Yippee, my cousin is getting married next week. I am so happy. I really love marriages in the sense being a passive spectator and just ignoring all rituals and not taking them to heart or trying to understand the logic behind each and every custom(next post on marriage customs:))
This is the only occasion where i can meet all my perimmas. Seeing five sisters together and listening to all gossip and masala stuff wow priceless :)
Real fun to hear the maamis comment on each others jewellery.
maami1:endi vimala indha necklace enga di vaangina? prince jewellery ah thanga maaligai ah?
maami2:enga aathukaarar engaloda 23 wedding anniversary ku vaangi koduthar de. made to order. indha maadri design ellam kadaila chumma kadaikaadhu. edho naanga regular customer naala seekrama pudichamadhri panni koduthar.
maami1:oho apdiyaa, evlo di aachu?
maami2:Rs 15,500. anaal naanga therijavaa naala 15,000 discount.Rs500 thaan koduthom :)
I just laughed my ass off at this. These ladies believe everything and anything when it comes to jewellery or discount :)
Then when the vadhyar asks for anything , people will just go bustling about the whole place, as if its on fire and run about here and there, as if a moments delay will stop the marriage :)
The most interesting part of marriage is FOOD. My god really worth marrying a hundred times :).I really really hate it when the video man comes to the dining hall and zooms in and out on my banana leaf. I DONT CARE. FOOD FIRST REST NEXT. Anyways, no one is going to comment on how i gobbled up stuff when they see the marriage video. All eyes will be set on ponnu-maapilai:)
Eagerly waiting for Aug 27th :)
HAPPY RAMNAOMI

hey u ve really great.. and ur work is super.. i don know how u manage to write abt these things in such a interesting manner.. Great...
Beware. I'm not so keen on the iyer-cooks for the following reasons -
1. They dont wear shirts.
2. They got curly hair all over the body.
3. They perspire a lot (I speculate they don BUY any salt )
4. They wear only one piece of clothing - a red and pink color towel, that starts at the lower portion of the belly and comes upto the upper portion of the knee. Pretty much covers what it has to, but...
5. That towel can come off at any moment.
6. The above clad iyer mama goes on supervison rounds to all cooking areas AND dining areas, with the intention of contributing to the aromas.
All the above are based on pure experience :-) Anyways, all the best with the cousin's marriage :-)
