Pavi's wedding!

I just got back from a trip to Erode and Kallipatti and I can think of nothing else. Pavi’s wedding was held in Erode on the 23rd of Nov. Well, its something I’ve been looking forward to, for the past two months. It was really fun calling everyone up and finding out who’ll be able to come, who’ll be staying over and sometimes trying to convince people to stay etc. I left home on 22nd and since I wanted to get there quickly, I didn’t go with my parents in the comfort of the car. I chose to go by bus, which turned out to be quite an experience. I had estimated the journey to be 4 hours long and it actually took me close to 5 hours 45 minutes. The reason is that I didn’t get a direct bus and had to switch four buses. Jaime had already reached by then. Boy! Was I glad to see her! We went yak-yak over lunch until Sudha and Samyu arrived. In the midst of non-stop chatter, we dressed for the reception in the evening and finally reached the Mandapam. Roopa, Parko and Karpi were already there. Shiyamala joined a little later. The evening went off in a whiff…non-stop chatter and lots of photographs. Pavi was dressed in a very pretty blue and green saree and looked the perfect bride. Sudha and Shy left that night itself. Samyu, Jaime and I spent the night together. Pavi Devi joined us in the hotel room for another chat. We managed to get close to 4 hours of sleep before it was time to get up and get dressed for the wedding. It was a typical Tamilian wedding and Pavi, even though nervous, handled it very well. And after breakfast, we left the madapam to get ready for the trip to Kallipatti.

Something that I noticed this time and at all times I meet up with Shy friends… Even though we meet after years, we just pick up from where we left off… I think it’s the best part of our bond. Like, I was meeting Shy after 7 years and it was like we’ve never been apart. And most of the trip, I was giggling like a school kid. It was like I was back in school.
