The guests arrive... |
|
|
Introducing everyone to each other |
|
|
All this for me? |
|
|
That's me with my sister, Gayathri and my friend, Shipra |
|
|
Nirmala - patiently explaining something to Kavin |
|
|
It's time for the Moms to gang up on the kids! |
|
|
And Annika (Shipra's daugther) looking pretty in red. |
|
|
Prashant and Annika - no pouting once Daddy is around! |
|
|
Prashant and Kulo |
|
|
How do I get flowers on my hair? |
|
|
More trials to fix the flowers... |
|
|
Well, can I get up and take a break already? |
|
|
No, coz' it's time to try on the bangles... |
|
|
And will they fit? |
|
|
Well, my hands are too big, I guess! |
|
|
No, I am not allowed to say that. So here I go again... |
|
|
I finally get something for being patient! |
|
|
More trials with bangles |
|
|
Wonder why everyone is looking so serious when I am trying on bangles...surely they are harmless? |
|
|
At least some are smiling by now! |
|
|
It's my turn now - I get to give the ladies bangles. |
|
|
Puffy hands - time to remove the rings before they have to be cut open! |
|
|
Aarthi after the ceremony |
|
|
I didn't know I could look so serious. |
|
|
Someone was taking too many close-ups! |
|
|
Lakshmi Aunty is the oldest in the group - it was strange putting bangles for her :-) |
|
|
Everyone gets prasad - well, it's just really tasty boondi... |
|
|
Shan opts for the sandalwood paste over the boondi |
|
|
I think we are done? |
|
|
Just one photo with Arun and Gayathri... |
|
|
Vamshika and me |
|
|
It's time to have some fun... |
|
|
Lakshmi Aunty is the proud winner of the 'Passing the Parcel'! |
|
|
Vamshika sets the stage for baby word unscrambling |
|
|
The kids migrate to the backyard |
|
|
Something interesting on the rock wall backing into our yard? |
|
That's the bottom of the rock wall - We were hoping the elephant could prevent a landslide ;-) |
|
|
Everyone seems to be happy - well, lunch is on the way! |
|
|
