An extended family thing. So, on a fateful weekend, my mom and I reached Mumbai. My brother and his family came all the way from California. And we were treated to the spectacle. .
The bride was beautiful. All brides are beautiful but this one Was particularly beautiful. She wore the traditional red saree. Blood red. With gold embroidery.
The bridegroom looked happy. All bridegrooms look happy. But this one was exceptionally so.
They’d met through Internet. She is a dentist.
The rest of it was a mix of colour clamour and some pretty bad Bollywood Hindi music. Most of the guests sat and wondered what we were about. But then it happened. The one minute miracle. That gets you dewy eyed and thinking about happiness and lifetimes. The moment when, they looked at each other. And were alone. Together.
Against Bollywood and the world
What a privilege to be there.
