on the home front, Mansi didi's sangeet was canceled keeping in mind the current safety concerns and as a form of our pleadge of alliance to Mumbai. so a low key affair was held at the house to get the "seekh" from the groom's side. then Mansi didi's mehndi was being applied. and bridal mehndi's are plain awesome, even though they give me a fit of sneezes every time. (i am allergic to nilgiri they put in mehndi). it was fun to pull her leg, and she could do nothing about it. bwhahahahaha!
my dad's best friends daughter, Chandani's sangeet however was held as per as schedule, to show that no terrorism can dampen out spirits, that life must go on. they had a theme of Saree and cocktail gowns, "Oscar night". everyone looked pretty in their gowns and dresses. my mom thought i looked "hot" even though i looked pretty much bloated up! lol...thanks to Nipa didi for the dress i was wearing. love you sweetie! oh they had question and answer round for who knew the bride and groom, one question, if you get it right you get a prize. i won a prize in that! i knew what college Chandani studied in. hehehehe!
Deepti aunty (Chandani's mom) had arranged a catwalk competition for females, males and couples. we didn't know but it seemed we were contestants, me and Moni both. yeah also my parents for the couple category. as it is world renowned that i am dead scared of stage or anything to do with people staring at me, i was petrified at the prospect of catwalking! turns out i did well. according to my dad first time i didn't look nervous on the stage. yay! turns out my practising self confidence talks in front of the mirror worked! though i didn't win, my confidence is totally on a high.
there was dance and there was food. other than pretty much normal for a sangeet night. and yeah a few cute guys here and there, the catwalk helped in locating them =P
tomorrow is Mansi didi's "mandava" ceremony, other than that pretty much a free day. cya tomorrow!
