I wear a red Rajasthani Rajputana dress and my mother helps me set my dupatta. I wore ornaments suitable for my dress And had a simple hairstyle. I wear Mojadi on both of my legs. I put lipstick on my lips and do a little makeup to complete my look.
My mother looks beautiful in a blue Rajasthani Rajputana dress and I compliment her that " you're looking, gorgeous mummy".
She gives a smile and tells me that " You're looking beautiful dear. I hope someone's evil eye doesn't affect you "
After getting dressed up properly I reached Meera's room and she was wearing her Mojadi. She looks beautiful in Maroon colour lehenga and greyish white colour full sleeve blouse and matching dupatta. Her hairstyle was perfect and her makeup looked great. Two - three girls from the parlour came to prepare her for this function. She looks very beautiful.
I told her, " Meera, you're looking gorgeous dear."
She told me, " Thanks for the compliment dear and you're looking beautiful in this Rajputi dress "
I told her, that "Thanks, dear."
Then we both go to the ground near her house where beautiful decorations are done by lights.
On one side the stage is set up for the music team to sing a song and on the other side of the ground, chairs are put for the seating of elders.
On the ground women, men, and children all are dressed up beautifully and doing the Garba on the beat of a song sung by a singer from the stage.
Me and Meera start playing Garba on the beat of Music and We join others who are playing Garba already on the ground.
We all enjoyed doing the Garba and the focus of the photographer and video man who is taking the video is on us.
We start from doing simple Garba and then after some time, we change our style of Garba.
We are many people who are doing the Garba and we all make a big round on the ground. In the round many male and female, my sisters and brothers, my mother and father, uncle and aunty all are enjoying doing the Garba.
Elder people who can't do the Garba for longer periods are seated on a chair on the ground and watch the people who are doing the Garba.
We danced for about an hour and after that we all took a break, and the music stopped.
We all are seated on different corners of the ground and the centre of the ground is empty.
My uncle took the mic and announced that this is break time for everyone and if someone wants to sing something can come on the stage and entertain everyone.
And I know after this announcement my little brother will be the first one to sing and after that queue will be formed to sing a song because I come from a caste where everyone knows singing and almost anyone can sing a song in public.
So my assumption is right. My brother goes on the stage and sings one beautiful Chhand and Charaj (It means a song which is dedicated to goddess and god ). We all give him a round of applause.
After my brother's performance, my other cousins are ready to give their performance. One of my brothers sings a song on the love of brother and sister.
One of my brothers sings a song about the love of a daughter and father. My one brother sings a Hindi romantic song.One brother sings a Hindi dance song and Punjabi dance song.
One of my uncles sings Duha and Garba songs. All songs, Duha, Charaj are in the Gujarati language. We all appreciate them by giving a round of applause. I love the performance of all of them.
While we all are enjoying these beautiful performances, snacks are given to all the audience. Me and Meera sit together with our families and cousins.
I loved all the performances by my brother, cousins and uncles.
My mother is also a good singer. My mother sings Gujarati 'Lagna geet'. My brother loves to sing a song and he is very good at it.
I love to listen to music. I can sing a song but I didn't sing a song in public and I'm not even planning to sing in public.
I love to hear all kinds of songs. I listen to sad, romantic, motivational , dance songs, sufi songs, Duha, Charaj and traditional folk songs of India.
It depends upon my mood and according to my mood I listen to the songs.
Sometimes if I hear any song and like it too much I start listening to it in a loop.
No matter how many years have passed, some music and songs become evergreen.
Sometimes I listen to songs of different languages to feel the music.I love the original songs more than the remake of those songs. I love the cover songs of the old songs in which they don't spoil the original songs. Nowadays many Hindi songs are remakes of old songs but I liked only a few.
We're enjoying the performance while having snacks and coffee. Meera also loved the whole performance while having the snacks and tea.
Meera sings beautifully but today she doesn't want to sing. She just wants to enjoy the performances.
When on vacation we all meet together, we all sing together and have all kinds of fun together.
Meera has done many singing performances in her school and college also.
Sometimes in my life
I feel like capturing all the moments with my feelings in my heart and cherish them my whole life. Camera can capture the moment but can't capture the feelings.
I know that I can't capture all the moments of my life on camera so I want to capture all the moments in my heart.
I don't like going to social functions and gatherings but I love to meet the people who are close to me. I love to attend the functions in which I can meet Meera and my other cousins, because without cousins and siblings any functions become boring.
I was preparing for the last many days for Meera's wedding and here I'm at her home with her tomorrow is her wedding day. Time doesn't stop and passes fast.
My snacks are finished and I started drinking coffee on a cold winter night. It feels good to drink hot coffee. We danced more than two hours continuously so I and others who danced with us didn't feel cold.
When I was enjoying drinking coffee one person came on the stage. I don't know who he is.
