After 7 consecutive weekends of walking and tiredly searching for the right 'black' kurta for anjum's wedlock day, getting it stitched, altered, madeover, and in the process gaining 10 kgs eating all kinds of yummy crap kamla nagar has to offer our delhi bellies, and because of this again getting the kurta altered, the day of the wearing finally arrived. Yesterday - 11th day of October 2011. As excited as school boys going on a field trip, we hardly slept the last night so as to catch our shatabdi on time. Reached Ludhiana and I felt the Punjab air in my head as we made our way to our hotel. and as true punjabbbis do, we started of our sojourn with chilled beer. no snacks, no food, Beer first! :D We were 8 of us in that room and what followed the next 2 hrs was pure awesomeness :) then peaceful sleep of another 2 hrs.
Now i am not of those who like to sleep around (pun intended :P) in a new city. So, as soon as the sun set behind the buildings and water tanks, i slipped out with 2 friends to explore the streets of ludhiana, spot punjabi babes and in-time have some chaat as well :D and so i did without disappointment. Ludhiana is a rich land, that i also found out.
Then it was time for the wedding. and out came the toil of those 7 weeks. Our shining black kurtas and jutis :) Coincidentally the other 2 guys in our company also wore black suits and when we started posing for photos i realized we were actually resembling black pathan commandos more than dulha's friends! After briefly paying respects to Johnny Walked ji, we headed for the baraat, which was a little disappointing. The guy's christian family did not seem too interested in hindu traditions (it was an inter caste love marriage) and all we did was rush to the venue. Still, we had our share of frolic and after round 2, we were all set to burn the dj floor. Back at the hotel room after 2 hrs, we had another 3 hrs to sleep and catch our train back to delhi. Some 1 hr of bc later we slept and well, came back!
Although, the wedding ceremony did not provide as much of a hungama as we had hoped for, we did have fun and did what we came for. This was our little break from the drabness of delhi and the trip to ludhiana gave us a memory to cherish for a lifetime - this photo :)
