Or rather, My Sister’s Big Fat Assamese-Gujarati Wedding. <\/p>\n
I am in Baroda now, somewhere in the suburbs, and the temperature is almost<\/em> Hyderabadi – sunny days and breezy, slightly nippy nights. The reason why I am here, along with 20-odd members of my Evil Clan, is of course, my sister’s wedding. It’s on the First.<\/p>\n The last couple of days have been a flurry of travel schedules – I was in Chennai for the Odyssey Quiz, which kicked ass. Mine. Then boarded a bus the same night to Hosur, and then changed buses to reach Bangalore. ( My advice: Never trust a Travel Agency named Muskaan Travels<\/em>. The Muskaan <\/em>refers to the grimace on your face that has frozen during the night, unable to withstand the icy wind raging inside through the windows of the bus. The windows are all single-panes of glass, designed in a way as to reduce inter-passenger confrontation about whether to leave them open or shut)<\/p>\n Anyways, Happy News A: I had won a bid for a batch of 48 Swamp Thing comics on eBay. Hooray!<\/p>\n Happy News B: Arul (Mani, the Man They Call God ) gave me four cds packed with CBR and CBZ files, notably the complete Groo comics by Sergio Aragones, and Sandman 1-75. Hooray!<\/p>\n Happy News C: Yesterday, I met Of course, with all these Happy Things happening, the Law of Averages needed to catch up – and it did. <\/p>\n *sigh*<\/p>\n My Evil Relatives.<\/p>\n You know what? I have a weird family. We can collectively give the Kaurava-Pandava fracas a resounding snub. I mean, look at it this way, the Mahabharata is just 100 guys against 5 guys, and the rest of them folks in the Multi-Episode Epic were pretty clear about their priorities – they either join the hundred guys, or bet on the underdogs. My Family on the other hand is an ever-changing entity of a number of factions, and you never know who’s in which. So you have cases like A talking to B about C and D, and then A goes to C and badmouthing D and E, and by that time, B and C have decided to give E the cold shoulder. <\/p>\n It’s been a night and a morning since the twenty-odd folks got together, and I feel fagged out already. Sheesh.<\/p>\n I have good things to look forward to. Notably, the bunch of Gotham comics I bought in bangalore. Ultimate X-Men, here I come!<\/p>\n There might be words of dissent about me being a spoilsport and a wet blanket, ,but hey, I am here to enjoy myself. And that’s precisely what I will be doing. My sister’s enjoying herself too, visiting Beauty Parlours and all. My parents have been doing things since morning that I can’t make any sense out of, and I choose not to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Or rather, My Sister’s Big Fat Assamese-Gujarati Wedding.
