A short, taut trip.

It was my cousin, Malu's engagement with Ajesh, who'd flown in for a couple of days for the event. The simple ceremony was held at Kidangoor, at an auditorium close to the houses of the couple. They're gonna get married on 21 Apr 2013 at Ettumanoor!

Lekha and me had gone home yesterday to fetch my mom, Minni and Ammu for the occasion and there were a few unfinished tasks that needed to be tied up. We'd kicked off from home this morning and thankfully, the stretch of highway, that I'd chosen to drive was in fine shape, because of which we could reach the destination well within time. It was nice meeting the immediate family on such a joyous occasion.

A couple of points that were poignant on the occasion were:-

       (a) Malu is the last of the second generation girls, from the PN Panicker family, on the road to wedded
            bliss. Of the two boys remaining, Kuttu's getting married next month and Manu has a long way to
            go!

       (b) It was during Kuttu's engagement ceremony, about ten months back, that the entire family had
            conglomerated soon after which Leela kunjamma, Santhan kochachan and dad had bid adieu
            from us in quick succession..........

Showing, yet again, as to how transient life is!
