JUST MARRIED


Long gone are the days when marriages used to come with a range of certain terms and conditions.
Recently,someone in my building got married and the bride was welcomed very warmly into her new house.
Day before yesterday everybody from our building was present in the wedding.She was the kind of bride who danced the most on her wedding and probably ate the most too!
She was a very happy chirpy bride,just like every other bride in todays age should be!

And today morning,I saw her going to the office in a beautiful white and red saree with her husband casually dressed in black and green checked shirt,she was handed over the tiffins by her Mom-in-law just like her mother would used to do a decade ago.
She very cordially hugged her new mom and then touched her feet.The mom kissed her left cheek and bid bye to her.
The husband was now jealous about the love being shared.
With long springy feet she moved towards the bike,hopped on it and went to work with dear hubby.
We were all sitting in the drawing room of our house when we heard the drums being played,giving into curiosity,I mom and dadi went to balcony and saw the new member of the family was going to her house for the visit after marriage.
All the in-laws gathered around her,dancing and singing.
Bye’s were being said as she opened the front door of the car,sat on the driver’s seat,closed the door and accelerated the speed.
Just in a flash,the car ran like a participant horse in a race.
Her husband on the side and sisters on the back,there was a strong independent and loved daughter-in-law.
I realised how much the dynamics of the whole wedding saga has changed since the old times and how!
The other day there was again a loud rhythemic sound of the drums that welcomed the daughter-in-law once again in her house.
The old couple in the house made sure everybody in the locality knew their daughter had arrived!

How i wish every household welcome their daughters and sons like this and every homecoming is celebrated with drums and open arms with love!!

                                                Pani Puri  On a Wednesday evening i went with my husband to have pani puri, i wasn't much in the mood to have it but the husband wanted to and as he says i am the sarthi to him. We drove off in our WagonR and reached about 5 km away from our place near Birhana Road to have pani puri...oh so delicious pani puri, as my husband would call it. Now as I told you already I was in no mood to have it but I accompanied my husband so as I was standing near the thela of the gorgeous looking Pani Puri instantly my eyes went onto the gigantic hoarding of the marvellous Sonam Kapoor hoarding a necklace worth of crores and beneath that was a women standing in shattered clothes holding her frail daughter. There were at least 10 people gathered near the thela and eating the oh-so-lip-smacking puris but no one cared about that poor mo...

Chetan Bhagat To Local Train.

Before starting to blog,a very important question that demands an answer is,Who Am I?.To start off,my name is Pankhuri Nigam hailing from Kanpur,Uttar Pradesh.Have done a decent amount of education and still doing it.. Well,I was in Mumbai for the year,2017.The city of dreams,the city of wishes.Honestly Speaking,it taught me a lot..i have heard it never sleeps..witnessed it too..things that signify Mumbai are Local trains and Rains,Believe you me,you get your half of the stories either in trains or rains. Or sometimes..both. And very recently While travelling from Kandivali to Dadar i discovered that maybe i could write!,So i got down into Dadar purchased a very classy diary which says "Everyday is an Adventure" Pretty fancy,right? Just by looking at this diary,i felt as if Chetan Bhagat had entered into my body. Yes,imagination ka level!! So,the very night i sit down to write something it was 10:15pm,half an hour later the page was still blank and the eyes...

Meethi si Saheli

Rasgullo ki chaashni si, Dahi bhallo ki chatni si, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Bin baat ke hasne waali, Baat baat pe sisakne waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Angrezi me ladne wali, Dil ki baat maatrabhasha me karne waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Ghunghraale baalo me apne pal pal nakhun phasane waali, Hothon ke niche ke til par itraati ithlaane waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Shah Rukh Khan ki deewani wo, Mohobbatein si mohobbat karne waali, End Result me dhoka khake, Devdas si Dev banne waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Dibbe se Sheher me band, Sapne udaano ke bharne wali, Koshishe naakaam ho jaane par bhi, Saahas se ladne waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Practical me panne bharte hue khud ki yaad dilane waali, Exam room me zor zor se mera naam chillane waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. College ke baahar ki laiya chap chap karke khane waali, Ghar par Maggi utne hi pyaar se makkhan daalke banane waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Mujhe kuch ...
