Out of the various stages of life of a man according to the hindu scriptures "Grahastha" is said to be the most important one as at this stage is when the whole purpose of ones existence i.e reproduction begins. Among the various duties of a man the responsibility of procreating and producing an offspring and taking forward the family line is of prime importance. Marriage is therefore the holiest event which marks the beginning of a wonderful journey ahead which learned men have described as a must for every person to experience. true that some people have bitter experiences, some sour and some not so sweet. but nonetheless it is an experience everyone falls for if you have not taken the path of celibacy much before the equation of marriage is laid in front of you. Being the foodie I am ,I would always compare anything in this world with food and marriage dos not escape it too. I describe marriage as a grape in front of u, depending on your luck and your karma, you might get a sour/bitter/bland &tasteless/spoilt from within or SWEET. and in my case I got a sweeeeeet one.
YES, its true!!! I am officially married now!!! December 5 witnessed me entering into an wedlock with Vathika .Rituals started from 4 december with a family get together t bharat scouts and guide bhavan at Mangalore which had some fun games,introduction of families and a tabla performance by vathika with renowned Sitar exponent Devdas Pai and follwed by a traditional Colombe jevan dinner. 5th morning had the orthodox marriage rituals like edurukansani, urad muhurtha, kashi yatra followed by lunch.
Marriage muhurthum was godhuli lagnam at 1805 hrs and was held at Dr.TMA Pai International Convention Centre in Mangalore and was attended by over 3300 people. The celebration was out of the world, only glitch being mother-in- law being a little ill with high fever and shivering which later was diagnosed to be malaria. Other than that the ceremony was nothing less than a dream in a fairy tale (perfect and fantastic).
Phew.. so here i am ...no more single.. married and happy..and more regularly blogging .. the next few blogs to appear will be more of a travelogue with details of the wonderful getaway we had in what is termed as honeymoon by the westerners...
So signing off ... till then happy readihng!!!
