When i heard this song for the first time, i was like totally in love with it. I have no clue why..Ok i know this is a cheap remix of aj mere yaar ki shaadi hai .. but you should know whose blog you are reading :)Finally i got a reason to sing this song after so many years.Yes, this sunday it was my Mom and Dad's silver jubilee Marriage Anniversary!!! The celebrations went on in three phases:
Round 1
Had to wake up at 7am! There was a havan at home. Our family punditjee came to perform the havan. (If you guys can have family doctors, why cant i have a family pundit? ). The havan ceremony was cool with me half asleep and smoke all around! Phew. Attended by only 5 members in my home. (Who the hell would come from outside to attend a havan at 7 am? Yeah, laziness runs in the genes!)
Round 2
Finally the lazy close relatives woke up and reached my home by lunch. The lunch party was for the closest relatives (mamas, massis, chachas and buas and their families). It continued till late afternoon, post which all the male members ran out of home to some or the other work! And the female members organized a ladies sangeet function.. Singing all sasural genda fool type of songs ( i seriously never heard a single song which they sang ever before! ) (and what was i doing there? I was the official fotographer :D )
Round 3
Everyone vanished from home! Females stocked up to the parlor to get ready (seriously? they din learn how to get ready till now? In so many years?) anyways.. It was a punjabi function, so we did not expect any guests till over 1.5 hours of the time on invitations! Anyways my mom is the most punctual of all family members. She reached the venue only 1 hour late than the decided time! And i reached the venue 2 hours late! (ok, dont give me dirty stares! I was the official bar-tender for the evening! Hic!)
The party was ekdum dhinchak... with only close people invited ( i never knew i had over 150 close people?)
The main items of the evening were
1) Cake in the shape of 25
2) Champagne flying ceremony (obviously by the official bar-tender)
3) Jaimala ceremony
4) Ring exchange ceremony - I tried a lot that my dad should propose my mom.. but guess he was shy :D ..
The DJ was awesome.. he started "Tujhe doohla kinne banaya bhootni ke" song as soon as my dad came on the stage! The tempo on the DJ rose from there and didn't come down till the next 2-3 hours till he finally played "jab koi baat bigad jaaye.." song (my mom and dad practiced the couple dance only on this song! So they din do it on any other slow song :D )The party was awesome! Had some nice fun and a lot of you know bar-tender stuff :D .. and yeah.. a lot of memories to cherish !
This was the reason why i was busy over past so many days! And a hearty thanks to my sis and massi to force me to do preparations for the party.. otherwise you know.. laziness runs in the genes :D
