Usha's marriage


Attended Usha Kiran's marriage yesterday (23rd Nov). It was nice ride on the bike from my place of work to Panambur (around 22 kms). Had to detour in the middle near Kudupu as Shashti festival was being celebrated there. Police were not allowing any vehicles to pass through during the afternoon since the rath (temple's car) was being pulled at that time. There was a huge crowd.
Met lot of my ex-colleagues in the marriage (was expecting it anyway, which was my another agenda to attend the marriage!). I think the other advantage of standing in a long queue to wish the wedding couple is that you get to chat a lot with your friends - that's how I effectively used my queue waiting time (Hmm... Is there any clue that we can get from it in devising scheduling algorithms while designing operating systems to improve their overall performance? :-)
It's been long since I had seen her; so it took a while to recognize her from far! :) Later when we met her - it was typical Usha at her best. She was introducing us to her hubby by effortlessly telling our names as if we were working with her till yesterday! However, I'm not sure if she could remember all those who had come for her marriage (as usual with any newly wedded folks)
Met many other folks during lunch time too. Overall, we had a very nice time. Thanks Usha for the opportunity. Wishing you both a very happy, colorful, joyous and successful married life!
