A Marathi Wedding

Just came back from a marathi wedding. :~

The aim is “to tie a knot” but still so many different styles are followed. Something similar to what we wear – the sole purpose is to hide body parts (but somehow they are more exposed nowadays) but still so many different wears are there in market. :D

Chalo chaado jee …. :)
This was more of a silent wedding, as compared to all pompous, show off in north for which I’m usually a part of .
The groom was all dressed in sherwani rode a “rath” and not “godhi”(horse), yup we did show ours “free style dancing skills over there”. At our place, its like at least half an hour of dance on road is must with all dhol-baje-nagada, but here it was merely 5 mins. :~

At the dwar(door) , after the tilak and all, bride came and then they went together till stage. Then they were standing opposite to each other but a “parda” was kept to obstruct there views. It was a big hall with a small stage , all people were seated neatly. That was a real surprise for me as at our place, nobody would be sitting, all will form a cluster here and there and would be busy chatting. Some elders from girls side would actually talk about groom-

hmmmm theek hain, thodi height kum hain,
array thoda savla(dark complexion) hain!!
Arrey iski baat mere didi kii bhatjee se bhi chali thi par unko pasand nahi aaya….
Finally, we heard some mantras and there was this pandit jee chanted mantras loudly on mike , people sitting there threw rice each time he completed one mantra, which actually resulted in rice on the person sitting in front of them as all were at a distant. As I was standing and my hairs are quite curly, I had rice hanging here and there all over my head. Finally, as soon as the mantras were finished and parda was removed and it was the moment for groom and bride to exchange garlands, all in hall stood up and looked for EXIT. I was surprised what happened suddenly, was there a bomb call or someone screaming snake snake!!! One of my friend told me that they are going out for lunch!!!

Then we also ran for the same, food was arranged in plates beforehand as they might be aware of how people would rush.
And “Bhooke logon ko sambhalna is not possible”. (Hungry people are impossible to be handled). :P

Food was tasty and simple, no tam-jham in that’s as well. All that is needed was there, sweets, puri, paneer, daal-chwaal… everything, but was confusing as each time a person came to serve us and would speak in marathi, and by the time I understood of what he was saying he left :(

Finally, after that we went to wish the couple, who were busy with some more rituals and only some near and dear ones were near them.

And then we were out of the place, coming back to office :(

Hard to Believe!!!

Many times it s hard to believe what we see… or rather our instincts force us to believe what we feel!!! Don’t know how true it is….

One of my friend narrated an incident in which she was slapped by someone while she was sleeping. And when she opened her eyes there was no one!!! When she shared the same with her mother even aunty said yup even she experienced something similar. :(

I asked her – were you watching something on TV like horror or about wandering souls . her reply was – NO!!

Were you afraid of something that night? Like thinking as someone would kill you or kidnap you? She said – Nopes. :o

How could then out of the blue she suddenly dream of being slapped by someone who is not visible? That is surely not a dream and also not superstition for sure. But it was hard to believe.

I too had a very similar experience I remember – not being attacked by souls but I did saw them.

It was the time when my grandmother expired. My “dadi” had a habit of sitting on the terrace at a specific place at dawn for an hour or so. It was the third day of all rituals and poojas, after finishing them I went upstairs just to be out of the crowd for sometime, just as when I was climbing stairs I could see someone sitting in the same posture as my dadi used too. I was shocked. I went close by thinking its in my mind and nothing in reality I tried sitting on the same chair but to my surprise I was able to feel someone already sitting there, I just turned and tried touching it but then there was nothing. And then there was nothing which I could see as well. This time when again I tried sitting on the same chair I was able to do that comfortably.

I never shared this incident to anyone as people would think its mere superstition. But I did feel that it was true!!! :x

Many times feeling takes a priority to what you see. Is it?

PS: I'm quite sure there would be many among us who would have a similar expereince

A Road Side Proposal

This is an incident that happened earlier with me, and I posted it on o3. Just reposting... njoy :)

Just a normal day, a normal routine, but a strange thing happened. As I ended my day in office at 5.35pm and started my way back home. Halted at one of the stores to buy some stuff. I came back and started arranging matter in my “Dikki” just when a guy on his bike stopped adjacent to mine. I turned back to look who is this stupid guy, parking just next to me.

I stared at him and suddenly he declared “I love you”…..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

My ears couldn’t believe what he said, He doesn’t seems to be any road side Romeo, as he was decently dressed, neither he was any of my office colleagues, and moreover I was amazed how he could recognize me as my whole face is covered, my stage was as if I have got a 440 WATT JHATKA!!! :o

Now he was smiling…. I find this weirder. I just started packing and thought of leaving this place as early as possible , then suddenly my eyes starting searching for any policewalla, I thought in any case if he misbehaves I should be assured that when I scream HELP HELP someone is there to help this “Abla Nari”. :y

Then he removed his helmet and said… Hey Relax dear. I just had a bet to propose 20 girls in ½ an hour and you are the 16th one.Thanks. :f

Now this was more dramatic. :o

He showed off his full 32 teeth’s and with broadest smile he said.. Don’t panic dear. I don’t know you and even I haven’t seen your face. So just Chill!!!!! And Thanks for cooperating :v ( Was I co operative ???)

