Married.
M.A.R.R.I.E.D.
That’s right. I’m married.
Like, for real.
I’m sorry, but it’s gonna take some time for the mammoth
fact to sink in. So till then, you might have to put up with me saying ‘I’m
married’ at the most unexpected intervals.
So that’s what’s been happening, folks! The wedding was on
the 10th of December, a reception the same day evening at Palakkad,
and a reception in Trivandrum on 14th. The reception is TVM was so
much fun, with dancing and all that. The wedding as such went off without any
major disasters, and I behaved as well as I possibly could. Although, my aunt
was heard complaining that ‘the bride’ wasn’t showing even a tinge of shyness
or nervousness. Not even for courtesy sake. I was probably the one laughing and
talking the loudest.
After a week of wedding madness, we took off to Goa. And Goa
was just fab! We spent three days in North Goa and two days in South Goa. Went for
water sports and parasailing (second time this year. Ain’t that cool! J ), stuffed our faces
with all kinds of seafood, drank ourselves silly, and generally chilled out. Palolem
beach in South Goa was just beautiful. If ever you plan a trip to Goa, do visit
Palolem. It’s a lot more beautiful and peaceful than the crowded beaches of
North Goa.
As I write this, I’m sitting at Bangalore airport, waiting
to catch my connecting flight to Coimbatore, from where we’ll to go to
Palakkad. I look around me at the waiting lounge and I see a lot of strangers. And
then I look next to me, and see this guy, with his nose buried in a book, who
was a stranger to me till a few months back, but has somehow become the reason
for my happiness right now. I don’t even know if I can call it happiness. I am...at
peace. Maybe it’s him. Maybe it’s Goa. Maybe it’s just God letting me know that
he’s out there, looking out for me.
I’ll be off to Chennai next week. Brand new city, brand new
husband, brand new life. I’ll keep you guys posted about how marriage is
treating me. Wish me luck, ok? J
Because I need lots of it.
Fuck!! I’m married!! :O
