You just gave Tamil Serial makers an episode. I dont know if you would be elated or deflated - exactly *this* was an episode of a recent serial, which, I happened to unfortunately catch glimpses of in passing. With some masala added like a villainous bridegroom-and-his-dad, faithful auto-driver-friend-cum-silent-suitor and all.You have a safe alternate career :-)rajnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-1118743403987878062005-06-14T15:33:23.986+05:302005-06-14T15:33:23.986+05:30Lux - you should read my sequel to this post 'She did.

I wrote them well amidst pressures. Both the wedding and the exams have become the memorable events of my life :))<BR/><BR/>Its a big story as to how i approached them one by one until my birthday and thats when I wrote my last exam.<BR/><BR/>Nice to know that people discuss about anything and everything in this site.

When we subtly reminded her that she will be vanishing after the Muhurtam to take her exam, she managed a sheepish grin and left it at that.<BR/><BR/>She is a smart and sensitive young woman and I respect the fact that her choices are different from mine. However, I am concerned that she is biting off more than she can chew. And I am saying this because I am reasonably aware of other difficulties that she has gone through in the past few months. Given that and the fact that a marriage is definitely a huge emotional challenge, I would be the first one to advise anyone against writing an exam on one's own wedding day.<BR/><BR/>Look at the case of my friend: <BR/>-> 6:00 - 7:30am she gets married<BR/>-> 8:30am she sets off to the exam hall<BR/>-> 10:00am - 1:00pm she writes her paper<BR/>-> 3:00 - 4:30pm (this is a guesstimate) she takes part in her Nalangu function<BR/>-> 4:30 - 6:00pm she gets ready for her reception<BR/>-> 6:30pm - 9:00pm she stands and smiles non-stop at her reception<BR/>-> post 9pm the elaborate ceremony for the wedding night<BR/>-> 8:30am the next morning she is off for her second exam paper.<BR/><BR/>Oh Please - why the pressure?Echo/Lavanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08814806570260310180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-1117523700397143102005-05-31T12:45:00.396+05:302005-05-31T12:45:00.396+05:30Hey Eroteme - I think she might do away with the garland but I am sure the remnants of the makeup will show on her face. And the mehendi designed to be the brightest on the wedding day will capture the attention of a lot of people. Tomorrow is going to be fun :)<BR/><BR/>Hey Anonymous - I am still hoping that she takes it easy tomorrow and decides not to go and write the exam at the last minute.Echo/Lavanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08814806570260310180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-1117451170043154282005-05-30T16:36:10.043+05:302005-05-30T16:36:10.043+05:30Your friend is absolutely nuts to be taking an exam on the day of her marriage.

When I met her a couple of days earlier, she was still determined to write the exam. And the whole story is that she has exams from June 1 - 4. So the first exam is on her wedding day and the last one is on her birthday :)<BR/><BR/>Will let you guys know next week if she really wrote the paperEcho/Lavanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08814806570260310180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-1117189542365629622005-05-27T15:55:42.366+05:302005-05-27T15:55:42.366+05:30Iam so allergic to exams and tests and interviews.

In my opinion, it is straining oneself a little too hard. When there are very significant days, it is nice to savor them for just that. Adding an exam to the day puts a lot of pressure. And as I said, I wouldn't do it that way at all :DEcho/Lavanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08814806570260310180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-1117115673760556332005-05-26T19:24:33.760+05:302005-05-26T19:24:33.760+05:30what's wrong with exam and marriage on the same day? hahaaa...i'd do that!perspectivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17310317130042293021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-1116593937235972382005-05-20T18:28:57.236+05:302005-05-20T18:28:57.236+05:30well echo, this remains me of<BR/>K.Balanchander's movie...the<BR/>female characters potrayed by KB<BR/>would do some unheard and novel stuff,breaking the norms and <BR/>regular conventions of society but for a good, valid or for a noble cause...<BR/>I was also thinking for a while,<BR/>what work would be there after<BR/>early "Muhurtham" upto 10 AM..<BR/>The usual centiments would follow,<BR/>but anything substantial..I'm<BR/>not aware and not seen much..<BR/>certain people would take little<BR/>time to digest some unusual, unheard things..Any word , u know ??Phoenixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09736859181730857028noreply@blogger.com
