The week that was!

It has been some time since I updated things here, but that does not mean there is nothing important to talk about. On the contrary I have been so busy that I haven't found time to update the blog.

Last week was probably the most important week for us as a family. We were privileged to welcome a new member to our family. My sister-in-law is an astounding person and she completes my brother in all the ways. They are the most perfect couple I have ever seen. The manner in which she has become a pivotal part of our family is amazing. She is soft spoken, helping, extremely mature, astonishingly beautiful... I can just keep on giving superlatives, and she deserves all of them. Just in a matter of months she has erased my 23 year craving for a sister. She has filled into that role effortlessly.

The marriage was a euphoric moment for all of us. Although it was extremely tiring, just the adrenaline rush kept the energy levels up. Just seeing my brother and sis-in-law together, the joy that was written all over their faces, made my day. The moment is permanently etched in my mind.

Another Cousin's marriage

This time the location was different. It was in Hubli which is in Northern Karnataka and also the home town of the bride. Its a pretty big town, with decent facilities. The dry heat in this part of Karnataka will sap your energy in no time. You feel like taking bath every 30 mins. Including the groom we were 55 relatives who travelled from Bangalore to Hubli. The journey was comfortable. The hospitality was great, and the FOOD was spectacular. All in all, it was a fun trip with family and relatives. I wish the newly weds a happy married life. :D
