What a start of the series of weekend outings! - Jhuu’s wedding : Long awaited Ernakkulum Junction and Family Fun!


Christy came over to our coach and asked if I needed anything. We had medhu vada and then sat together yapping. Satz’s phone rang and I woke him up. After the call, we trio had bhajji at Thrissur station. We saw Kim swinging like a pendulum on the seat. It is hard to imagine. I will make it simpler. She would sleep with her legs facing the window for some time, wake up and affirm that she is not able to sleep. Again sleep on the berth but this time with her head near the window. Once we reached Ernakkulum town, we got ready. A2B called in between and we coordinated for our accommodation. Through the journey as we got closer to the destination, I kept texting Bezy on Whatsapp and the information is again classifieds as she would shy off.

At the Ernakkulum junction station, we off-boarded the train and walked towards the exit and caught the share auto guy as it seemed to be cheaper than any taxi services. He got us to our destination and we met Bezy and A2B.

We got our rooms keys and entered to freshen up. A2B and Bezy told us about the plan of the evening function so that we can go around sightseeing if we wished to. Christy and Satz already bathed and told us to get ready too as we were all feeling hungry. Quickly freshened up and the four of us set out to look for a restaurant. We had Biryani, and appam and kadallai curry. Nothing matches the taste of Biryani in Chennai. After lunch, we decided to head to our hotel room for a small nap. It was just 2 hours nap and we started to Marine drive around 5.30 PM.

We took the share auto and reached marine drive. I was disappointed as I was imagining the Marine drive in Mumbai. My bad! We still had fun because all that mattered was we being together. We clicked lot of selfies. The sky seemed to darken and we thought it would be the usual dusk. Well, that’s not what it was. The clouds were getting darker as time passed by.

We finally decided to scoot out as we had real big droplets hitting us from the sky. Yes simply – Raining. It was so nice breeze that I mentioned to my friends – I wish we could ride when it is heavily raining. There came the heavy down pour as we crossed the road and ran to a shelter. As the rain took some break, Satz would approach the running auto to ask for drop. Kim followed him too. Christy and I waited under the shelter. The moment the auto wala was fine, kim entered and took to fleet and as the 2nd one to jump into the auto. Then Christy and then Satz. So it was Kim and Satz who were seated at the end of the auto. Christy and I were not much affected by the downpour. Immediately Satz turned to me and mocked at me reiterating my statement – Is this how much you enjoy rain that you pushed me aside and ran inside the auto. We couldn’t stop laughing. As we neared our hotel, we took to heels again. Back in our rooms, we quickly changed into dryer clothing and assembled again to view the match. After that started out stories again. Classifieds!!! Please do not ask.

A2B called and said they were waiting for us at the function. Kim than told her we will come once the rain gets a little lighter. We quickly changed again and headed out of the hotel after 10 mins. We took an auto and reached Jhuu’s aunt’s place. The auto guy dropped us a few meters away. The sound of celebration was so loud that it led us to the right house.

The moment we were in, we could hear A2b screaming at the top of her voice. As usual excited HAK (Hyper active Kid). All the ladies were dressed alike. Jhuu still made it evident by wearing the sash which read – TO Be Bride! The whole family was singing and dancing. Every family person welcomed us with broad smile. I was so amazed to see even the children greeting us, as king our names and welcoming us. The warmth was so nice. Satz got special attention. He enjoyed it and got to have a quick glass of his drink. Christy had little vine. Satz was back with us too quick and then we had our dinner. There were dance movements and little gala time. The family dint seem to stop for the night. They took a quick nap for 15 mins yet the men of the family were singing all throughout.
Jhuu’s father was all smiles and sang his heart loud. We couldn’t understand and follow anything though. But a father’s happiness definitely knew no bounds and it reflected on his face. The fairly was back in action. Played songs, danced to the tunes of their heart though. 

Kim seemed to have problem with receiving network on her mobile. A2B guided her to the terrace and returned to us and said that Kim will be at the terrace for some time. Satz asked why not we all head to the terrace. We dint waste time and were there at the terrace. We spoke again unrelated happening. It took me by surprise when Satz mentioned about one of the wedding that was happening the next day. He lost it completely when I asked him why he never told me because he already told me that during our train travel. In fact he also showed me the pic of the to be couple too. The group just broke in big laughter at my reaction as I almost lost it and kept screaming – OMG KIM! OMG KIM! OMG KIM! OMG KIM!. I could not have been dumber I thought to myself.

Jhuu told us that one of her family member will drop us back. In about 15 mins we were set to leave. We had small topics to talk on our way. Uncle then mentioned that there was a shop close by which sold good Elaneer Shake. We were fine to try it. He took us to the shop but the shop was just shutting down. We decided to try it the next day.
