My sister’s wedding

“You should have your own agenda. You must be clear about what you really want.” He was all dressed up in a typical Nepali dress. He further added “that’s what we lack in America. Our people , we don't have our own agenda but chase some political parties.”

The guy is john . A 44 yrs old African American citizen , friend to one of my cousins. He made it all the way from United states to My sister’s wedding. A great guy who merely looks like he is in his 40s. I mean, i made a lot of onlooker guess his age and hardly anyone could crack it fair. He was the gravity in the wedding.

I was on a vacation, except i had to miss couple of lab finals. I wasn’t even notified that my sister is getting married. It just happened too fast. Not that she eloped to some stranger and surprised us. It’s just that i am the guy in the family, who gets the information when it’s already staled.

I would go like “ Kere !!!! Rajan(one of my cousins too) le chori payo re???” And his daugther is already some months older.

This wedding was so much fun. The guy who used to be on the same cricket team as me and my brother transmuted to my brother in law. Some years back it waz “ k cha aavash” and suddenly it became “vinaju, sanchai hunu huncha?” And one of my best friends, who is nephew to my brother in law switched to my nephew too. So he would add this “mama” to some words that would sound like “tuuuuuttt mama”

The wedding was more of a get together. We ‘the Gautam family’ are one whale of a family. The sister who got married has been away from home for last few years. She was too on a vacation. Isn’t it weird ?? i mean to get married on a vacation. One moment you return back to your home , its unoccupied and the next moment your partner is there waiting for you. And when the partner is someone like the guy my sister got married to, you will have less worries in life.

A decade or back , when i would make some say about getting married like  “ Ma ta Anido basne ho(my way of saying, i will never ever marry in my life)” they were already in love. And these days you don't stumble over such committed guys. 

Only after, the wedding parties finally got over at my brother in law’s house i.e my sister’s new home. I started thinking to myself , if i should have bought her some wedding presents? I am not good at comprehending such situations. So i thought of writing this. A little off beat to what i usually write(and i seriously don’t know what that is). A blog that would always remind my sister, how great guy she got married too.

This blog is for you guys. Couldn’t do more for now. You guys are an inspiration to the new generation; all Korean dressed up lovers in town. Who have only seen ‘married happily ever after’ in  movies.
