 In the morning, my room became the most messy one as I was getting ready for my cousin's wedding. As usual, the toughest job called hairstyling worked for me at the last. It was after years we had a grand wedding in the village. According to village traditions, grand doesn't mean how much decoration or other things; it all means about the number of people attending the wedding. We departed from the groom's home, and it was actually a long journey, and I was yarning most of the time because I didn't sleep properly. Somehow we reached the destination. But the problem was we reached the place but the groom didn't arrived there. We were waiting outside the church, and the rain started to shower him drop by drop. This is called blessing rain in the native country, where when the groom arrives in the front yard of the church, there will be little, tiny drops that bless him—a belief of our native. As I saw him as a groom, I could remember a schoolboy who went to morning c

Pre wedding celebration

 Once the Sunday mass got completed I attended my Sunday class and then arrived at home. I refreshed myself and then went to my cousins home for the pre wedding celebration. It is known as 'koperuku' in Tamil. Its a traditional event where the neighbours and relatives would come to the groom's home and have food. When I went there I guessed my cousins might be there but they didn't. Unexpectedly my aunt was there and I joined with her. We had a prayer session and then people started arriving at home. We had our lunch and then continuing chit chat sessions. I had a good time with my cousins and nephew's. It's been after 5 years I attended a function like this and yeah again an unforgettable day filled with beautiful memories.

The Excitement

 In preparation of a cousin's wedding, most of the family members arrived in the native country today. We cousins went to visit our little nephew, and she was not in a mood to play with us. She started crying when my brother-in-law tried to take her from her grandfather for a walk in the front yard. Then people around her tried to calm her down, and she wasn't in a mode of enjoying. Then my BIL started the session of roasting my SIL as they were college friends. That was actually in an extreme range because she is a singer. I even got a stomach ache due to extreme laughter. After a long laughing session, we departed from there. There is eagerness of waiting for the wedding because that used to be the place we could meet most of our family members and get introduced to each other. After my cousin's (sister's) wedding, this will be the next one I am so excited about. A typical Kanniyakumari wedding is something that I miss more during my stay in Chennai. It actually give

If Sun could communicate

 It was early morning, and my mom asked me to help her dry the products for the third day. As she was spreading them on the terrace, I sat down with the umbrella as it was so hot there. At that time I was seeing the sun with naked eyes, and when I turned my look into another place, I could feel a blank blanket in my eyes. I went down and took my mobile to shoot some clips of sun. If Sun could speak, it would surely ask me if I had any sense because I suffered so hard to record a single perfect video. Then I didn't came down because I merged myself in recording the nature. After an hour, I got a call from my mom and she asked me to come down.

Comfortable burdens

 During my schooling in high school, I used to travel by transport bus. It was the biggest task because there is an arts college on the next compound of our school. There are days where the school leaves at 3.45 and we reach home at 5.15. The bus stop is in front of our school, but most of the time the bus drivers used to stop the bus in front of the college compound, and the school students used to run to catch the bus. There were only a few buses that stopped at the bus stop. Even at that time, as the stop was one of the crowded ones, we struggled so much to get on the bus. There are days of traveling on footboard. Many times we don't even have a proper handle to grip ourselves, and mostly I used to hold my friends hands. I couldn't think of the trust that I have in them at those moments. Looking at many accidents that had happened like this in recent times, I thank God for saving me. The next step after getting into the bus was handling our bags. There are many times we were

The Impatience

 Having an unproductive day, I was disturbing my mom for most of the time. After having my lunch, I switched on the TV, and it shows no signal for the past three days. Then I went to my room and laid on the bed, but I couldn't sleep. Then I got up from it and took the products for drying, and then again I tried to sleep, but I couldn't. Secretly, I went to the earthenware, in which salty, spicy mangoes were there. It was not that easy to open it without any noise and close it the same as it was. Then I went to the backyard to see if the coriander seeds that I sown had sprouted out or not. There was no sign of any sprouting, and I picked a spoon and slowly moved the soil to see whether they sprouted inside the soil. Again, no sign of sprouting. Then I closed the seeds with the soil. This is me, from the young age, being very impatient with the sowning.

When Sun and Rain have an agreement

 As I was going through my novel, my mom called me to take the cereal and chili that were spread on the terrace to dry. This is actually common in villages where people only use ready-made powder in urgent situations, and the rest of the time they all dry out the products and powder them in mills and use them for cooking purposes. And it's been two weeks we are trying to dry out the things, but the weather was not in a condition of cooperating for our plan. Today it was around 3 o'clock, and I was asked by my mom to take the things from the terrace. I thought of saying no to her, and I looked at the sky, and it said that soon it's going to shower on the land. I went with my mom, and we were surprised to see the rain along with the bright sun beam. There was salty mango spread to get dried out, and I was eating them without caring about the rain. I could guess my mamma's angry, so I stopped eating and helped her as much I could.
