After taking a long break and lazing around in the monsoon sun (yes, monsoon doesn't bring rain here in Rajasthan, just exclusive monsoon sunshine), I have a lot to tell and share. Especially about the vacation I recently went on with my family.
With our house in making and several other responsibilities, how we convinced my father to agree for this vacation, I have no idea. Thankful to my mother's friend in Sangli, Maharashtra, who's daughter's wedding invitation caused us to go.
When my father showed the slightest signs of approval, without further ado, I booked the plane tickets for our journey to Pune from Jaipur for 7th of July and our return tickets by train from Mumbai to Jodhpur on 13th of July.

We had to attend the wedding functions and they were wonderful. My mother has some really cool friends. Those ladies were so affectionate towards my mother and welcomed us so heartily even when they were busy.
The wedding reception was amazing. It was monsoon themed and boy, it seemed really cool. The stage backdrop was potted plants with a mechanism that looks like it was raining because I could see water running. The ceiling was decorated with 400 upturned umbrellas and the lighting kept changing to blue and pink and the music, Ah, the music. My favorite part. There was a band playing the most beautiful Bollywood compositions and the piano! The grand white piano. I just couldn't take my eyes off it. I'll share the video of the same on my Instagram soon.
Apparently, my brother doesn't like being captured.
The best part though wasn't the decoration but the fact that the food items were restricted to 16 in total. Less in number but amazing in taste and quality. Indian weddings are known for their pomp and show, their extravagance, but this one, this wedding in Sangli was the first one to keep the number of delicacies served to 16 which goes easily upto 80-100 in any big fat Indian wedding. Times are changing and so will the society, one wedding at a
