Lekha and me had taken off by 9 AM for Kochi to attend my classmate's son's wedding. Despite a few hiccups in the traffic enroute, we're able to reach the venue half an hour into the wedding service at the church. There were a lot many class mates in attendance and it was nice to be among them as there was much to catch up with.
Kuruvilla Philip(Roll no. 420) and his wife, Becky were the surprise. All the rest, including me, were seeing him for the first time after we'd left school. Was he unsure of the reactions from us - service guys, with that chip(?) on their shoulders - because he looked out of place amid us but after the initial process of the proverbial breaking of the ice, he too got to be outgoing.
The wedding was a dignified and grand affair between a 'Mallu' boy and a 'Bong' girl. Sebastian and Molovika looked very much in love but what I couldn't figure out was the bridegroom's shaved head at such an important and photogenic occasion of his life. Perhaps, this look is the in thing these days! But they looked good together and here's us wishing them a wonderful married life and everything that they wish for!
A nice lunch, lots of conversation, the mandatory photographic session with the newlyweds and their parents and soon after, we're on our return trip. Despite being a Sunday, the traffic was heavy and it took almost two hours for us to reach home, in time for the evening cuppa tea! In the meanwhile, my cousin from Thiruvananthapuram who was here to attend a wedding had dropped in at 'The Quarterdeck' to meet mom and Achu. Understand that we'd missed each other by a whisker!!
Tailpiece.
(a) Thanks, Deric and Meera, for giving us the occasion to be with you on your special day.
(b) With four days of antibiotics, mom is definitely looking better. And Achu goes back tomorrow for the next three days to be with his paternal grandmother.
