This afternoon we'd a very pleasant appointment of attending a get together in town. A tautly edited entertainment programme, for a duration of an hour and a half, was the mainstay that show cased the talent within the group and I must say that it was exceptionally good. Though it's getting to be almost a year since we'd shifted into Guruvayur, this was our first tryst with the conglomeration despite repeated invites and we're the newest members to have enrolled into it. The group has been in existence since 1992 and has been able to bring about a bonding of its fraternity, both old and young!
We're three from our school, representing each of the three services and boast of being the 'largest' group from a single school!
The 'pongo' representative among us had a request - to keep 19 Apr '15 free to attend his daughter's wedding. The young lady is a doctor with the forces and is yet another example of a 'beauty with brains'. The father-daughter relationship has been the toast among us, who know the family, in that they're good friends exchanging ideas, thoughts and their apprehensions. In the process, the joke was that they generated a lot of funds for the telecom service provider with whom they're registered!
But Cupid has delivered a body blow to the lovely dad-daughter relationship.The young lady has fallen in love with a colleague of her's who's had a previous marriage that had lasted for only a month. The dad feels, that, had the young lady kept him informed about the budding relationship, he could have prevented her from taking a hasty decision......... Another dad who feels that he knew what's best for his li'l girl. The angst was clearly evident on the dad as he was at pains to fight off the sense of betrayal. I could only hear him out helplessly, fully aware of the fact that I was powerless to reduce his pain and do the next, best thing - help him lighten his burden of emotions!
Tailpiece.
The young lady is gonna feel the repercussions when the dad pulls himself back from his earlier involvement in her life. Or has she graduated in life, so much so, that her dad's role has reached its end?
PS.
We did win a prize - a lovely Borosil serving dish - when the counterfoil of our entry ticket was picked up by young Jonathan in a lucky dip!
