Yet another marriage attendance...

Yet another marriage was over, but now for a change, I as an 'adopted brother' had practically nothing to do but to be physically present, do some 'rituals' as a brother of the bride. The rituals in Hindu marriage are really tiresome and I dont know who is going to bell this boring cat :( The two principal characters of a marriage are so occupied in the mundane activities in those two days that it is not at all a surprise that I have not heard of any married person who has watched the video of their own marriage. Going through it itself is such a big pain and having to go through it once more can be near death :)) Yes, one added benefit is that I was gifted a gold ring.

Of course, I had mentioned that world is indeed a small place and it is not by design that people whom we had met in another proposition before come in close encounter. My sister probably want to 'pep' me up by concocting some imaginary conversation that my mother had with her. For one, I dont need to be 'pep'ped up and my mother is not the kind to indulge in the 'imaginary' conversation as told by my sister. She is just replaying the plot in movies. If the lead pair in the movie 'breaks' up for some reason, I dont see any reason why they inevitably have to marry someone who is not 'as good as, if not better than, the might-have-been'. I think this has got to do with religion and the ideas that there is always a pay-back for our deeds. If I betray someone, I will pay for it 'sooner or later'.

Well, almost the same thing here as well. They seem to make a pretty happy and good couple and most importantly, I did not ever miss the 'lost opportunity'. My sister probably thought that I was finding it hard to get over that not-more-than-20-minute-encounter years back. Infact, another girl came and told me 'Hi'. I could only ask 'who are you?' and she said that she too was present in that meeting :)) Well, I have a good memory for sure, but I always call it RAM and only few bytes get stored in hard disk for later retrieval. Rest of them are in cache and gets swiped immediately :))
