Some thoughts about a rural wedding (if I can take the privilege to term it one!!)

It was on 8/7/7 that I attended the reception of a colleague's wedding. These days, receptions are being had just before the wedding day.

The Queue to wish the "to-be" couple was a pretty long one... we had to wait in the Q taking the gifts and I did wait for almost 25 mins.. I don't remember having waited for such a long time, just to wish someone.

That could have been adjusted to, but the worst part was yet to come.. We did wish him... had some fun there while wishing him and next, we had to go to the basement to have dinner... That was the beginning of my travails...

It was so unethical.. Everyone there were having their dinner and we could also see other people standing behind them gaping at their plates/plantain leaves, which made the food consumers feel uncomfortable.

"When you are in Rome, be a Roman" - We had also to do the same as there were quite a lot of people coming and the time was already 21:45 hrs. We were unsure if we wud get some food and we had to leave coz I personally had to be home b4 22:30 and my house was almost 45 mins journey from there! (However, I reached @ 22:45 by speeding in the dead of the night.. that is a different story altogether!)

A few of the pics are being uploaded... I'm nowhere in the pics coz I was standing out of the Queues after having asked my colleagues to do the honours! ;)

Ain't that sickening???? Just check the expression of the guys who are eating and the expression of the guys who are waiting.. Thank God.. I did not create problems or discomfort for anyone!

Secularism -- Majority and Minority

This post is not dedicated to anyone and is just a forwarded email which has been copied and pasted over here... and i am forced to assume that this is the truth! I had posted earlier on the same topic and here i go again! Talking abt majority and minority as a part of the comments in my previous post, i was forced to put this in points below: 1. Do you consider that - Sanskrit is communal and Urdu is secular, Mandir is Communal and Masjid is Secular, Sadhu is Communal and Imam is secular,VandeMatharam is communal and Allah-O-Akbar is secular, Shriman is communal and Mian is secular, Hinduism is Communal and Islam is Secular? 2. Why Godhra is blown out of proportion, when no-one talks of the ethnic cleansing of 4 lakh Hindus from Kashmir? 3. When Christian and Muslim schools can teach Bible and Quran, Why Hindus cannot teach Gita in our schools? 4. When Haj pilgrims are given subsidy, why Hindu pilgrims to Amarnath, Sabarimalai & Kailash Mansarovar are taxed? 5. If Muslims & C...

The Truth - "Kannada Barutha"??? Kannada barbeku!

"Kannada Barutha??", ah! I am sure most of you in Bangalore would have heard this, but what is "kannada barutha?" here it goes. Bangalore the IT capital of India , the silicon city and now a Metro city opened its gates to almost all kinds of people. Very evidently the recent poll census proved that there are only 47% of original inhabitants in Bangalore/bengaluru. The life style of the city has seen a gradual change with Pizza Corners replacing MTR's, classy eat out's replacing "Vidyarthi Bhavans" and flashy pub's replacing all our "Mahalakshmi wine shops". "Change is inevitable" from the days of BEML, HAL and BHEL to INFOSYS, WIPRO; Bangalore has a new look now on the world map. Gone are the days where a typical Sunday for any bangalorean was a nice romantic walk on the pavements of "LALBAGH...", "rave idli and coffee.." at the nearest yet old looking MTR and a wonderful Annavra film either at Santosh o...

Love or Infatuation

Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another. Love, on the other hand, is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows - one day at a time. Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity, you are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream. Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real, it gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warned by his/her presence, even when is away. Long distances do not separate you. You want him/her near, but near or far, you know he/she is yours and you can wait. Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing him/her." Love says, "Be patient, Don't Panic. He/she is yours. Plan your future with confidence." Infatuation...
