By 9 AM we're on the road, headed this time to the venue of the wedding. More on the day's events after the journey.
The drive to the venue was 23 km long but the road was good and the traffic, manageable. Enroute, we passed through a place that had witnessed a nasty accident involving a Kinetic Honda and a Tata Sumo during the wee hours of the morning. Though the affected passengers had been shifted to a nearby hospital, the vehicles remained at the scene of the accident at grotesque angles!
The wedding was a short affair followed by the traditional lunch. The interaction with friends and relatives was exhilarating followed by the ferrying of a few of my close relatives to the nearest railway station, which was about twelve km away. By the time we'd reached home it's around a half past 2 and as I tried to catch up on my forty winks, our old maid and family had come requesting me to advise her son as to what profession he should pick up based on his brilliant performance in the 10 plus 2 examination.
My mom was particularly thrilled to meet up with her and assured them that I'd help them, which is actually a tall order!
The evening's reception at the lawns of Lekha's ancestral house was a grand affair. By the time we're back home it was a half past 9 and I'd the satisfaction of doing everything that I'd planned to do and more on this trip!
Tailpiece.
Lekha has come along with us after having spent the last three days with her folks in connection with the wedding and related activities.
And here's wishing Sakthi and Indu a long and happy married life with all that they wish for!
