I know I am not regular at
blogging these days and there isn’t a specific reason rather that a mild
disturbance with health and mind-set but overall the hot and humid weather
keeps me away from any activity and make me feel tired through the dry weather.
Though the intense summer month has passed down, the radiation of heat
continues to battle our part of the country and the late beginning of southwest
monsoon doesn’t seems to help much rather downpour in southern districts. But
when things were right on track; the cold began its activity and annoyed for
some time until couple of days back make me uncertain could I able to attend
the wedding party of my friend and fellow blogger
Rajesh of
DestinationInfinity.
Glad I felt better on Sunday and
I reminded my parents and brother about the get-together two days earlier so
that they could prepare for the evening. It wasn’t difficult for us reaching
his place and being Sunday there was very less traffic on the road and as I
learned he stays at ground floor house I was certain not to miss the chance
greeting him in person. I was thinking about getting some gift for the newly
wed, but I couldn’t conclude with an idea and my search on internet also didn’t
give hand and there isn’t time to place an order in online too. So decided to
present a chocolate box, as I thought it would be a safest way since no one
would dislike chocolates and it only gives pleasure whoever let it be when the
creamy layer melts inside can’t resist relish. Lol
Though he lives at ground floor,
unfortunately I couldn’t enter his home due to couple of steps at their
doorstep, but it wasn’t a matter to me because I am there to greet and share his
happiness while he enters a beautiful phase of his life. Rajesh looked very
smart and tucked in shirt and his wife Ramya in traditional attire (or perhaps
their wedding suit) was beautiful and smiley. I was comfort with their porch
and they treated us with juice as soon we enter and a light meal followed
later. I didn’t expect him to arrange for an early dinner (about 6pm) at an
unusual time, but we couldn’t say anything when the food container was already
at hold. Many talk but very few act according to what they say or think and
Rajesh is one of its kind and I know he’s health conscious and try anything which
is healthy.
And why I am saying this is because
what he organized for the dinner was Vegan food. I know he’s interested in
vegan style and have attended events relevant to vegan and what he consumes have
also transformed into millets. So no wonder he tied the difference and it also
worked well. I really liked the items served in the container but the only
thing was I couldn’t eat everything. The curd rice made with peanut milk, instead
of dairy, tasted very good and wasn’t much different from the regular. And also
the jiggery pongal was sweet enough along the main dish pulao, and it also
contains chapatti kurma and couple of side dishes. We have been the first guest
at the get-together but we couldn’t stay long to see many of them.
But glad I could meet another
blogger friend
Sandhya, known by many as
Maradhi Manni, before we decide to
move. Though I couldn’t talk with her rather greeting either, it was good
enough at least happen to see the person behind the blog. Back to Rajesh, he’s
one of my long-time friends in blogging and we have met couple of times at my
home and I really like his cheerful and smiling attitude. And I am sure it’s
going to be double, perhaps, joining with his wife who too has a smiling face and
sure to be kind enough going to sustain their happiness and smiles throughout
their lives. Wishing both a very happy, bright and beautiful married life!
Congrats DI
