One of my close pals, who was with me in schools had his sisters marriage on Saturday. This saw 15 of my old classmates including me getogether and drive up to Shahbad Haryana from Chandigarh. Since the girl was in one of the 4 cars with us we had to get there on time, but as luck would have it there was a major traffic jam so "jammy" (grin) that we spent between 1 and 1/2 hrs to complete 11 kms. That saw the Accent viva coming off road and after half an hour of off road driving we managed to get out of the jam.
At the marriage it was initially the excitement of meeting old pals, some of whom I was meeting after more than a year.
Beckoned by the brides sisters cries for help, the men in shining armour were to the rescue.
Why? You ask... read on?
In Punjabi weddings a ribbon is tied to the entrance of the venue, which is meant to be cut by the groom. The sisters of the bride are supposed to stop the groom from cutting the ribbon(with some help ofcouse) till they can extract a ton of money from him. Stopping him can also include shoving him back. So 15 guys standing at the entrance two of whom were abnormally huge may not have seemed a very win win situation or a fun idea of a shoving match so a demand for 5k was met without much of bargaining.
During a dance before the marriage which is supposed to be dominated by the guys side all of us got on the floor and Yo Balle balle.... Grin grin more fun....
UMMMM gotta go coz my lecture is due. More after class.