I somehow believed him, stared at him and smiled, but poor him couldn’t see me smiling . :d

As I turned back my vehicle , something mischievous started up in my mind, thought of calling him and saying …I love you too , but I didn’t. :$

Just stared at him…And flew away…. :D

Thank you for missing me, muuuuahhhhhhhhhh . :k Even if you didn’t’, I m happy to live in that “khushfahmi “.

So I went for one of friends marriage. Marriage was good, but “ëk bhi changa munda nahi mila”so waste for me . ;)

Just narrating an interesting incident here…

We (read it as group of five freinds) were standing busy chatting of “this and that”. A group of 3 Uncle’jee approached us and turning towards me staright away posed one question – Whats your height without heel? Sahi sahi batana…!!! :o

When an elderly person is so confidently asking you something, I thought it to be bad manners and ask Who the hell are you asking me. But being polite I answered
Jee 5 foot 3 inch(Although in mind I thought of saying 3 foot 5inch) :x

Then he shooted next question :
My son is in bangalore and you being in Pune how would you manage this?

Ahhhh Now I got it, this uncle ji is here for his son. I started boiling… I don’t know but as soon as someone is there talking about my “rishta”,I start loosing my temper. Then my repeated those dialogue of Welcome “Control..Control…..!!!! :#
Uncle ji , behtaar hoga aap papa se baat kar le iss bare mein….

Then suddenly one of the other uncle started … mera ladka bhi Patni Compuetrs mein kaam karta hain… Mumbai mein… !!! Naam suna hain Patni ka…?
Mercury rising……!!!! :@Jee nahi… mein chote mote companies ka naam nahi sunti….. !!!
Kaunsa language hain tumhara…?(Again that 2nd Uncle thinking of himself to be Oversmart asked me)

Maine kaha.. Hindi…

In the mean time all remaning four(my freinds) started giggling….
Arrey nahi… programming language….

Gosh!!!!

I said… Pyhton, abacus, zingalu, chi-mi, satry……(Did you ever heard of these?)

That second Uncle was silent now….!!!

Again it was the turn of 1st Uncle….
To agar mere bete ko onsite mila aur tumhe nahi…to tum kya karogi?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… I was fuming…. :@

I would start a video album… singing…mere piya gaye Rangoon….. (That was in my mind actually….)
I ll quit…. !!! ;)

He was happy now, now he asked another one.. agar tumhe onsite mila aur usse nahi toh?

Ahhhhhh…….. Why this permutation and combination….??
I replied… then he’ll quit…. !!!  :r

Uncle was surprised. Tumahre papa ka naam Mr A hain….

Uddi baba… My father got changed and I m not aware of it. 

Nopes Uncle My father name is Mr S.
Ohhhhh… sorry beta, I thought you are someone else. And then again the gang of ‘3’moved to interview someone else…or rather to humiliate some REAL one.


And we busted laffing…..

Trapped!!

That was indeed more of the filmy incident that happened in my life…recently… Early morning around 7ó clock when I left for office I never thought of being in a situation like this, as usual I parked my vehicle and waited in the lobby for lift, just then lift came I went inside, when I saw a guy hurriedly trying to push button so as to stop the lift, I helped him by pressing the ‘open door’ button from inside. He came in , and thanked me. That was all. Story could have ended here with both of us stopping at there respective floor. But there was a twist, lift came to a halt just after crossing 1st floor. The automatic door didn’t get opened up, which made both of us to think we are trapped.The situation was more worse, as early morning there are hardly any employees to help us. We started banging the doors if someone could listen. But those ‘stupid doors’ were as hard as rock. He pressed the ‘alarm’ button, just thinking may be someone could help us.
I was still continuing with my banging ।Just when I thought of the situation where I’m trapped, smile flashed on my face. He saw me, and I don’t know was it telepathy or frequency match, he said- isn’t all FILMY ISHTYLE?

With the broadest smile I supported him

After about 4-5 mins of banging, and pushing alarm button about 10 times, we were able to hear the voice of gurad, or rather say GOD ;-)। He said – ‘aap log pareshaan mat hoyiye, bus 5-7 min mein lift chalu ho jayegi(Please don’t panic, lift would start again in 5-7 mins time.)’. Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh…. I was relieved, but now I could feel the suffocation, and I started to blabber – are you not feeling uncomfortable? I would die of this heat, these 5 mins would be like standing on a heated oven for me.

He smiled and then said- Nobody could be comfortable in this situation, and even I m feeling hot here, but nothing can’t be done, do you want me blow air with these papers for you(He had some papers in his hand)?

That was really sweet of him – I thought, naah don’t bother, may be I m panicking more। He started to talk a little as in which project you are, which floor, for how long….and some more queries, till then the lift got started and finally I said BYE to him and smiled.

To Picture abhi baaki hain mere dost !!!!!!!!
