Today is the day full of rituals at her wedding so we all are getting up early in the morning.
Today I wore a dark blue gown with elbow-length sleeves and white colour leggings and I wore a one matching dupatta and did the mascara for my eyes and gave the final touch to my look by putting on a lip gloss. I made a simple hairstyle by putting my hair in a hair clip and I let my other hair open.
I don't like lipstick so most of the time I would like to avoid putting lipstick on.
After getting ready for the ritual I meet Meera and she has worn a red colour gown with matching leggings and dupatta, in contrast, she has made a simple hairstyle for her hair and done little makeup.
We both then go where rituals are performed where we meet other relatives who come today.
I'm very bad at remembering the relatives whom I see rarely and Meera knew all the relatives by their name.
We meet them by touching their feet and saying 'Jay Mataji'. It's going well till I know the relatives.
The most expected compliment is that "Oh you grow up so early", " What are you studying now" and another one is "What are your future plans"
After getting admission in medical college all my relatives are happy and I said yes to all of them whom I know and even don't know about treating them free and well. The most common compliment was It's good that you're a doctor now. You will do our treatment when we fall sick. So booking of patients done in advance in family functions
In family functions, the most awkward situation is when I greet relatives when my mother tells me or Meera meets and they ask "Do you know me? Tell me who I am?"
Sometimes I guess the answer to these questions correctly and when I don't know I look at my mother or Meera and they just rescued me from the situation.
This time Meera helps me when I don't know the relatives and sometimes without knowing them I just meet them and when we go far from them I
ask Meera '' Who's that?''
and then she smiles and tells me Who's that and I sometimes recognise and sometimes not.
The first ceremony is 'Ganesh Sthapna' which is performed by my uncle and aunty by following the instructions of Pandit Ji. The ceremony is performed in the house. All women are seated in the house and men are seated outside the house.
Me and Meera sit in the chair with our other Sisters. We all cousins are seated in the group. We are busy doing little chit-chat.
The second ceremony is 'Mandap Muhurat'. Pandit Ji is busy saying shloka. My uncle and aunt are busy following the instructions of Pandit.
The ceremony is performed outside the house under the Mandap.
Relatives are seated in chairs. All males are seated in groups and females are seated in groups. Children are running from here to there and busy playing.
After these two ceremonies are finished, me and Meera get busy giving poses to the photographer. After that one more ceremony gets done and then we all cousins and all women who are there dance to the beat of Dhol music.
After that, we all had lunch. After lunch, we all cousins are seated in a group.
Meera is in a good mood. We all cousins are busy gossiping and then we start a conversation about the topic of love.
Everyone starts giving a definition of love according to their point of view.
Meera told us that ' For me, Love means taking care of your partner and always trying to make him happy.'
Janal said that ' Love is something that if it's one-sided it looks cool only in movies, not in reality because nothing is more painful than this in reality and if it's two-sided then nothing is great than that'
Sonal said that ' The first step of love is to trust your partner and if you love them but still can't trust them then it will lead to a love failure 💔'.
Neha said that ' Nowadays love is nothing more than doing a timepass with the other person by mutual understanding; they both do the time pass or people play with heart for their enjoyment so true love is a myth in today's era'.
And at the end, my turn came and I said that ' I do believe in Love and for me, love is something that gives you strength and makes you a better person than you were. That doesn't force you to become something that you are not. It means there is no need to find perfect love because no one is perfect but both can become perfect by growing up together and can learn from their own mistakes. In love you do care, understand, trust, sacrifice, remember them in your prayers, and support a person without expecting anything in return'.
I feel like without falling in love with anyone special I told too much about what love is.
My school friends and college friends all are in relationships except Neel and Devansh. So they both are in my company and I like to be in a single squad till I don't fall in love.
I love to tease my school friends and also Isha and Yashvi about their love life.
In this matter they can't tease me so I heard the same thing again and again that your time will also come dear. Don't think that We're not gonna tease you. I smiled at their comments.
I like to watch romantic movies, listen to romantic songs and read romantic novels.
What I don't like is the cheesy things that couples do in public places. When they pressurise to do something in the name of love. When they become over possessive in the name of love. I don't understand that kind of love. I told them What I knew about love and what I understood about what love is.
Our gossip continues for more than an hour.
