The Jaipur trip

A week long trip to Jaipur had been full of joy and happiness. I was wondering if I could make it to Vivek's wedding amidst so much work. My manager finally relented and approved a leave for 3 days. Weekend + republic day added 3 more days. 6 days of total fun and joy.

I have known Vivek since my engineering days. He is a Telugu speaking Marwadi :-).
The train journey to Jaipur and back was really entertaining. I travelled along with 40 other friends and relatives of Vivek. There was no need to turn on the mp3 player as the kids were playing anthakhasari non-stop. Though, the particpation from elders (including me) was meagre, it was nice to listen to the Hindi songs.

The marriage and the reception were very elegant and full of activity. I never got a chance to see a traditional north Indian marriage, except in the movies. The baraath was the ultimate. We danced and enjoyed the music played by the band. It was all fun and an unforgettable experience. Look at Vivek on the horse..
