Dad said that this occasion would be an opportunity to know and get along with the relatives. As I don't know anyone among them, I too felt the same. It was my grandmother's brother's granddaughter's marriage (don't take any trouble to find the exact relationship, I too don't know). So, I have to go to cousin's marriage who I have never seen before. Seems interesting!
Though the reception starts at 6:30 PM,Dad told me to start at 4:30 PM so that I can reach early and talk with as many relatives as possible. But I started from my flat at 6:20 PM to buy a gift for the couple. I am very poor in buying gifts but I know some standard gift items - Pens, Novels, Alarm clocks (giving chance to curse me whenever they hear the alarm, ha ha). Last item seemed relevant to the occasion. I saw a piece which looked nice. But when I watched it closely, it was like a used one. I asked the salesgirl about it. To my surprise, she said that they are damaged pieces. Why on earth, the damaged items are displayed for sales? Finally, I bought a wall clock(hope it works well).
I hoped to get a bus as early as possible. But there was no bus available for half an hour. And when I got into a bus, it stopped after moving few yards. The traffic jam halted all the vehicles. Wow! This is going to be very interesting! By the time I got down at a bus stop, it was 10 minutes past 9. Thanks to my enthusiastic co-passenger for guiding me to get down at the wrong destination. After arguing with a auto riskshaw driver who tried to exploit me, I continued my journey on foot. Later, by taking lift from two bikers(nice helping bangloreans), I reached the function hall at 9:45 PM. My only hope - at least the wedding couple should be present at the place to take my gift.
(To be continued ...)

I really don't like attending marriages. Nothing can be more boring than them especially when you hardly know anyone there.
I don't like going to a marriage sit there like a stranger and answer all stupid question when some Aunt or Uncle meet you.
The typical questions would be ...
1. God, you became soooooo bigg .... I saw you when you were 2 !! (Wow, I'm a complan boy !!)
2. When are you giving us "Dal" Rice to eat .. ?? (You want me to marry just for you guys to get free food ??? &^%%%$%$&# ?)
3. Heyy .. hows job ?? (its JOB .. not my hobbie, how would it be ??)
4. Whats ur salary ?? (Are you going to give me a hike ?)
Do I really need to attend marriages ?????
I hate it when u say such things..I mean, its acceptable a couple of times. right from the days of our graduation, u've never been on time for allmost everything..I am not saying u should be on time for that not so familiar marriage of ur unknown relation. But I'm afraid that u r falling in to a bad habit.
Where's the continuation??
