My extended family. Brother Ketan. In-laws. My cousins. Everyone who has ever loved me.
With that, its time for One Indian Girl .
Some people are good at taking decisions. I am not one of them. Some people fall asleep quickly at night. I am not one of them either. It is 3 in the morning. I have tossed and turned in bed for two hours. I am to get married in fifteen hours. We have over 200 guests in the hotel, here to attend my grand destination wedding in Goa. I brought them here. Everyone is excited. After all, it is the first destination wedding in the Mehta family.
I am the bride. I should get my beauty sleep. I cant. The last thing I care about right now is beauty. The only thing I care about is how to get out of this mess. Because, like it often happens to me, here I am in a situation where I dont know what the fuck is going on.
W hat do you mean, not enough rooms? I said to Arijit Banerjee, the lobby manager of the Goa Marriott.
See, what I am trying to explain is Arijit began in his modulated, courteous voice when mom cut him off.
Its my daughters wedding. Are you going to shame us? she said, her volume loud enough to startle the rest of the reception staff.
No, maam. Just a shortage of twenty rooms. You booked a hundred. We had only promised eighty then. We hoped to give more but the chief minister had a function and
What do we tell our guests who have come all the way from America? mom said.
If I may suggest, there is another hotel two kilometres away, Arijit said.
We have to be together. You are going to ruin my daughters wedding for some sarkaari function? my mother said, bosom heaving, breath heavyclassic warning signs of an upcoming storm.
Mom, go sit with dad, please. I will sort this out, I said. Mom glared at me. How could I, the bride, do all this in the first place? I should be worried about my facials, not room allocations.
The boys side arrives in less than three hours. I cant believe this, she muttered, walking to the sofa at the centre of the lobby. My father sat there along with Kamla bua, his elder sister. Other uncles and aunts occupied the remaining couches in the lobbya Mehta takeover of the Marriott. My mother looked at my father, a level-two glare. It signified: Will you ever take the initiative?
My father shifted in his seat. I refocused on the lobby manager.
What can be done now, Arijit? I said. My entire family is here.
We had come on the morning flight from Delhi. The Gulatis, the boys side, would take off from Mumbai at 3 p.m. and land in Goa at 4. Twenty hired Innovas would bring them to the hotel by 5. I checked the time2.30 p.m.
See, maam, we have set up a special desk for the MehtaGulati wedding, Arijit said. We are doing the check-ins for your family now.
