This post is dedicated to my best friend Amisha..... The woman who knows me much better than I do my self. I love you Sweetheart..muaaahhh...
Here I am sitting at her engagement party. I am super excited, more than her (I guess). I reach the venue all decked up and try to locate the bride. Completely unaware of the setting I find myself a seat and start looking out for the princess in the crowd. Suddenly I see a couple walking towards the podium. For me the moment actually stood still. Amisha was looking fabulous. Like any blushing embarrassed bride she walked towards the stage and wondered whats next. She was escorted by her family to a beautiful bridal chair. She sat there a little clueless, confused. Next to a man she just met. A man who will be her husband. I was all blushing and happy for her. A little emotional too. We had waited this for this moment our entire life and we were right there.
Suddenly, my mind is distracted, the caterer walked in front of me carrying amazing fried corn cheese balls. Having just recovered from jaundice I was advised to maintain a strict diet and not eat any outside food. So when I give up my very strong will, its the caterer to be blamed and its entirely his fault. I pick up just one to try and I am already in fried food heaven. The caterer again tempted me and I gobbled up more. I lost count and gave up. This was followed by chilly cheese toast, Hot Kesar milk, rabdi ... Omgggg.... everything that I wanted so desperately. I am now looking for a lawyer to file a case of mental harassment against the caterer.
Coming back to the main topic the engagement. Amisha was looking as lost as anyone would be. All I did was occasionally asked her to smile, which that girl was trying very hard to. All this got me to think about the stress that a girl has to go through on her wedding day. It looks like a military parade. Get up .. Sit down.. Put the ring. ... cut the cake ......sit down..
It's a beautiful day, for her for, her fiancee. Let them relax , understand, breathe in the moments.
Having said that I am very very happy for her. I have seen her struggle, her tears, her love , everything and it just makes me feel like a very proud parent that my best friend is finally settling down with the man that she wants to. All the best dear. You both make an amazing couple!!!!
OMG here he comes again.. this time he set up an entire buffet. I take a glass of chaas and search for my lawyers number.
