The phone rings.
Me: Hello …
Deepa: Machan, Deepa here da …
Me: Hey Deepa !!! Long time !!! Whats up ?
Deepa: What are you doing tomorrow ?
Me: As usual, office ?
Deepa: And then ?
(By now I start wondering if it is Deepa’s b’day the next day but I was pretty sure it was not in October)
Me: And then ? hmmm … not sure when I’ll be able to wind up with work da … whats the matter ?
Deepa: Machan I am getting married tomorrow da …
Me: Whaaaaaat ? (My mom starts staring and I walked away with the phone)
Deepa: Ya da, we had planned it for December but now plans have changed, I’ll sms the address come tomorrow at 10 am sharp.
Me: No other work. I’ll be there.
Cut. Rewind.
My good friend from college, Deepa got married yesterday. Thanks to her I saw a registr ar’s office for the first time. After college Deepa joined Amazon and meeting her was almost rare. Deepa was a model, and went on to win some titles in Chennai and Kerala too i guess. She was an amazing drummer in the college days. Her mom makes some of the best non-veg dishes which he fought to feast while lectures were going on. The one incident in class that can make us laugh was during a class test. Wednesday evening I finally found some time after work and had gone out with my mom when the phone rang and the above conversation took place.
Back to present.
After a quick dozen calls with my friends we finally met up at Krishna’s place and we went way to early to the register office. Infact even the bride and groom had not come. The place reminded of the scene in Jillunu Oru Kadhal movie, but sans all the ruffians. But interesting.
It was a Christian wedding.There was a Pastor who solemnized the wedding after a long lecture. Then the garlands were exchanged, Paul tied the thaali, Deepa put the ring. Both signed the register. Fenn was the saatchi for all this (he signed the witness).
Deepa will soon be flying to the Emirates with her husband. Wish you a very happy married life. Padhinaarum petru (8 boys & 8 girls), have a good time. Unlike going to a relative’s wedding, a friend’s wedding is so much fun. You see so much joy in the friends face when they are getting ready for the next phase in life. And the best part is there is no one to bother you. You can shout, you can laugh and you can play in a friend’s wedding.
Two friends from my class have been married (separately of course) and my bestest friend too got married last December. All of a sudden it dawns on me that we guys are getting old. Oops, sikkirama enakku oru ponnu paakanum.
Finally you realize your own ancient-ness. 😛 Anyway, bestoluck with the ponnu paathu-fying!
and btw, it’s Registrar Office. 😛
