Where my Memories lies

Wedding season is On and one can hear the wedding bell and 'mere yaar ki shadi hai' all around the city. Living at the center of city gives a benefit of participating in all wedding processions even without any invitation. Ahem..ahem.. don't  get me wrong, its not like that scene from 3 Idiot if you remember.

Funny isn't it..?? I heard five of my colleague and friends had got engaged and getting married this season, and surprisingly not all are the girls..:O :O. Some of  my mates had started their married life last year too. I pity them, honestly..(khush bhi hun bhai unke liye..they will do all those things which we secretly dream about ;) )

Now it seems that times are changing and I have no option but to move with these times. There was a time when at relative's wedding, all I was concerned was the number of flowers put on the entry way, plucking them, playing catch-catch with them....aah!!

Then came the time when all I was concerned was if the wedding had DJ so that we all could dance and dance and dance...many a times food also one of the factors :P

And now I see my friends with a helpless expression on their faces, some professionally settled and some not, yet inevitably tied to this new beginning of their life or new bondage! Don't know!! I wonder that except bride and groom, everyone would be happier than them on the occasion!!.

I used to watch Captain Vyom, the Mogli, Shaktimaan ..then watching MTV, VChannel...and now im advised to watch CNBC, NDTV not that I hate watching them but ..but dunno...!!

Im not relishing this change. Some say you "gradually" become mature but yaar it aint that gradual for me. I'm getting sudden boosts and bursts from people around to leave my habits and behave sanely!!

Haila..I want this time to stop ticking, the whole new outrageous, tough, pessimist and harsh world awaits for me, and I want to be cocooned as long as its possible for me. Why sometimes expectations are so damn necessary??

Well on a good note for every friend of mine who is getting married this year may you always feel as close as you do this day. May your lives be graced with good health. May you always find happiness in your home, and may it be a refuge from the storms of life. May your love grow ever stronger as you share your lives together, and may your future be even more wonderful than you dreamed possible.
