After a long time, but i atlast made to post it...
A cherishing , unforgettable and superb moment ...
Lingaraj Weds Anupama...
Mails showering in outlook gmail inboxes from last 2 months ... Hovered in our heart is still the
moment that we wud never forget... The D day..
Still lingers in our minds those best times ,
those hard times when we were required the most.. more imp that we are required
at our office sometimes at Lingu's Wedding...
Lingu wud say thanks to Shivu, Veeresh and
Sharan on the fact that, they helped him out to sort out the "panga"
at house...
A more talked abt love story and a much more
amazing one i guess.. From the college corridors to hostel lawns... And from
office bays to apartment balconies.. the saga continued.... Love remains
evergreen and blooming...
I think i wud be the best guy to post this on
blog, as i had been to the marriage 2 days ahead.... and the experiences we
shared... Paddya and Malya inclusive....
We started our journey ... and log bolthe hai..
Koi bhi accha kaam karne se pehle mitha ho jaaye.. but Hotel Casino... Counter
shot... ha ha.. Thoda nasha ho jaaye.. :D
Day 1 ..
Friday 2nd Dec...
Reached at 5 AM, and thinking of our future at
Vasan.. we went to sulabh Souchalaya... Take no risk man... And later to Madari
grama... VASAN... 100 ft road as highlighted and much appreciated by lingu we
reached .. and in that 100 ft.. 40 each covered by opposite houses and left out
20 covered by cowdung and tractors around.. whatever left was very much
spacious i guess.... No offences on that.. Just kidding...We were given one
full house, to our surprise it was better than any other house in the village
.. only panga is Natural Call.... Where shall we go...
Lingu to our rescue... "Nadrile
Canal aithi, alle hogunu...".. Two bikes zoomed to the near by
canal.... And three people in the fields of Vasan, enjoying the view and nature
and Natural call .... aaaaaaaaaaaaa
Yen idenidenu... chittara bhumi banu...
Everyone sharing there life time experience of
nature call, but i was worried about how to get water, with one
"Chambu"... he he.. Lingu to the rescue... The water man.. and issue
resolved..
Warning : As this post is public, i intend to
write nuisance upto certain limit else.. it wud be filled with beep.. or ****..
For more details on the above incident ... Video is available for the same for
$1000 and discount for apt 310 guys $500 only.. Offer valid till video

Came back to house, and got ready.. Breakfast.... Awesome Uppit
and churamari.. and shenga holgi... and the most wonderful was Chocolate Assam
tea.. Most favourite of Paddya... and the interesting part..
We were eating it in papers, no issues on that , as we already
have ate this way, but paddya ate so much that two three layers of paper
couldnt withstand uppit... But it was Finger Licking Good.. Kant Purthi
tindvi..
Cant write more abt lunch , as we had it two times and paddya
ate both the time as he was eating it for the first time..
Tractor ge mic katti, band baja togonda, joragi barshkontha

both male and female version singing by a blind guy.. he was from Gavaigala
ashram..
Shiva arrives.. POLO.. with Narra.... evening around 6 and we
are at temple for pooja...
Shivu being asked by one old man " Sirra nivu car nimmdanna
ri..." Shivu reply " Illri, nann car driver ri, and showed to Narra
and said " Avri car owner"... for getting away as he wud ask money...
Later that night, we all had little food , as we had to keep
our stomachs empty for the RC....2ltr RC
, 4 ltr water, one charigi, egg curry, rotti, and onda 40w bulb..
On the tatpatri, in the yet to be completed
building and no sound around.. our badluck was no glasses.. everybody
everyother wud get it .. finally.. charigi and bottle helped us to go high..
Day 2...
Sandaas drive with POLO- River side sandaas and many funny
instances… Shivu would personally share it if u are interested .. Just
Jockeying J
We left from Vasan to Chota Mumbai… Hubli…
Keshwapur circle, Sarvodaya lodge was in everyone’s list..
unpacked got fresh .. Everyone was assigned with one or the other thing..
everyone was busy.. from guest’s GPS to Grocery…. Vegetables to decorating the
stages.. Kitchen to make up and dress codes… Water to Whisky..
Sangunda… being to told to get poppers, in the end tells me..
Le pachya sorry le… me: yak le yen aitha… him: I forgot to get
it le.. and later me and paddya went to market to get it… on the way went to
grocery store.. and later booked our very own SR.
As everyone , most probably each of us have given our first big
party at this restaurant.. BVB guys 5 % discount….
At around 6, I thought of getting trim my beard and moustache
and just asked malya.. and the count increased to four.. nann nann nann
barthini hajamathi ge.. four in the saloon shop getting same thing done, trim
and head massage.. navaratna tel..
At the time of engagement, lingu had to get ready, and dhanakayava
lingya.. le pachya.. I don’t have make up items le..
I asked him “ matta yen Ha****** bandhi yen”then went and got
make up things… later he wore sherwani and I asked him, what abt kolapuri
jhuti/chappal.. le pachya nike chappal hakonthini le mast kanatha illa andra
ninda chappal koda andha.. nann teli girrrrrrr antha.. thadi antha hel..
I ran to the exit, took
bike and went around,,, and asked few shops and every said.. sir ra station
road nyaga sigathavri chappal.. zoomed..
in that tension,, hanamant.. le nanaga swalpa bus stand ge bidathiya
andha.. avanga alle station ge bitta and
took kolapuri jhuti and came back and made him wear it,.. and it was exact
match for sherwani..
