    Dear Sridhar

    I understood the pain and the happiness in you in conducting your dd's wedding.

    I am a mother of a 22years old girl now. I dont know what in store for me. But I could recall my father's photo in the wedding album, while doing the Kannika Dhanam (sitting on his lap), that he was literally crying..... this I never saw during that point of time. We all saw only in the photos later. My father was so attached to me and me to him than to my mother.

    After wedding I moved to Delhi and always will be waiting anxiously for vacation to go to my parents' home / my home. I cannot part with that possessiveness. But alas, my parents are no more........ I always remember the struggle that they went thru in making we 4 daughters into the persons we are now.

    Sridhar, my throat is heavy and remembering my father for the little fights that we had during the growing years while reading your love for your daughter.

    The fatherly love will never diminishes towards his daughter............. at any time.

    Wishing Good Luck to Sou Preethi & Chi. Anandan.

    Kind Rgds
    Shanti

    Dear Nandhu,
    thanks. Yes now it looks that we have taken the right decision. But to arrive at it we had to pass through many painful moments, many days of agony and uncertainty.

    Thanks for invoking the blessings of God on our daughter and sil.

    Dear Radhi,

    I wanted to write a factual write up. But having written emotional pieces all my life I could not stop my fingers from dancing on the key-board to produce this rather highly emotional account of what happened. But remember Radhi I have not shared this with anybody else in the family except of course my DW, Indhu.
    In fact when I write a blog or story I had to go back and forth many times. But this time as I was writing from the heart and writing only those things that touched my heart it was like a point to point travel from beginning to end.
    The girl's father is in a pecuilar position. After the marriage he is happy, relieved, tense, sad, apprehensive, uncertain, sure, jumps in joy, cries in priave.. you may add a hundred more contradictory states of mind, and yet you could not describe the father's mind.

    Who knows I may be writing more on this experience or would make it part
    of some story or serial.

    Thanks for the compliments you paid to my wife. If I tell her about this she might skip eating for a few days.
    thanks once again,
    love,
    sridhar

    Dear Varloo,
    You are right, varloo. The bottom-line is the happiness on the face of the girl, and the boy too. If that's not there even if the wedding was to be celebrated in a golden palace it would be a pointless ritual.
    You know Varloo this is the point I have been crying hoarse in all my blogs. While worshipping God this love, this happiness, these tears are important. If that is not there even if we do penance standing on the sharp tip of a needle it would be a pointless ritual.
    I am happy to know that you were present in heart and spirit on the wedding day and blessed the couple.
    thanks a lot for the same.
    regards,
    sridhar

    Dear DD,
    Hari Om. Thanks for coming to Preethi akka's marriage in heart and spirit. It has been my pleasure to share those happy moments with my younger daughter.
    You are right, Noolu pola sele. After seeing Indhumma and I, people would start thinking how did this lady choose this fellow?
    love,
    your acchan

    Dear Shree,
    That million dollar smile on my DDs face was the goal and object of all these efforts, understanding and compromises. It was my pleasure to take you through the wedding with those snaps.

    The presence of ILites added a charm to the marriage. Ladies who are not related to me or Indhu, but tied more tightly by the ropes of love and friendship, attendng the wedding.. well if that's not a highlight what else is?

    Thanks for your kind wishes to us and to the children. yes, I'm back and you can soon expect some fireworks from me.

    More feast will surely come. But not in the form of pictures. But ... just wait for a week at the maximum.
