First marriage in my friends circle

Wow the most awaited weekend was showing itself up, but for the tons of office work to be done before leaving it was a brilliant beginning. Must say so much of work also gave it a good start :) I was planning to leave office by 9.30 to take my bus at 11! Yes that is how careful bangaloreans must be. And I was pushed to work till 9.27 as I wont be having any form of internet access over the weekend.

Kudos to irctc tatkal I had to book a sitting bus in last minute, which I thought would be a great spoiler, but I was blessed with a sound sleep that night to my own astonishment, yes I really slept in a sitting bus! First time ever in my life I suppose, thanks to Citrix for the heavy work :)

I was taking a bus to Madurai, which was 2 hours away from Dindukkal, I was off to the place which a partial reason for my name - My father was working in Madurai when I was born. I was born on Meena rasi too, so they decided to give me this name :) My cousin brother has currently positioned his tent in Madurai. We both expected me to reach the place by 9.30 or so, and to our shock and surprise I reached by 6.30 -> GOK how the KPN driver managed, thank God I slept off!

He had two kids[girls], was looking forward to have a great time with them as they already knew me very well as my brother stayed for nearly three years just next street to us. But alas they were sleeping when I went. Had dosa for a good change I was not the maker :P [I have started cooking and must say that it is not very tough :)] then those sweet buddies got up. It was really awesome to hear them call me "Athai", I have ever and will ever long for not having an athai :( Athai is father's sister. My father's side family is much restricted to my father and his own brother and my grandmother's own brother family. My grandfather used to say that his brother's and all were bad people so they used to stay away from them, whatever it was I dint have an athai to hear "அத்தை மடி மெத்தையடி ஆடி விளையாடம்மா" :(

Then I had a sound sleep :) then a heavy lunch. Then playing with those kids again :) Around 3.30 finally I decided to start and my brother dropped me at bust stand and I took a Govt bus, with seat near the door, wow I was very lucky.

The travel was unforgettable. "மண்வாசனை" was ever lingering with fresh rains having played with it and more joyfully willing to come. The path was so serene that I was feeling totally peaceful, no laptop, no shecheduled tasks, no coding, no accomplishment of targets. This was really beauty. Either side were hills and few more taller ones allowing them to be called small mountains. There were so many of them. The series went on and the final hill or mountain seem to be the sky itself. The blissful blue colour that they took gradually was a perfect match to the sky blue.

The mail glory creator was adding on to the ecstasy, the Sun, it luminously decorated the clouds. There was a stong beauty competiton between the sky, the sun, the hills/mountains and the clouds and finally putting myself as judge "together it was heaven :)".

Such a journey at this hectic period of life was an ice breaker. Surely it was a must and it proved to be much more worthful :)

At last I reached the place and was off to madapam, it really felt good to witness first marriage among our friends circle. There was Yaazh showing all sings of a girl ready for reception, she looked strikingly beautiful. And slowly everyone came and we had a great time together enjoying every moment of the ocassion, with so much of care given to us by Yaazh's parents. And the next day came with the marriage ceremony getting over -> there blossomed Mrs.Yaazhisai Parthiban, it is indeed a very significant day for her, the next afterwhich her entire lifestyle would change.

Then back to Madurai, enjoyment with my brother kids :)

Altogether the trip was simply awesome.

PS: You might have wondered why the whole post was full of text with no photos. This was a blow, last time when I went home I forgot to get back my camera :( But must say these images shall never leave my mind. Everything will ever stay captured there :)