Later , bride and groom got ready and we were already 2 hour delayed
for the bachelor party, and everyone was on there toes to run to SR, once the
couple sits on the chair we would move was the plan and we did that .. chachu
tappadhe odi hontivi..
Had booked for 40 , and we had taken 2 ltr RC with us ,,,
SR- common drinks were ordered , not to make it people
specific,, but things don’t go ur way when u plan to.. Whiskey- RC RS…. Beer-
Bud, KF, Wine… sprite,thumbs up… papad, raja masala, onion pakoda, egg pakoda,
chicken tikka, kalmi kabab, boiled eggs, roti, rice, curd rice, chicken curry ,
veg curry and later an omelet on the floor…
Small fights, gr8 discussions and boasting of power and hold,
and thinking of wives at 7th drink,,,, many more incidents..
Thanks to Anand, Malya, Shashi for the help..
No idea wat was going at this moment at the kalyana mantapa..
but these guys were totally drunk and uncontrollable.. some how everyone reached back.. with some
backup of 1 RC for non party attendees..
Terrace rooms, 20 beds in place and no one was willing to sleep ,
but play andar bahar was in everyone’s mind..
Ultimate veeresh- first hour 50 ri, next annara.. 100… kakara
200.. mamara.. he he 500…
The game went on till 5 and many lost few won much but in the end it was gr8 fun and I still had
to give money to some,,, as I lost too..
Forgot to mention.. whenever u see veeresh u had to say Wooow..
yen le veerya 15 kg kadimi agi alla, full swargi bitti alla le…
Day 3...
Next day when I got up, I see only one guy beside me veeresh and
no one else is there , I thot , time wud be 11 12 types, it was 830 and
everyone else had left .. I had no shirt.. somebody had took it.. and I had ask
someone his shirt for rent till lodge,,,
Got ready, decorating stage, well done by veer, shivu, manja,
paddya and others.. Arranging things.. Kitchen,,,
“Manja Curd 10 ltr tongond bale jaldi”
“ Hanamya bari heluda aitha kelsa mada”
“hova hardra??? Matta poppers yelli adava”
“yen khataranak Jodi pa Amitabh bachhan Jaya bachhan”
“nidaka yar adar alle”
“lorry bandhva le nalku, tumbuttha iga dining hall”
In the dressing room…couples getting ready for their best day of
life.. most imp and infact Once in a lifetime moment….
Lingu wearing a black suit with magenta tie which we purchased
at PN Rao… guys this is the place where everyone has taken their once wear
marriage suit…
and even hanam,shivu and veer wore their marriage suits which
eventually was of gr8 effort to put on….some manage to tuck it into their
overgrown bellies..
As the couples got ready, GM and sangunda were unready with
poppers and flowers.. all of made it look so beautiful..
Couples arriving .. Flowers showering ..and poppers popping…to
invite them to the stage .. for the final showcase…
Me and sangunda at stage “ le yavag patt anas bek le … I told
him wait until the couple faces the audience… he again asked “yavag le” I kept
on telling him wait … yak le gundya yest desperate???
At stage with Shasya and santya.. stopping people to not make a
crowd on stage… for videos and pics, one lady told “yaka yappa, hangyaka dukha katthi.. and
pushed shashya.. unfortunately he didn’t get hurt .. he he..
Stage hangama--- All of us.. a group.. all associated to Apt
310… cheering.. “ Lingaraj maharaj ki jai.!!! Anupama maharani ki
jai!!!... “ and lifting lingya was a biggest task.. but however we did and were
successful…. In the meanwhile shivu and hanam were also lifted up and hanam was
dropped to the floor.. and we didn’t even think of veeresh being lifted, as the
thought of doing was itself so heavy… “ Woow, yen le veerya 15 kg kadmi aagi”
We managed the people downstairs… People versus technology… LCD
tvs around … and people on their bums down making a contrast…
Quoting again… never mind
Watchmen- Me shivu,anand, chetan,sangu and many others stood at
the entrance of the dining hall for controlling people .. funny situation.. Me
wearing blazer and jeans.. khatarnak and talking to them like “ Akkara
ond aidha nimasha , olaga gaddla aithi… nindaraku jaga illa” .
Grooms shows being stolen by the bride’s friends.. and again as
usual I came to the rescue.. plunged and jumped.. dragged the shoes from their
hands… they didn’t get even a penny..
Later we all, with the couple had our lunch.. Couple in single
plate and single spoon... plate filled and lingu was busy eating than letting
her eat… check this below pic.. u can get to know what happened…
And then came the moment
unforgettable, never seen him so senti..kuch der pehle it was happy happy and
suddenly it turned out to be moment of longing .. moment u just don’t want to
go away.. we all realized that we would never be this way again, we can never
have such a wonderful life..
When we bid adieu to lingu, he was in tears and thanked for all we did.
“Waqt sab kuch bhula deta hai, ghav kitna bhi gehra ho, waqt ka
marham sab tik hi kartha hai…”
Then we all met at Whitehorse ( earlier whitehouse as santya had
told us) , he told us to come near SRs, we thot it as SR.. we missed a ‘S’ in
SRS and we had big confusion.. we again had some beer..
Funny incident over there.. Veeresh explaining “Ambience” was
awesome and malya not knowing what it means… and some khatarnak English words
by veeresh , stole the show..
We all returned with sweet memories to cherish and joyous moments
to remember… and till date we are still talking abt “The Wedding”
We all wish Lingaraj and Anupama a very happy life ahead
together…
With Love
Apt 310.
Apologies, If some lines
