The cat is out

Finally it happened , last Sunday ...the dream of my father , mother and bro..I got engaged in the morning hours of 27 April . Now i carry a ring on my right hand finger which thank god is weightless and does not remind me of its existance. So finally its over and done ..the marriage is scheduled in the coming next months and I will be moving to Chennai leaving Deloitte and sweet Hyd ..There is still some time for it. Well I am done with my part.Things are taking their own course now and people at home are pretty excited about the whole thing. I am slowly leaking the news to friends, and one who reads this blog i know will be quite angry with me for not telling but to tell the truth i my self took some time in digesting and adjusting to the idea.Well Its finally done now.
I am still not very close to the 'guy' , but definitely he is the one who is more happy and shows it on his lit up face. Lucky one i should say , who just met one girl , got the best ! ;) and took the opportunity without losing time .Wow! what a stroke of luck . Frankly speaking i was not for it ..even now when i am speaking to him its not like i am marrying some one i know , some one i can relate with easily like i have done in past ..its an effort to smile , which shows pretty well in the pics !!! (and people politely suggesting me to smile more ) ..
My source of smile comes from the lit up faces of my family , aunts (who liked the 'guy' more than me ) , the proud look when they had on their faces when i was standing on the dias of the hall , from the lit up face of my dear friend , from the happiness of the fact that the 'guy' and me look good , what ever be the other things ...
The whole thing was worth one thing , my people and the way they were just a step behind ' for if i needed any thing '..my akka was fixing my armlet ..my aunt was worried that the Saree was too heavy , but again proud that i was looking good in that color ..my relatives musing over the 'vaddanam' which me and mom painfully selected some time back ..that also came after a lot of fighting with dad ..he wanted some thing , we wanted some thing ..finally he gave up and we won ..and now he is happy that it looks so well .
So today morning when i saw for the first time my snaps , i felt a strange sense of wonder of 'Is it me there ?'
