Perfect Indian Wedding
An innocent girl with a ton heavy Saree
was wedding’s most looked up Naree
she had, or was on make up it was difficult to identify
ceremonies lined up; she gave her best try
good for nothing ladies gave arrangement a curse
groom's dad was quiet; mother busy filling purse
saali's tantrum made jija feel shy
mama and chacha were already so high
ladies’ delight at the function of mehandi
dadi and bua enjoyed pedicure for free
bride was busy since last afternoon
a lottery, a jackpot for the nearby saloon
she couldn’t speak coz of layers of make up
dada was busy in his own world of gup shup
kids were enjoying the bumpy mickey game
aunties were talking and believe me it was lame!
everyone's eyes were glued to the clock
food area got opened; crowd ran like a flock
guests dint knew the groom or the bride
they come-eat-go, maintaining their 'pride'
joota churai collects handsome money for saalis
poor tambu waala was bombarded with gaalis
till the time of feras everyone is asleep
then starts vidaii - 'a dream session to weep'
at last comes, the family session of tear shedding
these tadkas and masalas cook a perfect Indian wedding!
