Think or sink!

The girl who served it - wearing the tall cap of a chef - was equally interesting.

Sh had two front teeth missing and two others fractured.

They ruined her lovely smile and looks.

I told her to get her teeth fixed since she will look very beautiful then.

She became shy and told me her marriage has been fixed in the near future.

I told her it will be all the more reason for her to attend to her teeth.

OMG VR ji!

You actually told someone you were meeting for the 1st time about a flaw in their appearance?

Wont that make her feel self conscious?

No no dear Renu,
I made her understand that it is due to my genuine concern about her appearance.
Actually she was calling me AMME and wanted to help me down the flight of steps-
burshing aside her duty for a few minutes, when I was leaving the hall.
But I thanked her and refused to take her help.
I did not want her to be sacked for negligence of duty!
 
I know that TRUE LOVE has always been a rare commodity.
Now Tolerance is becoming a rarer commodity.
Whipping and lashing with the tiny tongue
hurts deeper than the gleaming sword.

Why weddings are not arranged in halls which are senior citizen friendly?

It is known that mostly senior citizen have the time and inclination to go to various marriages and wait for an oppurtunity to bless the newly weds and some attempt

could be made to meet their needs.

also with this indiscriminate invitations that one does not know many attending the wedding.

there could be some sense of discretion in issue of wedding and reception cards in weddings

and the wastages which take place in weddings.

weddings and receptions could be enjoyable experiences for all .only if they are properly planned and executed

many times occassions like marriage lead to inter personal transactions between relatives which are not pleasant.

there are attempts at one upmanship ,staring with clothes and ornaments that people wear

and wedding presents , most end with items which are multiple in number or not to liking of the receiver

I still have crockery sets in bonechina that I received at my wedding more than 30 plus years back lying unopened in boxes.

dear Mr. krish,
Their concept of a user-friendly-hall is one
which operates in two or even three levels.
The dining area will be in the ground floor
the wedding ceremony in the first floor and
more often than not the rooms for the guests
will be situated in the second floor.
Except for the smart folks who meet, chat, eat
and take off from the ground floor itself,
all are stuck up with long winding staircases for two days
and end up with not only Anaconda ankles but also
swollen sthambam knees and hurting hips.
The world is not oldies-friendly anymore! :(

Dear Mr. Krish,
You must pass on the gifts which you are sure you will never use.
May be someone else will appreciate them.
I shuddered at the thought of wining a Jeem-Boom-Baa jar in a charity lucky draw.
The person who won it, was beaming from ear to ear,
since that was what he wanted to win - if he was destined to win.
It takes all kinds of people to make the world interesting. :)

People come to weddings to exhibit
their rich brocade silks and diamonds (real and fake).
I wore nothing but my pearls and crystals.
I was care-free since I will be a sitting duck
in case of a chain snatching
since I can neither shout not run! :)

I beg to disagree with you

If those who arrange marriages act with more sensitivity in selection of venue and accomodation of guests and relatives these issues can easily be resolved,

people do not like to care for those attending marriages and make insufficient efforts to meet their needs .

why not have marriages on ground floor or in places with lifts.? there are many halls available with these facilities.

why not have special catering say a few tables to serve senior citizen in ground floor.

it could even be arranged to serve them in their rooms where they stay.

In my family , marriages are celebrated keeping only the needs of senior citizens in view in addition to the children getting married .

every effort is made that they have vehicle pick ups and drops to the place of stay to wedding hall and to railway stations /airports.

we have weddings only on weekends to enable outstation /locals to not waste their working hours

we restrict weddings only to relatives and receptions to friend circles

with limit in numbers and extra care for those who grace the wedding , it is enjoyable experience for all

When when we pass on gifts we never use , we run the risk of our loved ones finding the gifts they have given us lovingly with our maids or other relatives.

so no recycling of gifts.

it is a legacy I am leaving behind for my next generation .Let them find out what to do with it.lol

giving away feminine clothing is a more ticklish issue.

sometimes maids wearing new sarees look better than most of our relatives.

you know , these days event management ladies wearing the latest expensive conjeevarams are in attendance in weddings and receptions to take care of relatives and

friends.

I collected a few for a wedding at my place to take care of senior citizens. only old male senior citizens were happy. senior ladies shunned them claiming some

acharam and tried keeping away their men from them.lol

Why not try artificial jewellery?

These days these look better than originals

one can be relaxed and enjoy the wedding without a care..

pearls of course , it is difficult to distinguish between cheap and expensive ones

it depends on confidence level of person wearing .

I think I have reached the stage and age where

jewels or no jewels does not make any difference!

People who will interact only with silks and

diamonds are welcome to KEEP OFF ME!!! :)

Down south such facilities are not yet very popular or affordable.
In small towns and villages you do not need to invite people for wedding.
They invite themselves. For all the marriages in my family,
the entire village has had wedding feast lunch since
they were all my father patients and felt they need not be invited!
The spirit was 'Ithu namma veettuk kalyaaNam!' :party:
 
In the Music world funny things happen.
The student who has just learned the SwarAwaLi swarAs
(the very first lesson in the Music BAla PAdam)
would start music class to teach students
the moment he/ she moves on to the
JaNda SwarAs the second lesson.
It may be to pay off the enormous fees charged. :)
Juju who is just learning the alphabets has become the teacher
for her toddler brother and is teaching him how to read! :)
 
Dear VR ji,

There was a Santa Banta Singh joke where Santa got invited to a function and the invitation stated the dress code as black tie only.

So Santa went dressed only with a black tie!LOL
 
Eating is NOT a spectator game. :hungry:

Neither is sleeping nor weeping!! :nono:

Most people do not realize this.

If we go late to the dining hall during a feast,

all the servers line up to deliver their goodies.

BUT they stay on to watch how we eat the treat.

With 15 persons staring at us with thirty eyes

how can we manage to eat anything at all???

I have watched horrifying wedding videos

where the naughty photographer with a bad sense of humor

zooms in when the person pushes in the food with the help of

the hand thrust inside the mouth :yuck:

OR the tongue put out off the mouth. :frog:
 
In A.P. the doors of the dining hall will be closed

the moment al the seats are taken up inside the hall.

Those waiting outside would enter the dining hall

when the swargga vaasal opens again

running like wild animals during a forest fire

causing a near stampede. :scared:
 
If the doors are NOT closed
persons would enter the hall
and each one would stand right
behind every person eating then!
They would NOT only watch us
through the back of our head
but also goad us to eat faster!!! :boink:
