Of laziness and work-to-do

Dear Diary,

Good Morning...

I missed college today as there was so much to do for the wedding..and also cz i was feeling sleepy. The dresses are still at the boutique's and so much more needs to be checked and done and tried and blah blah.. I am also pretty tensed about my exams for i have not studied a bit and after the wedding and my birthday i would hardly have two-weeks time to mug up all the Acts, and sections and cases and theories and ok..lets not get started on this topic for there is no end to it.

Frankly, I got nothing much to post today. Just that I realised I could directly post from my my gmail account and I feel like trying it out.

Thankfully I am better healthwise these days and have shifted back to my place. There is so much writing that I want to do but don't have anytime for. Come December I am going to try and give shape to the ideas in my head...most of them on a standby, in the Drafts folder of my email account or my cellphone. :)

There is also some non fiction stuff that I want to write. About news, politics and social issues basically. And yeah..there was also that diploma course in constitutional law that i was so keen in doing. Didn't get the time to visit the institute. Bah.

So.. next week this day is my birthday. Hmm... Neha turns 22. Cute, innit? Scary too. Monday..hmm.. i was born on a Monday too. Charlotte Bronte is quoted as saying 'as unromantic as a monday morning'..oh..what does she know? heh.. If it were in my hands I would postpone my birthday to come after the exams. JLT.

Ok, now I guess enough of blabbering.. I should get up and get set to do allll that needs to be done. Afterall..the Great Indian Wedding is about to commence. :)

But first lemme tell you the programmes:

Tomorrow : Haldhaath ie.. a paste of haldi chandan etc is applied on to the bride.. so as to prepare her for the wedding and get her all beautiful and gorgeous.

Day After: In the morning it is Bhaat and Teeka Ceremony. ie..the Mamas of the bride give her blessings and gifts and money as their contribution to the wedding

The same day in afternoon: Mehendi..which is basically applying henna on the palms of all girls..including yours truly 

The same day in the evening : Ladies Sangeet which is actually Ladies and Gentleman Sangeet.. followed by DJ party..dancefloor and all

The Next day ie.. wedding day.. well, wedding..which involves the Jai Mala, Phere (seven-steps around the Holy-Fire), delectable delights, dancefloor, video camera person putting people in limelight, playing hosts (we are the ladkiwala you see), and making the guests feel at home, lotsa small rasams which i dont know nothing about, and then the Vidaai..all this while trying to hold on to my saree like I would to my dear life..

And most importantly in the background all these 3 days would be played and sung and hummed -- the traditional Rajasthani and Marwadi folk geet sangeet..which involves lyrics we can barely understand..but very nice music..without which no wedding could be complete.

OK, now finally time to shirk the lethargy..carpe diem! here i come..
