Connor's Corner · 3 years ago

Reading your blog after a long time. That was a very nice post!! I have decided I might be Christian... but I am definitely having a Sangeet when i get married... anything to watch my aunts dance :D he he

HoliDevil · 3 years ago

LMAO


U hv made me hungry n thirsty



Well the food and beverages in a mallu christian wedding can surely give the Punjabi wedding a competition.

"I too will carry the calamari." They have simple ambitions those waiters.


Simply hilarious...!!Great going sidin..though i have a doubt,were u having a hangover when u wrote this?

Venky · 3 years ago

That was one awesome post dude. I thought its going to be a repeat of "north-indian" wedding fun-making (fun nevertheless) - but I must admit this was one of the funniest reads ever.
Your punch-lines are immaculate - on both timing and tone!

Keep making us ROTFL dude.

arun · 3 years ago

SEV · 3 years ago

The car running around the block was my fav part. Remember ragging my bro about a similar stunt; even though he is neither mallu nor punjabi.


Did the Himesh songs play ?

Remind me to invite you to an Assamese wedding. You will know what true dedicated marriage ceremonies are all about. I kid you not!

Soumitra · 3 years ago

I most sincerely hope that we will get a (minimum 2 part series)similar blog on a "couple of weddings" coming in the later part of the year.

Mecredi · 3 years ago

nice nice...but u would have been funnier describing mallu weddings...or even the War of the Waiters. Calamari vs samosa snack was ossum!


Much of the rest....we've seen in all Hindi movies, and really even we mallus know about the shoe-stealing part and dont need to be told ad nauseum



Balle balle

Great Post. A few inputs about weddings in UP:


In UP the weddings are a bit less energetic on the Sangeet part, but you get to see (and hear) a lot of booming guns during the Barat. All the near and distant uncles take out their rusting dunalis or rifles and oil them for the whole day, so that they are fighting fit during the night of the wedding!

And then, as the Barat proceeds towards its destination, all these bravehearts take position, and start shooting away to glory. Mostly they are aiming towards the sky, but after a few shots of whisky/rum or whatever, they really don't care which way the direction of their dunali is! The Groom (much to my horrer) is perched up on a horse, right at the front of the procession, with stray bullets whistling away all around him. But ofcourse, he is not really bothered as he is too petrified sitting on the mare and wishing that the Bandwalas in front do not blow the trumpet so hard and so near to his stead!

Tess · 3 years ago

Surely you didn't forget Sidin....Malaika Arora is half Mallu!

Joban · 3 years ago

Nandini · 3 years ago

wonder why u didnt get to go to one????

desichic · 3 years ago

fyi malaika arora is half mallu. her mom is a mallu.

usha · 3 years ago

I just loved the 'bathe' bit about the mallu weddings ..decades back i had a malayalee roommate who would arrive from Kerala in the middle of the night and promptly take a cold 'head bath'..i also went to her wedding..wake up, bathe, see wedding(dont be even a minute late or you might miss it) lunch, get on the train, go back home :-)

Aaahsum!!

Philip Booth · 3 years ago

great story!

Smith · 3 years ago

just to correct tess and desichic, malaika arora is actually fully mallu...her dad was also mallu...but then her mother married an arora...and malaika also took on her step-dad's surname....so she is as syrian christian mallu as sidin himself....and amrita arora is her half-sister...


i have no verifiable sources for the above information...but the person who told me this, said it with great conviction....

DokC · 2 years ago

Malaika Arora is half Mallu Christian.

I don't think she can sit quite so high on that list.
