Had a lot of fun in the wedding celebrations.. Took looots of fotos..

Here are some of them. :

The following pic is of “karanji”  a special Maharashtrian delicacy. It is made up of outer maida coating and stuffed with a filling made up of sugar, coconut and dry fruits. After the karanjis were made, few aunts actually took pains to paint the names of guests invited to the function on each karanji. How sweet is that :)

The next pic is of mehendi.. A cousin applied it to my hands a day before the wedding.. rendering my hands useless for the rest of the day, since I couldn’t touch anything for the fear of spoiling the design.  Washed it off, the next morning to get a lovely orange-brown colour. The pic shows my left hand and mum’s right hand.

Mehendi

My final pic for this post is my attempt at nature photography. I tried to capture a flower in the garden of the event venue.

Nothing new in the past few days..

Celebrated a friends birthday in lab. Got a delicious Zebra Tort cake and had lots of fun. Along with torturing the birthday gal, we also tortured a poor guy, who committed the crime of wearing pink kurta and pyjama :O… Almost everyone who came to the lab for cake cutting took the guys case for wearing suck a girly colour. By the end of day (or night :P ) he was christened pinky

The next few days I am going to have a blast. My friend is getting married. So three days of festivities are gonna keep me busy, starting with mehendi tomorrow.. Isnt it lovely :) . Though I love having mehendi on my hand, I cant seem to be able to apply it myself. Anyways, they will be calling professionals for this purpose, I just have to sit there and enjoy.

I will be wearing a saree on the actual wedding day. Since I didn’t know how to wear a saree, my mom helps me wear it every time, I practiced wrapping one yesterday. It was such fun. I hope I will learn to wear it soon. I have to be able to wear it myself after marriage :( (

Thats all for now, will be back with some wedding pics..
