One more Snippet, for my friend Saloni.

As we headed towards the bridal suite Simi aunty filled me in with details about Shanti’s bridegroom.

“Sushant is an investment banker. Really good salary I tell you. Well educated with a three bedroom house in his name on peddar road. What more could we ask for?”

I nodded. In Punjabi land that was more than enough. Dare I ask the most pertinent question? What the heck, it was a marriage. I’m sure a lot of guests would be curious.

“Is it a love marriage?”

“Of course not.”
