Wedding Fun and Chaos...

So here I am experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms after the past few amazing weeks of fun and chaos. Down with the fever, chills, cough and everything in between. So my sister's wedding went off well, with a few minor glitches... you know what they say bout glitches at a wedding, that there has to be a few and the marriage will be a success. Going by that account, me and Tonio will be together for eternity... considering the way my wedding was. My sister Nameeta says that I always have a way of turning things round to me... and, I just did that. Anyway, getting back to the wedding it was fun, major fun... not so much for the guests but for us cousins and the family. Growing up we (as in me and the siblings) used to spend many vacations with the cousins in Bombay... over the past few years we manage to get together only during weddings and it's still like old times, fooling around and staying up late nights. The previous day before the wedding, the bride went to sleep early and we decided to take pictures round the sleeping bride after placing bottles near her head, half empty alcohol bottles. The drunkard bride and her shocked cousins... we cracked ourselves up. The next day after the wedding, we decorated the room in a cheesy way with floating candles and flower petals in heart shapes... t'was crazy fun and I miss it. Gotta wait for the next wedding now... 

Anyway, here are a few random pictures... . 
So back home I live in this huge beautiful colony and we (me and Nameeta) used to go walking often, there's this park on the way and we never fail to enter it on our jaunts through the colony. We sat on this see-saw after ages...
The slide...
This is our favourite...
My sister... just like old times.
And that's me...
Blessing the bridal couple...
 
Blessing of the rings and the mangalsutra...
 Me and the cousins made heart shapes on the road leading to the church...

A blue heart...
 Lights at home...
 Table centerpiece...
Candle lights in kolam patterns... I love this. 
 Something blue (butterfly bracelet), something new (N embroidered handkerchief), something old and something borrowed (the gold bangles mom wore when she got married)
 Floating candles in dyed water...
Perusing through the book all the cousins receive when they get married...

There's still a lot more to write but that's for another post...

Great pics :) lots of nostalgic memories as well. What would we give to go back to the days of innoccence, carefree living when our only worry was the Maths exam and one could enjoy life with games, comics and the company of brother, sisters and friends!

Time changes everything :)

All the best to your sister for a new phase of her life :)

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

My school teachers...

So I got to thinking bout my school days recently and it saddened me that I was starting to forget a few teachers who had shaped my life, I have already forgotten nearly half the classmates... though its not my fault. Some people just don't want to join facebook, then how can you find them in this big world. Even if I do find them, there is not much to talk beyond the 'where are you & what are you doing' phrases. But the teachers are another matter, they deserve to be remembered for moulding us. I gotta hand it to the convent school I studied in, they really knew how to select their educators... all the teachers I had shared a genuine passion for teaching and above that they had strong moral values and faith which invariably shaped our lives. To them being a good person was what mattered the most and they made sure we grasped this knowledge, it also helped that I had staunch catholic parents who cemented this view. Anyway, I just wanted to jot down stuff bout my teacher...

And nobody was named Fred....

There was a Hugo and a Rosie... but no Fred. Oh well, it's over... that is more than enough. So finally the Harry Potter series has come to an end. And I did read all the books... but somehwere between the third and the fourth book, all the success went to her (Rowling's) head and she started churning out lousy sequels. I mean the first book was really nice, stuck to important stuff... and did not ramble on unnecessarily. I liked the third book the best, cause of Sirius... I thought he was the most amazing character, he was portrayed as this handsome reckless and brave guy, rugged looking but great looking, kinda like Aragon in the movie, "Lord of the rings" or Oded Fehr in "The Mummy Series". So it was only natural that I stopped watching the Harry potter movies, after I saw who they had cast to play the role of Sirius Black, some demented looking guy. Just look at the pictures!!! Anyway, this last book was just too much... there was too much of everyt...
