Cloudy, grey and cold

I havent started about Delhi weather yet. But I am talking about the conditions around. You dont understand, ok here's a clue. Go to news.google.com and find the top stories in India. Look what I got:
- something something 26/11
- 'cash-for-trust-vote' scam
- Terror camps in Bangladesh
- IAF starting preperations for attack on Pak
- Mumbai terror attack
I should stop now, adhereing to the madrasi rule of 5 (read paanch with your palm out and fingers away from each other).
What's this to do with the year end that it has always started to be so gloomy? I really cant solve the problem of terrorism except for not sniggering when they check my bag thrice (THRICE) while entering PTI. I really cant solve problem of economy by buying an extra pair of jeans or something like that. I really cant solve the problem of jobs except for finding one that pays me a bit more. . . . So what should I do?
I think that I should imagine the good times and what I should do today to enjoy those good times even more. I blindly believe that the good times will come. Imagine this, after some time when you click again on news.google.com you may see something like this:
- Sensex at a record high in last 25 years. PM Mannu says that India is poised to run the world.
- Britney Spears suit "malfunctions" at the show in Delhi
- India Inc. still short of 110,000 IT people. Special focus for middle level managers.
- Indian does a clean sweep at Commonwealth Games
- Domestic flights become even cheaper

With a imagination like this in my head and a promise of JD to myself on a cold winter night, I am looking forward to go through these times.

Hope for life and fear as well

This weekend was eventful. On the eve of Bakri-id, my cousin got 'processed'. He married a girl. To set the background, he is my maternal first cousin and a classical BE-MBA background. He got married to a girl who is a teacher in a school.
Like any Punjabi wedding, this marriage was fun and frolic. And ofcourse, full of dissatisfied relatives, loud noises, no adherence to time or care of discomfort to anyone. Sticking to the time (not as mentioned in the card), the baraat promptly arrived at 10:30 PM.

Please watch the video above to set the context right and believe me this was no different a marriage. The guy and the girl havent arrived when the massi made a comment. "I shouldnt have come, we have no role to play. My husband has no milni" and then he got one.
All was going well, till the maternal and paternal sides of the guy started arguing as to who will get the first snap with the couple. . . and ofcourse it was settled that the women will go together from both sides for the "1st snap" and then men never matter.

After the jaimala, when both sides were having dinner. Half of the population left because they were not invited to the table for dinner. After dinner, nobody was left to witness pheras. What happens after that nobody knows. Hope all went well and wish that the couple have a blissfull martial .. oops .. marital life ahead.
