Well....who said good things don't happen to you... there are always different ways in which happiness bangs your door... my current reason for the happiness is the recent visit to my own country... the place I call my home..and to add cherry to the cake.. it was my cousin's grand wedding that became the main reason for my India trip. I have to admit, I love Indian Weddings...yep, simply love them..... well as long as m not the one who's getting married, but otherwise, all the dances and dholi and mehandi and all these pooja's and rituals that are performed where the entire family sits together, where you never how and where you're day passes by. The talks, big time leg pulling and in a fraction of a second the entire family would be roaring with laughter. The look on everyone's face.. the ever so cute smiles, the lovely hugs (different gestures of expressing love) The uncle's and aunt's, that's too generalised.... nooooo!! chachu's and chachi's .. tayaji's and tauji's...bua's and phophaji's(fufaji's) and mum & dad of course and the most important...all my cousins.. Mostly we all would do things together like preparing for the sangeet, cursing each other, making sure that the arrangements are running in smoothly... eating together in one plate( usually me n my brothers would eat together "ek thali mein khane se pyaar badhta hai...." hee hee). It felt great to go back and spend time with them after 2 long years...The fun part was all that non-stop dancing.... except a few most of us were always ready to dance...more of a rain dance (coz of the rainy season... no other reasons!!) the moto was "Dance 'till you Drop".
To everyone's least expectations I made it to the wedding and surprised everyone with my all time naughty smile....and I can never forget the look on everyone's face when I met each one of them individually...(mostly i made sure that they don't see me at the same time.. :-D) One of my cousins actually thought that he was hallucinating..the cutest of them all....and he walked past me thinking he was crazy and I went back to him asking why he did that... and then he realised that he was not hallucinating.. n I actually was standing in front of him..... :-D
During the wedding it also got me in to thinking that, more like realizing the years that flew by so fast. It seems just like yesterday when we all would play hide n seek or dark room... and today each one of us ready to start our own family... Grown ups eh?? its an overwhelming feeling .. and nostalgic sometimes... and scary too sometimes... but I guess this is something which is inevitable and the only way to let this feeling go away is to have faith and trust.... and loads n loads of love n the feeling that such times will keep on coming.... and the remembrance of the good times we've had... hmmmmmm..... all in about to summarize the trip back to my homeland was simply absofreekin'lutely fantabulous.... it's an excellent way to reboot and a must for a energetic fresh start... we all should do that once in a while... na?? ... :-)
