I was waiting nervously for the cameraman, aware that there were eyes scanning me head to toe; for they were curious to know who is the new "Bahu" of Sinha family. In this state of mind I was getting various instructions from behind. To wait or to move towards the podium where we were to have our "Jaimal" ceremony. Someone came and gave me a "Jaimal" in my hand and someone instructed me to walk and I started walking. Today when I look at the photos during this walk, I am amazed why I held the "Jaimal" like that; as if I was ready to bell my cat :). It's just our subconscious mind. I saw so many brides holding it that way so I did the same.
Well, this post is not a detailed description of my wedding; it's about few incidents - good ones - which I can never forget. Once such fond memory is of a moment when I started walking towards the podium. While I nervously started, instructed to walk slowly, I remotely heard a song starting to play too... "Jab se tere Naina .... Mere Naino Se... Laage Re..." I started concentrating on it.. and only on it. I was elated from inside.. The song created the perfect mood for the situation and made those few moments of my walk towards my destiny very memorable until my focus shifted from the song to Sudhanshu....
Later I was told by Sudhanshu that he had instructed the orchestra specially to play this song when I arrive. This small information made those few moments of walk even more special.
Another such exhilarating incident is very recent and I can visualize it every day since I am here in Pune; the last evening in Gurgaon before I came to Pune. Sudhanshu and I had a small scuffle and after that I went to market to finish off a few last moment tasks. Besides completing my work, I bought a Barbeque stand for Sudhanshu since he wanted to buy it for a very long time. I reached home and asked Sudhanshu to guess; he guessed it immediately and I still wonder how he did it. Anyways he was so happy and touched (it showed on his face) and got so excited that he immediately planned to go and get the marinated stuff... and do the barbeque tonight itself. I was happy to see the thrill and excited to execute it. We bought the marinated chicken.
On Jan 2nd 2009, it was extremely cold and we sat in the balcony of our apartment for the Barbeque. Although initially we struggled to light the coal but eventually sat in the comfort of the heat coming from coal and barbequed with lot of fun. We all had one of the loveliest chicken / kabab barbequed. It tasted so nice probably because of so many emotions around it.
Well, I wonder sometimes, why some incidents leave an impact on your conscious and subconscious mind!! It could be probably because of its "unexpected" or "unplanned" nature at a given situation or probably because of the mixture of emotions surrounding it. Nevertheless, they are special and always bring a smile.
