The Year of Weddings

It all started in Indore. On 1st July, a large number of us visited Indore, a land of Bewda namkeen and excellent Poha. I was surprised to see that each shop in the market was selling Poha, even more than tea or smokes. Anyways, we stayed at a hotel near the wedding venue, indulged the usual things and were pretty lazy during the time when we should have danced.

In fact, a large part of our trip was engaged in changing clothes to handle the sweat. The luxurious hotel we stayed in was the saving grace that kept our spirits high, along with the real spirits. It all started with Bisai checking the local traveling options, when we were finding it tough to find a transport to the venue, the royal palace of Nahargarh in Ranthambore.

We met the couple, congratulated them.

Then quickly went on to enjoy the most exquisite Indian vegetarian buffet you would find.

We all went for a late night party to the palace and took a groupie.

Next day we went for the customary pool party in the palace, which quickly escalated to a water polo game between the friends of the groom and everyone else. And the winners were...
