i got married last night...

It was Thursday evening... and I was having my evening tea with garam garam bhajiya...

My mom told me to get ready fast as the guests will start coming in soon...

I asked her what was the occasion...

and she gave me a mysterious smile and went in the other room to get ready...

she came out wearing chaniya choli... and told dad to check whether the dandiyas were in place... and also the DJ was in...

I was like vey happy... :-)
but also puzzled as there was no reason to keep Dandiya at my place... :-(

The very next moment... my cousins (Vimal, Nilesh and Tushar) came and took me to the next room and they asked me to wear the traditional dress...

I was never comfortable in traditional dress... I always liked to wear casuals and jeans... etc...

But when I refused to wear the traditional dress...

Vimal told me that... abey kamine... kam se kam khud ki shaadi ke time pe to traditional pehen...

Hearing this... I asked him.. come again...

Nilesh repeated... Oye... do din baad teri shaadi hai.. and abhi se hi tere nakhre shuru...

I told... abey chal paka mat.. sach bol kya hai aaj...???

on the top of this Tushar ne mujhe mere shaadi ka invitation card dikhaya...

Looking at the card... my heart started beating at the maximum speed possible... like it was going to come out and start running... :-(

and like 440V ka jhatka laga ho mujhe...

I was afraid to open the card... then too.. I had to face this...

So maine himmat kar ke card khola...

and I saw...

Sujit weds Anamika...

and I asked... ye Anamika kaun hai...???

then Tushar replied.. teri honewaali biwi...

Obviously I can see that in the card... but who is she...???

I had never heard this name in my entire life...

thought k this is some kind of prank... and I got ready... first time in traditional... :-(

dandiya raas ka setup terrace pe kiya tha...

main terrace pe gaya... and I wanted to talk to mom...

I just went near her... and she told me that... Thank you beta... now you have taken the most important decision of your life...

I could see the happiness in her eyes...

But then too one thing was eating me up form within... who is Anamika...???

mostly everyone was present for the dandiya...

every one was very happy except me... :-(

all the elders were giving blessings to me...

so now finally I had to accept it that I was going to marry in next couple of days...

and with this feeling I too started to play with full josh... I played dandiya for 2 hours continuously...

the last few minutes with my cousins was fun... and I was completely immersed in dandiya...

then after dandiya... we had dinner...

dinner was very much delicious... as usual Gujju khana is the best with lots of sweets... I had lots of Gulab Jamunsss.... yummmy... :-)

slowly slowly everyone was leaving...

and I too went in my room... and was in my bed in no time... as I was very much tired playing dandiya...

but then too I was not able to sleep... for the whole night.. I was thinking about only one thing... the name... Anamika...!!!

I searched Facebook too for this name... I found some profiles.. but none of them were close to me... like we did not had any Mutual Friends for those profiles...

then maine socha... jaane de yaar... jo bhi hogi... Saturday ko dekh lenge...

and then around 3am I went to sleep...

I had to get up early next day... there was a Puja at my home... usually shaadi k ek din pehle ye Puja hoti hai...

so now I was expecting this... and next morning... I woke up at 6.00am...

When I came out of my room, Panditji was already at my home.. and was having morning tea...

I said hello to him and he replied... jaldi naha lo... we have to go to Temple for puja...

I got ready in next 15mins... this is the fastest time for me to get ready... usually I take around 35-40mins... :-)

I went to Mandir with mom, dad and Panditji...

I reached there and saw Vimal and Nilesh were already there... one with a digicam and other with a camcorder...

I did puja there and everyone there prayed for the better future of mine...

Puja took about 2 hours to complete... and we were back home around 11am...

we had lunch.. and then I was in my room with my cousins...

Vimal and Nilesh are married... and Tushar was the only left single...

bole to I was single... but was going to get married the very next day...

the jodis are like... Vimal-Sejal and Nilesh-Archana...

Sejal and Archana were also in with them... and everyone started teasing me...

I cannot go out in the main hall.. as there were elders out there... and if I go out they will start giving bhashans... etc... etc...

So I was in my room fighting with the comments of the buddies...

then after lunch... everyone started to leave and were going to meet directly on at the marriage hall...

by late evening... everyone had gone... and still I was thinking about her...

I got an idea... I went online and opened my mailbox...

and went to the sent folder..

main soch raha tha k.. If I am getting married tomorrow... then obviously I would have sent an invitation to my friends...

and was looking across my sent mails for the past 2 weeks...

and surprisingly I found a mail...

haan yaar... maine invitation forward kiya tha... to all my close friends...

but I was not able to recollect it...

