Barely two days after the wedding
and I have stepped into yet another one right away. My decision is to ignore
past and possible future trends, reconcile and get involved. Early morning I
was at our Tulkula’s residence with my eldest aunt to decide on an auspicious date for the reception. We now have
May 3rd fixed for the same and preparations have now begun in full
swing. I will be heading back to Delhi sometime next week so I need to squeeze
in whatever I can during this period and then do the rest from the capital
itself.
Sitting in that cosy room,
patiently waiting for Tulkula as he
skimmed through few sheets looking for a possible date, I realized how neck
deep in tradition all of us are. No matter how many branded clothes we wear or how many leather bags we carry, at the end of the day we
come back to our roots. Loptas and
dates are very important. I would never want to go against my stars and take a
chance. Same is the case with the rest for sure. Over the past two years, I
seem to have entered a new phase wherein my mother’s knowledge is slowly being
transferred to me. As children, we sometimes ridiculed some of the things that
she believed in but today we stand behind her a hundred percent.
In the next two months I have to
complete four chapters which seems like a mammoth task right now but I know I
will get there soon enough. My summer itinerary has already been chalked out so
now all that remains to be done is to take it a day at a time and get to the
end point.
