It’d be safe to say that weddings are very much like a Bollywood movie – there’s tears, there’s music and there’s starring & supporting cast. There will be sourness, bitterness & sweetness – all fighting to blend together, like a green mango chutney perhaps.
Months & months of planning and the events come to an end in a flash – just like that. Again, very much like a movie - that takes months of preparation but lasts a mere couple of hours.
But when the youngest & dearest of your cousins have gotten married now & the party’s ending, over or completely dead, there you are, standing by your car with its radio on, absent-mindedly two-stepping to the beat, sipping in your cup of tea with your eyes closed in complete denial, that it’s all over & once you open them you’ll be staring in the face of the real world, wondering when would you get to see these set of people next, the people you grew up with.
Vacation’s over, your job awaits you.
