20060119 - 20060122 Delhi


Guess what? :-D since I have joined HP, all I have been looking out for is a reason; a reason to take a vacation; and I just came back from another, though relatively short, but a wonderful one!

Amrita's wedding was scheduled on the eve of 19th Jan, and my b'day was on 20th Jan. Timing was perfect, and like I said, I just needed a reason :-D. Wedding was amazing. My ex-gf is Bengali, so I was quite curious to know about the Bengali wedding. Its really interesting. :)

Didn't quite celebrate my birthday, but met up with my relatives and friends in Delhi. And I really enjoyed that.

The red kurta that I was wearing during reception, on 22nd afternoon, was a birthday gift from Anjali. I got compliments from everyone I knew tht I was looking nice :-D Thank you Anjali! :)

Here are a couple of my fav pics... :)

@empress: Even I didn't know a thing about the bengali wedding even though I'm from India. That's coz every state in India has its own tradition. The wedding was really amazing... :) And I'm not sayin nythin further... :-D lol!