When we were busy gossiping, my mother and aunty told us that another ritual was about to start so we all stopped talking and went to change our dresses for other rituals.I wear a light pink colour bandhani saree with a matching blouse. To wear a saree properly my mother helps me and I wear lightweight earrings in my ears and bangles in one hand and one beautiful bracelet on the other hand. I put my hair open and put it all on one side. I wear sandals which don't have too many heels.After dressing up properly I go to meet Meera and check if she is dressed up or not.When I reach her room she is busy getting ready and one woman from the beauty parlour is doing her makeup and another is doing hairstyle.When she saw me she commented that " You're looking beautiful in saree dear".I told her " Thanks for the compliment".She is in an orange saree very be
I wear a red Rajasthani Rajputana dress and my mother helps me set my dupatta. I wore ornaments suitable for my dress And had a simple hairstyle. I wear Mojadi on both of my legs. I put lipstick on my lips and do a little makeup to complete my look.My mother looks beautiful in a blue Rajasthani Rajputana dress and I compliment her that " you're looking, gorgeous mummy".She gives a smile and tells me that " You're looking beautiful dear. I hope someone's evil eye doesn't affect you "After getting dressed up properly I reached Meera's room and she was wearing her Mojadi. She looks beautiful in Maroon colour lehenga and greyish white colour full sleeve blouse and matching dupatta. Her hairstyle was perfect and her makeup looked great. Two - three girls from the parlour came to prepare her for this function. She looks very beautiful.I told her, " Meera, you're looking gorgeous dear."
That person whom I don't know looks young in age. He is in a pink colour kurta which has an elbow length sleeve and on that, he has a light pink colour coty and white colour pajama. He has a black thread band on his wrist on the right hand and he has a watch on the left hand. He has worn Mojadi on his legs. He is tall, handsome, and has a beard. He takes the mike and starts singing a song on the love of daughter and Father in the Gujarati language. Music is playing in the background on the stage by a music band. He sings beautifully and we all listen to it carefully. The lyrics of the song are amazing and Meera starts crying while listening to this song. I hug her and try to calm her down. I also cried while I was listening to that song and other people in the audience also had tears in their eyes. Me and Meera both cried and people who were trying to calm us also had tears in their eyes. Meera's father and mother are also crying.Lyrics of that song are about w
It's 2:30 a.m at night. My mind is still busy thinking about him. I didn't think about this much in my past for anyone and not for someone whom I don't know.I want to give him a compliment about his singing. I want to tell him that I love his singing and his performance tonight.He looks handsome and I usually like a guy with a beard and he looks more handsome in his beard. I usually don't get attracted by looks. I got attracted by a person's talent, intelligence and character.In this matter I know one thing for sure that I'm attracted by his talent more than his looks. He looks handsome, but His talent is the main factor that made me think about him because I don't know other factors about him. I feel like I'm interested to know more about him.When I overthink, no matter how hard I try to sleep, I can't sleep easily and tonight I am thinking too much about someone who doesn't even know me.&
After seeing Meera I think that she would take my side and get angry at him for shouting at me when we both are responsible for this thing.When she sees me like that she starts laughing and that guy has an expression of surprise on his face and I know why she is laughing but I'm not in the mood to laugh.Meera told him to calm down and meet her later after that he left that place.I then entered Meera's room. I'm frustrated and my morning mood has just gotten spoiled.I asked her to please stop laughing whenever I spill something on me or spoil the work. She first checks that I'm alright or not and then she used to just laugh and her smile makes me forget what I did.But this time my Kurti gets spoiled before the ceremony and someone is shouting at me not for my loss but for the fear that it doesn't affect their clothes.She gave me another dress s
In the kitchen, she drinks the juice and this time my mother give her juice and when she gets to know that what happened before she doesn't have any shocks expression on her face and she told only that "Thanks to God you didn't spoil Aarav's clothes because if you do that what will he wear" I was like what?? My own mother has to worry about his clothes more than mine. So I get irritated and told that " Mummy you're worrying about him instead of me and this time my clothes get spoiled not his and he needs to look around also because if he was careful this won't happen" and mummy told me that " Oh dear it's not new for me that your dress gets spoiled because of many things and you looks beautiful in Meera's clothes now and it's perfect feet on you. "I'm not in the mood to argue with my mother anymore so I completely shut my mouth and my mother exited the kitchen. She told Meera to hurry up because the first ceremony is about to start.
Meera sat on the chair under the Wedding Mandap and I sat beside her to take care of her and her look.All the relatives are seated surrounding the Wedding Mandap. Children are running from here to there, busy in playing and in their own worlds.Females are seated in the groups busy talking with each other.Males are seated in groups and busy talking with each other.My brother and other cousin brothers, uncles and my father are busy with arrangements.I looked around the Wedding Mandap but I couldn't find Aarav. I feel relaxed and relieved that now I don't need to ignore him.I hope I don't see him again today and he also won't find me and talk with me.I have to stay away from him tonight only then Tomorrow I have to go back to my home. I will get busy in my life again.My cousin sist
He tells me that" Hey, listen, just drink this water if you need it."And in my mind, it's like many thoughts are going on like why is he offering me water now and he is the same guy who gets angry with me in the morning. In the morning he was behaving like an angry jerk and right now he is giving me water like a gentleman who cares for me without even knowing me when I get busy in thinking about this he seat beside me before I again get lost in my thoughts he gives me a glass of water again and this time I just take that without thinking of other things and drinks that water.He starts saying " I'm not good at giving company to someone and especially in this kind of situation but I feel like I should sit here and talk with you. I hope that you don't mind it".His words are much different than I actually thought about him and I'm feeling lonely in the house full of people including my siblings because today is the day wh
