Who saal doosra tha, Ye saal doosra hai!!!- Part I

The title of this post has been blatantly copied( inspired) from a song of Ataulla Khan. For those of you who are not aware about him he is a Pakistan based singer who got famous with accha sila diya tune mere pyaar ka (was a reshamiya of his times).

I have started writing this post with the intention of it being a reflective and stock taking post – kya kya hua, kya bura hua aur kya bahut bura huaJ . These events which have made the year that has gone by are in relation to me for eg you will find my companion for last 3 yrs my nokia 6300 breathing its last not 2 G scam.

The event that wil bbe put to post mortem is my marriage not commonwealth games! The housing problem that will be discussed is my hous getting flooded thrice in 10 days from the overflowing overhead tank not the aadarsh scamJ

Enough of perspective or agenda setting, now I should come back to the main point or the post …

The year will always be the most significant year in my life till date, it saw me getting married. I know it’s not a record breaking achievement but believe you me it’s definitely a life changing experienceJ, I will excuse you all from the marriage related clichéd jokes as it’s my blog not comedy circus or Pakistani comedy serial.

But whatever said, marriage itself is such a event that changes every known equation in life which a bachelor believes. It’s an experience which you cannot describe aptly in words no matter how hard you try, mere jaise ati saadharan writer ke liye to asambhav ye karna utna heen asan hai jitna sreesnath ko most well behaved player ka khitaab milnaJ. Luckily we knew each other well before marriage. The process called marriage is one that it’s very apltly called an institution after going through it I had no wonder why Barjatya’s can’t get enough of these marriage movies.

The D day, D-5 & D+5 days are filled with so many events and that too at two different places, it’s a mad house. Generally people write or share experiences the pain or anguish they go through while undergoing this rituals but I had a different experience. I enjoyed most of it, it’s like a project with unending number of project managers each with a different view and strategy but still in sync. There is a systematic chaosJ . I was amazed to see my 80+ year old naani behaving with the energy of 18 yr oldJ. I was also pleasantly shocked by other people ability to get happy for me even though some of them were extended family whom you have not even met for ages. Shayad unhe meri shaadi ka bharosa heen nahi tha ya unko laga is gadhe ka ho sakta hai to kisi ka bhi ho sakta haiJ.

To be continued in part II……………
