Rab Ne Bana Di Ghodi - II

Ladize and Gentalman,

I, PP, am back. I am still in the well and am hoping that you continue to remain in the well as well. Sorry, delay happened in story telling as there was customer work. Now thoughts are back in mind and so I am back.

After saying bye to Ghodi, marrij proceshan entered marrij hall. Gud decorashan was decorated and few notty children were running around disturbing chairs. Some local Pushkar doggies also had come and notty children were beating them. Few guests were sitting idling waiting for food que to get lesser, so many hungry peepul were attacking cooker and his team that cooker became pressure cooker. Running around with utencils, with 2 hands, he was giving 6 type food to 6 people simultaneously. Everybody like his food and after success in my marrij, he became quite a prestige cooker in Ajmer.

My frands took me to marrij podeam, where two big decorashan chairs were put. After seeing accu-pressure from Ghodi spine, I did not want to sit anymore. But this time, chair was nicely cotton filled and even had soft cover, so I sat down and waited for Ms MK to come. Then I saw Ms MK with family peepul coming towards podeam with garland in her hand. Family peepul had done fashion with passion and all cameraman ran to shoot them. Ms MK came, garland ceremoney was done, guests who had finished food, came and gave money. The food que was not getting lesser and I was worried that no food will be left for me and Ms MK. After sitting in podeam for 1 hour, some frand remembered that we were hungry also, and so they took us to food table. With so many peepul around, laughing, noisying, I couldn’t eat anything.

Then came phera ceremoney. Famus Pandit came to do phera and he started with big big mantras. We sat down on floor, again making me remember Ghodi. Pandit spoke Mantra for 1 hr, then light up the phera fire for half hour, then again started with mantra. I asked Pandit lets do phera, but he said no no, first lets pray to all gods. Hindu religion has 64 million gods and I thought this Pandit will now take many days to pray to all. Another 30 minutes and then he said groom mantras are finished, now its time for bride mantras. Pandit wanted to give extra value for my father’s money. But I gave him some more money and said lets do phera now. Pandit agreed to cut down bride mantra by 1 hr and then we started phera. Ms MK wanted to walk slow, but I wanted to run. Finally with some adjustment between our speeds, we finished entire phera ceremoney in 4 hrs. It was 3 in the night and again some function was there at 6 AM, we were very tired and couldn’t rest that night at all.

Marrij supposed to be happy affair, but what I remember is Ghodi spine, no food, long painful hungry ceremoney and everybody else seeming happy for our marrij except me and Ms MK. Now I know why divorce rate in India is so low, who would want to marry again with so much pain.

And so the story ends, I say Ta Ta to all and wish you remain forever in the well.
