Shruthi, the darling daughter of the house, had made a grand entrance accompanied by her husband and her toddler son. She was wearing blue jeans and a collarless purple T-shirt with sunglasses placed on her head, announcing her envious status of being settled in America, the deemed land of paradise. They had flown from Mumbai where Shruthi had stayed with her in-laws for a couple of days. Welcoming hoots, surprised exclamations, and hearty clapping assailed her from all sides as the family moved to receive the sister of the bridegroom whose presence would raise the wedding gaiety by a notch. It was the sister who would be bringing the bridegroom to the wedding canopy with his hand on her shoulders and the traditional silver plate with clothes and coins in her hands. Rekha always held a grouse against her cousin Shruthi for her nonchalant superior air and for gifting her old clothes every year. A couple of years back she had thrown such a tantrum that her mother had finally agreed not to make her wear them. But now in front of all these people, she wanted to rush and hug Shruthi, to be a part of the cynosure and welcome her cousin. Her shyness made her stay put. Sumathi aunty part rescued and part showed off her daughter and her young family while steering them to the spacious bedroom (Shruthi's) where they were to rest before joining the wedding revelry.
