It was on Sunday, February 17th 2013 at 8:00 am, my mom woke me up so quickly but i am so sleepy at that time. After my breakfast, I became so fresh and I had a bath and i got ready immediately, but mom and dad are already ready. It was a very special day because one of my friends in Little Rock Indian School and my classmate, Neeha is getting married. She was getting married to a boy named Fardan. She was with me when we were in 8F and we used 2 share writing notes. Then later, I was dressed up for the function and then we left home at 10 a.m. Afterwards, Rehana aunty and Fazal chacha came to our car but most of the relatives went to the bus for the baraat. The journey from Santhekatte to Barkur was a 1 1/2 hour journey. Afterwards, we reached Barkur for the wedding.
Normally, our weddings are held at marriage halls but this wedding was held at her home. I was waiting for Neeha to come out of the house but here sister Nisfa and her two brothers are outside. At approximately 11:30, Neeha came out of her house and the nikah started. After the nikah was over, I met Neeha and I congratulated and met her after 8 long years. Then later I met two of her friends, Vasanti Nayak and Sheekha Sid, also from Little Rock and for the second time, i have been reunited with my school friends and even Sharel's mom came for the wedding. Vasanti Nayak was currently an architect and she recently graduated from Manipal School of Architecture and Planning at Manipal University whereas Sheekha Sid did her MBA in Human Resources at Nitte Mahalinga Adyantia Memorial Institiute of Technology (even i did my MBA in Human resources at Sikkim Manipal University). The first time I had a school reunion during weddings was with Riya Mathias during Hanan's wedding. She was my friend class 7F and 9F and she was Hanan's neighbour. Afterwards we had lunch, the main staple of our weddings are Briyani (normally chicken/mutton), chicken fry, raita, curry (chicken/mutton), jalebi, ice cream and cold drink.
After the lunch was over, Vasanti and Sheekha called me for the photo session. Immediately after my mom took kheer, I was ready and excited. Then I told mom to take the photo via my recently bought Samsung Galaxy Ace cell phone (Neeha has Gio), Vasanti, Sheekha and me stood alongside Neeha and the photo session begins.
After the photosession was over, Vasanti and Sheekha went back to their respectives homes, and now the photo session with me and Neeha.
After a memorable photosession with Neeha, i went back home with mom and dad, Fazal Chacha and Rehana aunty. We dropped Fazal chacha near the Santhekatte bus stand and Rehana aunty near her house. After we reached home, we freshen ourselves and took rest and this is one of the most memorable days ever.

Hi Suhyla,
ReplyDeleteIt was really nice reading your blog about all our school friends after all these years. Feels like I was right there to experience it. Beautifully written, would love to hear more from you. Lots of Love, Roshni
