Tempting
smell of fresh-prepared besan laddus everywhere in the house, wedding songs
like ‘mehendi sajake rakhna’ playing in background, Ankita dancing in her own
hatke style in main hall ..sonika busy with her make-up…aashima preparing
welcome drink….manisha busy in making delicious coconut laddus…and I….oh I
don’t remember what exactly I was doing..let it be J….but this was kind of mahol in our 131
house….occassion? Sangeet for Priyanka-Pooja-Bhawna wedding !
We all were
super-duper enthu in organizing this program and making 23rd Jan evening,
one of the most memorable ones…
Whole of
Saturday, we danced…for our big performance on next day…of which Ankita was
choreographer, manisha and I – freshers J so we were trying to learn each step from anku
and sonika…sonika is born dancer..she doesn’t need to learn anyways …it was fun
during those practice sessions as well.
At about
6pm, we were all set to welcome our guests …Hemal, our friends at 61 house and 21 house…
All of us were
decked up in Indian traditionals…we were even done with our initial photo
session in all possible combinations, solo pics, group pics, complete family
pic also J
And then,
guests started arriving, they were welcomed with Tilak ….and then special welcome
drink(obviously non-alcoholic)….sonika ke raaj me daru mana hai ! ..
Everyone
was so much surprised as they might not have expected that kind of atmosphere
at our house..Ratish pappa was amused after seeing our clean, chamkta hua ghar
Real dance
eve started up with Hemal’s garba and in 10 mins everyone was on the
floor….thanks to my brand new Vaio pc and its ‘loud’ speakers ;-) … they were
equally good as 61 house woofers… hehe…we all danced on the beats of all shaadi
songs … as Ankita had already declared… ‘Sirf shaadi wale gaane bajenege bhai!’
Some of
injured volleyball players became photographers…and sum still danced, they
couldn’t resist….after typical wedding songs..pawanji just took control of my
laptop…and we danced on all kind of songs….be it “bhootni ke” or “a ante
amlapuram” or “dhagala lagli kal”….we danced so much, that ppl were sweating in
3-4 degress also..
And then…it
was time for most awaited performance….”Mehendi hai rachnewali” by 4 of us from
131…everyone seemed to be surprised ..as we had prepared on full song…all of
our friends had set up the cameras to record …and we too had fun….dancing and
attending so many cameras J
Although
whole program created superb Indian traditional atmosphere, we had ordered
Pizzas for dinner J, ab kya kare, hamari pooja-priyanka
ko Pizza hi pasand hai.. ;-)
We all had
garama garam pizzas with tasty garlic breads ….anyways when u r eating with
your best friends, menu does not really matter…when its full of chit-chats,
gossips, pulling each other’s legs...food becomes tastier !
After
dinner program, it was time for gift distribution…gifts? Aashima was back from
her Cape town trip, the same day J and so sweet of her, she got
everyone nice gifts…South Africa ki yaadein…she is just too good in filling
happiness in the air by such small acts !
Now, it was
time to say bye bye…par kya kare..kisko joote hi nahi mil rahe the ! Shaadi hai
yaar….jootonke paise to bante hain J it was real fun….bargaining and
settling with some amt…dulha-dulhan waha india me…and hum yaha lage pade
the…..just to make this program as real wedding function…Somehow, after a lot
of zagdas, we returned their shoes…and allowed them o take leave…
It was a
great time….with great friends…to celebrate most happy day of our 3 lovely
friends..who are miles away from us physically….but have reserved lifetime
place in everyone’s heart…
