My Best Friend's Engagement

If you want to hear then i better start at the begining, I reached Bangalore from Hyderabad on 22nd May after spending a long weekend with my parents. Next day with half weiry sleepy eyes i woke up saw the clock, it said 6:30 AM, i decided it was a good beautiful early morning so i went on and did 50 laps that day. By laps i mean 50 mins more of sleep, i use the word 'laps' as it sound more exercisy & atletic and less lethargic. Ever since i was a kid, i always prefered usage of such enthusiastic terms instead of telling others how lazy a bum i was; feel free and us my lively approach, "oh! after 50 laps you just feel so refreshed" or "Man doing 100 laps really helps me concentrate, you should also try it." .
Now back to that good old morning, i got up, got ready for my best friends' engagement, just when i thought i was all set, my next best thing ajay calls and reminds me that a flower basket is to be bought for the happy couple. Now really!!! i know what you are thinking.. you will say, thats a lame gift for a best friend... i know, i wanted to give him an X-Box 360 , but then i thought there are more positive points by presenting him with flowers in a (arranged)basket. How you may ask?? did you ever see an indian wedding and the amount of flowers needed... so it has always been my big fantasy that i enter a Wedding/Engagement with the gift flowers and notice there a big commotion, all pandits and relatives are running helter-skleter, their worry is that there are just not enough flowers for the event and if fifteen more flowers are not provided in next few seconds, the rahu kaalam will take over and the marriage/Engagement may not happen in this kalyug, but to their luck i enter and save the day. so you see how important flowers can be, besides they are just Rs 100/-, where else i cant see why you need to pay Rs 7000/- for a video gaming device which cant even save you when the rahu is attacking your best friends Engagement and knocking my fantasy away.... so i decided.... shashank get ready for your wedding we will gift you flowers again... hahaha


Anyways, we reached there, Shanks booked us stairs seating for the event, so that we had the balcony view of everything (look at the side photos), while Shanks himself was in gandhi class.The event was a very small and neat one, i can tell you all details, all mantras and all procedures of the function but, i am assuming people reading my blog mostly talk in english and the procedures were in sanskrit, so there is a chance that it will just confuse you, therfore i will not go in details. And if you are really planning to telling me that you have good knowledge of sanskrit and you have to have all details..........then............. please mail me the names of all colours of rainbow in sanskrit or in your native language (not English), and i ll mail you the event details.... hahaha

So with the flowers we went, we saw, we ate and we wished. By we i mean I, Ajay, Ganesh and Tarak. Dont worry the story does not end at that, we also used our eternal traditional bad joke on Shank's brother Sameer, i.e. constantly reminding him that "he is next in line...", Now this joke is an indian tradition, and is to be used on all eligible bachelors in your radar at all indian marriages and Engagements, i know you have to ask why?? well it has to be used as a part of tradition and to make fun and have fun on all such eligble bachelors' account at that event. This joke is more dominant in the old aunties committees in the events. Scared now huh!!! So All my young friends, dont worry we do have a remedy for attack of the aunties joke, i.e remind them that next time you visit a funeral you will be using the same line/joke on them. :-) .."Hey auntie.. look how happy he looks lying there.. i guess you should be next in line... come on auntie,, you have to be next, i am putting all my money on you auntie... please god, please god!!! let it be her.. auntie, promise me you will be next, i pray everyday for you auntie.. i am sure even god wants it.. you are next auntie"

Now for more Bonus stuff, Shashanks parent looked really happy and relieved that their son has matured and is now engaged. Shanks got a pair of shirts and pants so we all hope to see him out of the ususal blue cloured shirt and green T-shirt that we see him everyday. The couple touched everyone's legs apart from their prophet's(i.e. me... hehehehe). All shanks' newly founds did inspect shanks' room to see if they can find some dope/cigarettes/his long haired friends to talk about, but shanks was too clever, he had cleaned his room the night before or so i heard.. hehehe. Sameer never gave much reaction, but he is next that is for sure.. hahaha, Lastly, i was glad i was there to see the occasion and wish Shashank. Well also i was there to see if he was going to sneak out, start his bullet and runs off to himalayas or bangkok but he didnot. Well good that he did not, good that he stayed, good that he is engaged, and good to see a new happy phase come into his life..
