The Get together day!

They are the guests at the entrance just before the starting of the Satsang. We reached the venue just in time after Satsang and the local guests started pouring in. The introduction of the young couple to the guests and the lunch program went on for three hours and then we all had our lunch at 3.00pm. Settled the bills by 4.00pm and all of us assembled in the house before leaving for Raipur for the guests to catch the train. After serving coffee and tea as per individual preference, started for Raipur by 7pm.
It was an emotional moment for all of us. Till date it was like one function after the other and this being the last one... my wife P was not able to contain her tears seeing off our daughter at the Railway Station. The best thing I could do is to bring her out before the train actually left!
Back home we both felt very lonely. The house was in total silence with all of them gone. My mother also left with them for Visakhapatnam. We missed her a lot as she was like a sheet anchor giving us all the emotional support we needed throughout the marriage!

I think it will be a nice experience to read all this after a few years! Thanks to blipfoto for providing this excellent platform for such a recording!
