My Broz Wedding - Phase 1

Rightly said by Chetan Bhagat that an Indian marriage is not a marriage of bride and groom but two families/culture/custom etc. One of the most important events in the life of Indians - Marriage. With even a single kilometer difference the customs change. Leobond in this post decribes one such wedding. Its raining cats and dogs in Mumbai, as we say they are tooooo special...I had to collect the groomz SHERVANI and rains were non-stop. I ran to the shop early morning all set, bags packed for the wedding!!!One more thing, finally my bhullakad buddy decided to accept the token I bought for him....Now after finishing work I reached home too late that day and was bed like a dead soul. Early morning I was ready to leave for the airport, very sceptical in mind that te flite does not get delayed coz of rains!!! I was happy coz I had to meet Tutu...I was sad coz it was for the first time in history that Lavi not not there in the airport when my flite landed...I was missing all the masti which I used to do...Thankfully the flite was on time and i slept all through the journey!!! As soon as I landed in Delhi, I took a cab and straight went to Tuts office to pick her up so that we all could have lunch together...Maa was waiting for us and guess wat------KHEER !!! Thats wat the Leobond is very fond of!!! When I saw Tuts, I was happy and the moment I crossed my 1st coy, I had the same feeling of belongingness which I never developed with CAP...After eating , i rushed to the station coz the wedding was at my ancestral place Allahabad. I was waiting at the station and so thrilled to meet my wholeeeeeeeeeeeeee family after such a long time...I was waiting 4r 12 midnite coz dat is when I was about to reach allahabad. The train journey was  soo soo..as usual like a chatter box I was friends with all...Wen Allahabad arrived, I was thrilled when I heard my Bro shout"Bitti"- thats what everyone calls Leobond at home...Allahabad as we call it -THE SANGAM CITY, is a place very different from Mumbai ,Delhi ..i mean the metros...Life still there follows its own pace, people still there spend 2-3 hours at the chai tapri,read newspaper for an hour to start their day..In short a nice peacful life ....Oh coming back  to the point, Surprisingly, bro and sis were wearing the same coloured Tzzzzzzzzzzz.....hehehhhee... When I searched home I saw all my cousins.... badi mummy and all of them awake and was very happy to see the.... One important member who needs introduction here is -DIESEL....this is wat everyone calls the lady in early 40's ...with a cute smile on her face which was so serene that I felt that this world also has such people...I shouted and chatted with all and the house was full on with me screaming here and there in my shrilling voice and finally got to sleep with my mom after say ages...hehehe...The Leobond dies to live such moments when i can lie on my mumz arms and sleep....The next morning when I woke up I knew that the coming days are going to be very hectic...It was 18th - the day of Upnayan in Brahmins....a ritual which gives the guz a real license of being a brahmin...hehehee...I was busy deciding the menu for al the coming days in the house...Oh forgot to mention about my cutest Chutke NISHTHA(Madhoo)...Nishtha & I are neighbours in Allhabad but more like sisters-the most important thing between us is that we shhare the same bday-7th AUG ...so in short Leobond Junior...hehheee..We share all common traits....After the upnayan got over, I was supposed to acompany Papa to MILAN palace ...the venue for other function plus wedding in Allahabad...I met Vibhu/Alok bhaiya -the Kanya Party and decided the menu for TILAK & Wedding...Finally when I came home it was 11 and the dance practice session for ladies sangeet started....With few steps here and there we decided that we were horrible when it came to dancing still we did not decide to drop the idea...hehehehe....With this phase 1 ends...more in the next phases to come...To be Contd....

Marriage : We all want Admission in this Institution!!!

We have been hearing from our elders that life is divided into phases and so we should enjoy each and every phase. Now this is going to be a thought provoking because we really dont know what triggers the Admission in this admssion- 'The Eligibilty Criteria'. The criteria for admisssion in Schools/Colleges is known to all but this Institution of Marriage is a bit risky because its the question of spending our life with someone who is sometimes known and sometimes unknown to you. It like playing a gamble with your life that too with so much fun and frolic. As the Leobond moves on in life, I see myself growing , there is one major event in my life -My bro's Wedding. He's elder to me-have learnt to walk holding his fingers..:):)...Have done so many mischiefs to trouble mamma...Have been sad when he got a bigger chocolate than me in childhood, have got angry when I was scolded and he wasnt!!...hehehee Always forgetting the fact that hez the one I shall rely on him for the rest of my life...My life revolves around my big bro and remembering each and every moment of fights/anger/arguements since childhood I feel too emotional. All my maths problems were taught by him;physics was made so easy for me; not scolding me even he knew that I was throwing milk in the sink everyday...Waiting for him to come back from college and smiling at him when caught doing eny mischief. When Mamma used to get angry, I used to hide behind him expecting that he would save me. I used to sit behind his bicycle when he used to ride one. When he calls me -"My Laddoo", i cant stop giving the huge close up smile. Rakhi always has been close to heart, into that lifeof mine, I want my BAU to take admission in this new Institution and move into the next phase of his life. My idea of Perfect Couple are my -PAPA -MAA, as usual for all kids its their parents!!! After them I see my cute lil Lovebirds -Bau & Golu(Bhabhi) as the one who are full of love and sweetness..The Leobond is learning to understand that "Marriage " is an important institution and a huge admission fee of emotions is required. 23rd June is the wedding date and a very special day of my life...Three Cheers to the new Couple...:):)

Something which we can never Conquer -Death!!!

We all are born on this earth and pass through various phases in life which fills us with all kind of emotions-sad/joy/....We are happy when our dreams-can be short term or long term( and as usual our desires never die out) are fulfilled. The Leobond is no different. But right from the childhood we are taught some values which we need to follow in order to become a good human being. 'We should never cheat', 'Honesty is teh best policy' etc but have we ever imagined we all do our duties respective to set criterion defined by NOONE!!!All of a sudden one family member leaves us and we all mourn foe him knowing that we will never be able to be with that person..The only thing we have is 'MEMORIES' which fade with TIME!!! When we all know the end, why do we get sad with materialistic things like -Not getting promotion,exams mein good marks nahi aaye...The Leobond thinks -We all should face challenges in life, WITHOUT HURTING ANYONE....Being content with what we have never behave like COWARDS....We all live for ourselevs but we should try and take out little time from the short span of our tenure on this beautiful planet EARTH and bring smile on others face....Coz whatever be the reason....We all will have an end which is the ULTIMATE truth....So ....lets all wake up...stop cribbing and live happily with small small dreams anddddddddddddd try bring a smile on others face by the way we can!!!!

Cheers
Leobond
