The other.. what is called with subtlety a self-arranged marriage. But i am sure both(all the four i mean) of them are going to have a nice life. I wish them all happiness.. forever.
Talking of weddings, one other thing that comes to my mind is the movie i watched lately. That movie which mom thought was very good and my grandmother badly wanted to see from the very day she came to my place. All of it just because they were showing the type of wedding that takes place in my clan. So, i was pestered much till i got the movie for them. But i was really happy. My grandmother seemed so happy about it and it looked like she was enjoying the movie, at least the beginning of it. They started commenting on every bit of it. From the house the movie was pictured in to the way people walked, talked, addressed their relatives. There were lot of rewinds and fast forwards and quite much of criticism. But the great disappointment came when that supposedly most hyped about wedding scene, that they wanted to watch the most, the very reason why the decided to watch the movie, ended in a sequence of a song.(Well.. did they think the movie was documentary on the wedding!!) Still, it was okay. The got to terms with it soon and then the fun started. Can you think of what would have happened!! No, they dint forget the sequence and continue with the movie, neither did they discontinue watching the movie then. They started looking for details in the song. Once, not enough. Twice, hey we missed out something. Thrice.. I was bugged and walked out. When i finally returned the movie was over and my brother told me the song sequence alone was played 11 times!!!! That one song. The movie could as well have lasted only that long.
Well.. Hearing all this the first things that i thought of.. How enthusiastic!! The way she got herself involved in it. It was just a movie, so be it. If she can be so interested to all those minute details even in a movie how good she must be at other areas. Not just her. But a lot of people of the past generation. They are always curious, very interested, always wanting to know things. They work on computers and Internet, they are so much at ease using mobile phones and above all they are so much fun to be with. Given the right opportunities my grandmother would as well have been 10 times better than my brother.
My goodness!! I am just too full of multifarious ideas now. So many unrelated thoughts which I guess only i can put together. No.. Not now.. I am saving it for yet another post.
