Oh…I am bored of writing blogs about marriages :-( . What else can I do? Just before the eventful year (not so eventful for me) dies, I attended yet another or perhaps the most wonderful wedding that I have ever been to. Largely it may have been due to the company I had during the day, who were as dear and wonderful as the bride and groom themselves or may be it’s the first wedding of my batch-mets which made it much more exciting. Let’s not forget that they looked as ready to be married as I myself. (This is sarcastic, I am mentioning explicitly to stay on a safer side :-) ) The time flew by and the day passed with the blink of an eye. However the laughter, fun and sheer joy couldn’t prevent me from wondering the more serious aspects of the event.
Though by looking at the faces of my friends I marked only happiness, I wondered whether they were nervous. I certainly was!!! The idea of spending rest of our lives with a person was not new to me, yet thinking about it realistically was surely scary. Think about it- There is no turning back. You can’t drop it like a hobby and you have to live with this decision through the most beautiful sunsets and worst of the storms. Again looking from another perspective, living together for the whole life may not be as difficult as finding the person itself. And when you do, you would want it again and again and one life wouldn’t be enough. (It’s my belief and may not be practical…so you can laugh at it)
I have always kind of wondered what makes life worth living. And the answers always have boiled down to one word through different means. Its “passion”. You can be passionate about painting, reading or career, but what better could be than being passionately attached to another person and live together. Well certainly sounds corny though.
Coming back to Som and Ruchi (The groom and the bride) Wait a minute!!! Did I forget to mention the main characters and wrote half the blog?? Seriously my writing skills are degrading. Well coming back to them, I was thinking about those two classmets and how I met them first time seven years back. It certainly doesn’t feel that long ago though. Som was as always the perfect gentleman with unusual musical talent and one of my inspirations to be always humble.( I am not sure how much I followed him). For Ruchi I have got two things, “Singing sensation” and “Basanti”. (To know the Basanti tale please call me before you forget. I am sure most NISTIANS must be remembering it till now) Honestly they both made me realize how grownups we have become and still how much fun we still have left. Their out of blue dance after reception was cute (Som was clumsy though) and the finishing two songs sung by Ruchi was awesome. (I had to face the displeasure of Som for torturing his newly wed wife by making her sing. Well his brother was another culprit who escaped the wrath, but I am sure he will have his day.)
To end this slowly becoming boring blog, I would say it was indeed a wonderful and eye opening event which not only gave me opportunity to catch up my old dear friends but make new wonderful ones too!!!! :-)
