The D Day!!!!!

Na na karte I am finally taking the plunge TODAY!!! I am getting married ...today ...in a few hours ...which are soon going to fly away, like all the other days have been. So why am I at home writing a blog, while I should be away getting married? This is the deal --  I am not supposed to go out today the whole day except when the reception starts! All the cousins are busy with their really little kids and I do not have major reasons to stay with them. So I opted for a quiet time for myself. This just might be the calmness before the storm as they say.My lifestyle is going to undergo a change, the degree of which I am totally unaware about. My dressing sense, is going to go through an entire revolution atleast for the days when I will be in my sasural, which happens to be Ahmadabad. I will be a mellowed down agyakari bahu , which is opposite to the bindass tomboyish image I have been carrying along all this while. But right now I am focused on today. I want things to go smoothly which is seeming a bit difficult. There are, as I mentioned earlier, cousin sisters with  kids whom I am seeing after so long that its almost awkward. There is my aunt who hates the very sight of me and I am left wondering why is she even attending my wedding. So the relatives are bang on doing their job of criticizing and showing their displeasure for every little thing. Thank God of course for a few understanding ones who are helping with the unending arrangements. 

So You see, I am not at all in the "bridal" avtaar as yet although I have my hands and legs orange with henna and face yellow with haldi. I am hoping when I don my lehenga and stand up on the podium, I might start feeling bride-y. Right now, as I write this, my few moments of peace have gone for a toss with my mausi sitting at home with me who is hard of hearing and is watching TV at the loudest volume. So much for the little joys of  life!!

Anyway, the barat has arrived and they must have been welcomed by now, hopefully , without any glitches. I will sign off here now because a) I am too blocked to write anything else and b) I have packing and bathing to do. Hopefully there will be a next blog which I will write with a much calmer mind.
