Lee Wedding : Part I

"Get lost... We have kurkure"

Thus we shoved off the caterer boy at 7.30PM.

The train had just started from majestic railway station.

Little did we know that we will have to pay the price for it.

Well, the price for it was this - We finally got dinner at 12 in the night !

The train dint have pantry service, and we had to wait till the train reached Salem railway station in the neighbouring state !!

The train trip was funny. Ours were all Side berths.. 5 berths. We were four - Rat, Jins, Sow, Goose. Sho dint turn up. We allowed 2 cute kids to occupy Sho's berth.
The story that got printed the next day was "Sho gave be(i)rth to two kids" :-D

Another incident in the train was equally interesting.
Just opposite to our berth was a beautiful young girl.. accompanied by an elderly person.. Should be her dad. For most of the time between 7.30 and 9.30 (rather... till the lights were ON) all eyes were on her. The poor dad - what could he do ?!
Finally when it was time to sleep, every other person in the train seemed to be in sweet dreams - but for ONE old man, and 4 young chaps. The chaps were awake, to grab their last meal of the day. The old man, unsure of the intention of the youngsters, decided to skip his sleep for the good health of his daughter. Well, little did he know that we are a bunch of 'decent' youngsters. But we felt sorry for the gentleman, and moved to the adjacent berth.
But in the end, that dad was awake all through the night, and had a nap only early in the morning at 4AM, when the train was somewhere near Trichur station...

Our discussion topic for the rest of the day was "The effect of grown up daughters, on the sleep of their dad". The topic was good enough to keep us occupied for a quality time.

Landed at Ekm rly station at 7.15AM

2 hours in bus, and we reached Kottayam.

Jins went straight to his home. Rest of us bumped into Sowji's place.
By noon Sand joined us. We visited Kumarakom, got into a house boat, got into an ordinary boat, did a small trek to the Bird Sanctuary.


And then got into a cozy good theatre to enjoy a good movie - Vinodayathra.
At the end of the day, we went to Goose's house to drop him (read, "get rid of him")
What happened there was shocking and outrageously hillarious at the same time.....
