    Congrats sidin
    and to be honest, I think u dint have total concentration when you wrote this rambling.

    parts of it are great, but that Sidinish oomph is missing thistime ...seriously.



    No pressure, take your time, enjoy your honeymoon, and then when you ve really got your ammunition ready ,come and blast!



    PS: Hi to your wife. Best Wishes to both of u! :-)

    (I am a mallu married to a South African ;-))

    Just can't stop laughing. I'd love to hear the story of how many things how many plans the bride's friends, bhabhi's cousins's and other chillar's would have had made to steal those shoes. and of course the bargaining.


    BTW that dance at Alwar, did you dance on all those punjabi songs. most of which start sustain and end with "Ek Kudi, Kudi Kudi...."



    eagerly waiting for the next post.

    SO does the wife also write? Was she a reader? Since we have established there cannot be any privacy (for the blogger), may as well share this info! Are you two setting up a joint blog? The ones that go "Me and Her"!? Oh and congrats, too bad about The duty-free cousin and p.s. say hi to the wife!