That person whom I don't know looks young in age. He is in a pink colour kurta which has an elbow length sleeve and on that, he has a light pink colour coty and white colour pajama. He has a black thread band on his wrist on the right hand and he has a watch on the left hand. He has worn Mojadi on his legs. He is tall, handsome, and has a beard. He takes the mike and starts singing a song on the love of daughter and Father in the Gujarati language. Music is playing in the background on the stage by a music band. He sings beautifully and we all listen to it carefully. The lyrics of the song are amazing and Meera starts crying while listening to this song. I hug her and try to calm her down. I also cried while I was listening to that song and other people in the audience also had tears in their eyes. Me and Meera both cried and people who were trying to calm us also had tears in their eyes. Meera's father and mother are also crying.Lyrics of that song are about w
It's 2:30 a.m at night. My mind is still busy thinking about him. I didn't think about this much in my past for anyone and not for someone whom I don't know.I want to give him a compliment about his singing. I want to tell him that I love his singing and his performance tonight.He looks handsome and I usually like a guy with a beard and he looks more handsome in his beard. I usually don't get attracted by looks. I got attracted by a person's talent, intelligence and character.In this matter I know one thing for sure that I'm attracted by his talent more than his looks. He looks handsome, but His talent is the main factor that made me think about him because I don't know other factors about him. I feel like I'm interested to know more about him.When I overthink, no matter how hard I try to sleep, I can't sleep easily and tonight I am thinking too much about someone who doesn't even know me.&
After seeing Meera I think that she would take my side and get angry at him for shouting at me when we both are responsible for this thing.When she sees me like that she starts laughing and that guy has an expression of surprise on his face and I know why she is laughing but I'm not in the mood to laugh.Meera told him to calm down and meet her later after that he left that place.I then entered Meera's room. I'm frustrated and my morning mood has just gotten spoiled.I asked her to please stop laughing whenever I spill something on me or spoil the work. She first checks that I'm alright or not and then she used to just laugh and her smile makes me forget what I did.But this time my Kurti gets spoiled before the ceremony and someone is shouting at me not for my loss but for the fear that it doesn't affect their clothes.She gave me another dress s
In the kitchen, she drinks the juice and this time my mother give her juice and when she gets to know that what happened before she doesn't have any shocks expression on her face and she told only that "Thanks to God you didn't spoil Aarav's clothes because if you do that what will he wear" I was like what?? My own mother has to worry about his clothes more than mine. So I get irritated and told that " Mummy you're worrying about him instead of me and this time my clothes get spoiled not his and he needs to look around also because if he was careful this won't happen" and mummy told me that " Oh dear it's not new for me that your dress gets spoiled because of many things and you looks beautiful in Meera's clothes now and it's perfect feet on you. "I'm not in the mood to argue with my mother anymore so I completely shut my mouth and my mother exited the kitchen. She told Meera to hurry up because the first ceremony is about to start.
Meera sat on the chair under the Wedding Mandap and I sat beside her to take care of her and her look.All the relatives are seated surrounding the Wedding Mandap. Children are running from here to there, busy in playing and in their own worlds.Females are seated in the groups busy talking with each other.Males are seated in groups and busy talking with each other.My brother and other cousin brothers, uncles and my father are busy with arrangements.I looked around the Wedding Mandap but I couldn't find Aarav. I feel relaxed and relieved that now I don't need to ignore him.I hope I don't see him again today and he also won't find me and talk with me.I have to stay away from him tonight only then Tomorrow I have to go back to my home. I will get busy in my life again.My cousin sist
He tells me that" Hey, listen, just drink this water if you need it."And in my mind, it's like many thoughts are going on like why is he offering me water now and he is the same guy who gets angry with me in the morning. In the morning he was behaving like an angry jerk and right now he is giving me water like a gentleman who cares for me without even knowing me when I get busy in thinking about this he seat beside me before I again get lost in my thoughts he gives me a glass of water again and this time I just take that without thinking of other things and drinks that water.He starts saying " I'm not good at giving company to someone and especially in this kind of situation but I feel like I should sit here and talk with you. I hope that you don't mind it".His words are much different than I actually thought about him and I'm feeling lonely in the house full of people including my siblings because today is the day wh
In the last, He says to me that " Goodbye and I hope we will meet soon"After telling him that I go a little distance and shout "I'm coming Raj" Because I know him. If I don't give him a reply he will shout my name again and again.If I take a long time after telling him that I'm coming he will surely start searching for me. So before he came here I told Aarav 'Goodbye'.I told him that 'we will meet soon' but I'm not sure if we will meet or not. But his reply that I hope we will meet soon makes me think that he really hopes that we meet again. I pray that his hope will come true. He is not a bad guy but he gets angry too easily.I want to look at him one more time before leaving that place completely because I don't know if in the future we will talk or not. We will meet or not without thinking much. I looked at him and smiled. He is still looking at me and he also smiled.
I wake up little late in the morning when my mother wakes me up and after taking a bath I get dressed up in Black colour simple Kurti and red colour leggings and tied up my hair in a simple ponytail and when I come out of the room my mother is not inside the house and my siblings are doing their breakfast. So I take my seat beside Raj. Everyone is about to finish their breakfast. I wish everyone 'Good morning' and they wish me the same.When I take my coffee and breakfast in a plate and at that time everyone has finished their breakfast and about to stand up and I'm almost going to say that 'hey please someone stop and gives me company till I finish my breakfast' and I noticed that Aarav is coming towards the dining table where I was seated and he seat opposite me.My all cousins say me that " You're a late dear and our parents are in a hurry because we all have to leave so we have to go for doing the packing of bags before leaving from here
