They were AT Saket at 6, Krishan a man who was a stickler for maintaining appointments, finding the apartment took over 10 minutes, when they rang the door bell it was past 6:15 PM
Radhika was dressed in a pink skirt and an olive green top, Rachit and his wife Ananya were present, dressed formally.
There wasnt enough time to arrange for family to arrive...........
Dadaji, Dadiji, Mridula, Pawan, Krishan,and RAGHAV represented the groom tonite, Padmini was expected to arrive later from an emergency surgery at Fortis....
Sushil's was visibly shaky and nervous, he had changed three pairs of eye glasses already, he wore a silk kurta pyjama outfit, Sudha wore a saree in offwhite and marroon........
Sushil grabbed and yanked the door handle, it was latched at the bottom, he almost broke it in the process, Sudha looked at him exasperatedly "Rukiye to, neeche locked hai"
Sushil: Kitni der se khare hain bahar!!
Sudha: Bus ek minute se (sarcastic)
Sushil: Mere BOSS hain bhai
Sudha: Yahi to rona hai (frustrated
Sushil stared at his wife angrily.........
Rachit: Papa woh aapko sun nahi sakte but dekh sakte hain (smiling)
Sudha opened the steel/glass door smiling like a pacifist
Krishan joined his hands in namaste, as if in sync they all did.........
Sudha smiled "Andar to aayiye aap"
Dadi hugged her as she handed her atleast 4 bags of somethings
Raghav stood at the very back, dressed in tan 6 pocket trousers and a white shirt....... shirt in many places, his glasses were high on his nose, the soul patch a slightly different shape...... his eyes scanned the room for his girl...........
Dadi: Ghar to sundar hai
Mridula: Very elegant Mrs Tripathi
Sudha: I cant take any credit, hamare yahan Gopi hai.... main saara din college mein rehti hoon
Dadaji: The future of our country lays in your hands and mind
Guffaws, nobody joins him at first Sushil and Rachit try their best to later..........
Sushil is all smiles.......
Krishan seats himself quietly
Pawan chats with Rachit, Dadi looks at the massive curio shelf that contains the brassware from the Tripathis' glory days....... she is quite impressed
Sushil quickley observes that and jumps up and gives her a quick lesson........
Dadaji looks at the three almirahs of books, stuffed tight....... some on the verge of falling off
Gopi brings water.........
Ananya shuts the balcony door and draws the curtain in order to bring privacy from Peeping Toms across the block.......
Raghav is on his phone, looks up once in a while
The adults chat for 10 or so minutes......
Sushil: Kaise ho beta?
Raghav: Good...
Sushil: Radhika kahan hai bhai?
Raghav scans the room....
Gopi fetches her........
She is on the PHONE!
Hangs up smiling gloriously
Jumps up almost seeing Raghav " TUM kab aaye"
Composes herself after Sudha sucks her breath in in shock
Radhika: Namaste! (she smiles)
Dadi winks
Krishan nods expressionlessly.......
Raghav: Namaste (smiling)
LOL!!!! Radhi's excitement seeing Raghav & then the namaste & him returning the same..So nice..