How can I do so and not remember it... it was like someone has brain washed me for the past few weeks...

and again with some curiosity... I checked my status in Facebook...

and again the same... it was Engaged...

but no profile was attached to it...

Now I went to sleep early that day.. as there was a very hectic day going to come...

I got up early.. as usual... and got ready for the purpose...

I had gone to the mens parlor for my facial and hair setup...

I was taken to the shaadi ka hall in a new BMW... lolzzz

This was funny yaar.. me and BMW... this was again nearly impossible...

laga k shayad Sasurji ne diya hoga... dahej mien...

I mean...pre-shaadi dahej... ;)

phir bhi chalo.. jo bhi ho raha tha acha ho raha tha... except my shaadi... :-)

I reached the marriage hall... all the baratis were dancing like anything...

now a days the baratis favourite songs are Munni badnaam hui and Sheela ki jawani...

and then the last song in the baraat was Jor ka Jhatka from Action replay...

haan yaar.. mujhe ye jor ka jhatka half lag chuka tha..

and the remaining half.. I was going to get when I will see who Anamika is....

we entered in the hall... went to stage...

a girl with her face covered with ghunghat...was there...

bole to Anamika hi hogi... but I could not see her face... bcoz of the ghunghat... :-(

this was new to me... as never in our marriages... the dulhan is in ghunghat...

why only me yaar...???

then Anamika's father came on stage and the process of Hastmilaap started...

he gave Anamika's hand in my hand.. and told me that... I am giving you my daughter... I have always seen her happy... and hope she will get more happiness from you(bole to me...)...

I told him... you dont worry Daddyji... I will keep her happy and fulfill all her wishes...

for a moment it looked like I was talking to myself...

and now the Kanyadaan process started... the knots were tied... and we started the pheras around the sacred agni...

for all the time.. I was trying to see her face... but hard luck yaar... kuch bhi nahi dikh raha tha...

atlast I thought k ab jaane do... Shaadi to ho gayi hai... and

now... I will be able to see her face...

Gujju shaadi usually takes around 4-5 hours...

Shaam ho gayi thi.. We reached back home...

something was again fishy here...

We changed our shaadi k kapde and wored usual clothes...

then too she was in ghunghat hiding her face... :-(

Vimal had booked a room for our Suhaag-Raat... :-)

now I was again somewhat afraid... bcoz of Suhaagraat...

first time tha na... and woh bhi kisi aisi ladki k saath jise main jaanta bhi nahi aur dekha bhi nahi hai...

for a moment one thought came to my mind...

ladki k saath hi meri shaadi hui hai naa...??? :-(

As we reached the hotel room... the bed was decoarated with Red roses...

this was the scene that you normally see in any hindi movie...

White bed sheet... pillows... and the red roses spreaded all over it... the scene was awesome...

and it was for me... :-)

We entered the room and she directly sat on the bed...

I locked the room properly from inside... making sure no1 comes in... :-)

Now I went near to the bed.. sat besides her...

I started talking to her... and the first stupid question I asked...

aapka naam kya hai...??

there was pin drop silent... but after 10-12 seconds..

she answered... Anamika...

I asked her... can I take off the ghunghat...???

she told... Nahi.. Abhi nahi... Mujhe sharam aa rahi hai...

Saala sirf ghunghat uthaane mein isko sharam aa rahi hai.. woh bhi uske pati k saaamne...

pata nahi aage kya hoga... :-(

I told her.. arey yaar... isme sharam kis baat ki... mujhe to sirf tumhaara chehera dekhna hai...

She replied back... Kyun... kabhi dekha nahi kya mera chehera...???

Ab main isko kaise samjhaau... What all is happening with me... :-(

now there was no point with me to speak...

and neither she spoke for some time...

and achanak se.. after some 10-15 mins...

she told me... Sunoji... ab agar aap chaahen to mera ghunghat utha sakte hain...

maine socha k... abhi tak make up kar rahi thi kya... jo ab ready hui hai... :P

without delaying for anytime.. I took my position in front of her and touched her ghunghat to take it off...

and at that very moment... mujhe mere roommate ne mujhe zorr se laat maari...

and I fell off from my bed on the floor...

I opened my eyes... and saw that I am in my room in US...

and it was Monday morning... and mera roommate office k liye ready ho chuka tha...

Thank GOD yaar.. that it was a dream and not my real life...

this is how I got married last night in my dream...

but then too after all the things that happened in the dream...

I am still thinking...

kaun ho sakti hai woh... Anamika...???
