Sometimes time we go through is not spent, but gained. It gives the energy, the hope to see at the brighter side of the life. Yesterday I went to my bosom friend Nilesh's marriage at Mungaon. Just 2 weeks back both Nilesh and Jyoti had come to UDCT and had invited us. I was invited to both places. Jyoti's home is at Mungaon and 1st programme was set there on 25th of May, 2013. It was a nonworking Saturday. Woke up early, finished the daily works, pressed my good Kurta and Jeans and packed and was ready for the journey. So I took a train of Panvel, reached there at 10:00 am. Luckily enough I got a bus in no time. Earlier I asked a few friends and came to know that from Panvel to Mungaon is a one and half hours journey by bus. Calculation says I would have reached at 11:30 am, and the programme was to start at 12:30 and which means that I was well within time. But, I was unaware of the terrible traffic jam on that route and reached there at 02:30 pm. The marriage rituals were over and the reception was about to start. I quickly dressed up and joined, and programme went smoothly. It finished at around 6:00 pm and we left for Dombivali. We reached there at 10:30 pm, fully exhausted, all of us. This us includes Nilesh, Jyoti, me, Kamlakar (my another bosom friend and also very close to Nilesh and Jyoti and I met him after really long time), Nilesh's father, sister, uncle, aunt and Rohit; their son (13 years old chap). Uncle, aunt and sister invited us for next days meal and left. Nilesh's father said us to stay in such a way that we decided to stay there. Although dead tired, Jyoti came into action. Slowly but steadily she cleaned the room, made food for all of us and arranged for the other necessary things. Nilesh also calmly helped her, but she acted as if she stayed there forever and she is not the just married bride. Cladded in her wedding Sari, she did not hesitate for a single moment, nor shown any discomfort in working all these. She prepared hot milk for her father in law, made noodles for others, served and then along with Nilesh, arranged for beds for us. Next morning when I woke up, it was quite a morning. Again she prepared tea for us, 2 times. cleaned last nights utensils, etc. Nilesh calmly helped her in her work. Later, she quickly took a bath and changed herself with another saree, which made her look quite homely, started preparing kheer, as it is a ritual. Later, she prepared breakfast for us. In my life, I never seen a girl, just married and came to in laws house, shown this much of maturity, freeness and sincerity towards the in laws and friends in 1st night of marriage.
I am really happy to have the opportunity to be with them and I believe that this couple will definitely LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER....
