Its raining marriage this season… Most in-fact almost all my friends are getting married. Honestly, i am happy for them and wish them luck.
But, here i list an incident.... that was then followed by many.
I went to this friend’s marriage, a very close friend… a typically Punjabi wedding, with all the dhin chak music, the BTM aunties in their see – through sarees and how can I miss this – the ‘dudes’ flaunting their sunglasses at the night function! Must admit, that why people say… Punjabi weddings are fun!
Ok… was losing focus. As usual, we girls had nothing else to do than sit around the bride and make her feel even more conscious, giggling at the comments… oops compliments and the bride giving the practiced smile! God, I wonder, why only we have to go through this… that when a thought passed through my mind… Maybe few years down the line, there will be crash course classes on the code of conduct during the marriage, training the would be bride and the grooms, how to smile, walk, talk and even when they fight on stage, turn around to give a “everything is fine” kinda smile!!! Ok am being nasty… you never know, when I get hit by the situation and some other friend of mine sharing her/his views on his/her blog!
Ok now comes the killer part… The groom’s guy friends! This is surely hilarious (atleast I think so). One of the groom’s friend had this single minded agenda (seemed so), to hook up with a girl at his friends marriage and go through all that his friend is going through!
Here how the conversation commenced and ultimately…
Dude: Hi, are you the girl’s friend?
Me (Least interested in replying to someone, who wore sun glasses at an evening, infact a night function): Yes
Dude: Hi.. I am…blah blah
Me: (Just smiled and turned my face. I wished to wriggle outta that place… but really couldn’t)
Dude: Are you hooked? I mean, are you seeing someone?
Me: (with an excuse me expression, just turned my face, pretending, not to have heard the question)
Dude: I have done my MBA from… (Really can’t complete this, since, was least bothered)
Dude: He (The groom) is my very good friend. I think he did mention about you to me!
As that was it… how on earth would he even know, that his friend was speaking about me, since I wasn’t even cordial enough to tell him my name!
Thank god for small mercies… I got the chance to leave that place…
And here goes another killer line from the mother my friend (who was getting married)… Beta aapki shaadi kab??? Abh tho aap ka number hai agla…
GOD… Gimme a break… anyhow, with no man in my life (not that I regret) and bumping into people who just want to make silly conversations…. I am happy to be single…

man, how much i love the sun glasses adorned men bashing sessions. i can't seem to agree more on how some of these guys are so random but if i may add..it is great fun. can someone tell me where are all these guys trained. here's my take on the issue..i would think all of them are given some kind of serum before birth that automatically trains them to behave like this when they reach a certain age and when in contact with a young pretty gal like Ranjini :)
will reserve my comments on punjabi weddings..for later..
Hey ranjini,
Very interesting incident i say and i can so relate to this.Having no man in my life ( it has it's blessings trust me ) ,i run into all kinds of men at weddings and its funny and sometimes irritaing like hell on the one minded agenda they have .....i rem attendung a close friends wedding in delhi in march and i was her bridesmaid so was the cynosure of many eyes !!!i felt like every elderly lady there was asking about my marital status and of course not to miss those guys who were trying their best to be friendly and charming-i wa sleast bit flattered in fact it was an ordeal..........one will encounter many such indcidents till we were single ..i guess !!!
Well that is the part of life. Still u never know you might encounter more of these incidents even after you get married…provided the guy who is at it doesn’t know the marital status of the girl in question.
Still all marriages are not the same…I can say that with experience.
