Old and on the back Burner

My first cousin sister draped in not so ethnic modern blue Benarasi Sari looked eloquent as a newlywed bride on her reception. I must admit that she managed the embellished status quite well and was all ready for a great foray with a much-needed virtual Talisman in toe.

She greeted every stranger with a wide smile, which translated her open mindedness for anything new and meaningful. Our family was in all praise for her and her parents were judiciously poignant to keep the gravity of the situation intact. How can a new bride deny anybody for a photo session that too when you are not very clear what relevance will that particular person hold in the coming future days when you are offshore. Her in-laws family sat close to her in regular intervals just to check how genuinely is their boy blessed.

I just can’t be so lenient by calling the groom a charmer but certainly an Ice breaker. First, i thought he had a legible crash course of maintaining the right balance but with time, he proved us all wrong and evolved as a person who would never demonstrate or would imitate dichotomy of principal.

The evening can be marked as full on display of colour, glitter of yellow metal or for that matter anything but not prosaic. I just saw an old woman peeping through the jovial array, which almost farmed like an impregnable wall. The dignified black background of a magnified theatre always have non performing crewmembers behind it to aggravate performance under the spot light.

I craned our Grand Maa from the obscure clutter and helped her to climb down.
