VIDYA'S MARRIAGE

Wonderful in one word.
Sarma tatagaru at his vintage best and ammamma at her silent best.
SBD the silent bee but forced to eat in the first or second batch. In this connection some people were even given prizes for dragging her (literally) for lunch. Krups and Poonam made a lightning visit. Of course, Poonam announced her presence empahtically by directing things on stage. Sasi and Madhu were there, were not there and were there. Wonder why Sasi is showing this prowess of disapperaing and reappering during marriages!!
Me and Gouri, more spectators than helpers due to limitations, tho I did have an occasion to show off my Linguistic Abilities and Gouri entertained Kavali guests and led them to breakfast.
What to say about SRN and SKD? Harassed? Tired? Happy? Relieved? all of them. A good job well done!
Kanth and friends-good work.
Sarada and bavagaru registerd their presence--Sarada by a tiff with SRN and then settling down nicely and helpfully ( as is usual). bava garu being in charge of the KEYS of the strong box (Once a bank manager, always a bank manager)
Gopal--silent and observant (see his wodehousean masterpiece about JADA-GADA)
Vijaya liaising efficiently with caterers, manager and the music party.
SVN and his "cheviti machine" have already starred in these columns. Then he did a wonderful job of looking after the breakfast business. Only thing was that one had to be on constant guard (unsuccessfully) to keep him away from----what else---sweets.
Padma in charge of the arrangements, sardatam and THE BOX. Solid worker and no pun intended.
Summi gadu, the lone warrior, was worked off her feet. Kudos for her tireless work and ever- present smile.
Swathi was not her usual self-quiet and was busy with the cell phone on day one and looking lost on the other days.( charger was broken and so no cell phone)
Ramesh, Durga, Subrahmanyam, Ramadevi, Sravan, Venu, Subbalakshmi, Suhrud and Manyu were present and participated well.
Mr.Ramesh was great and without him it would have been very very difficult.
Varamma, Pullaiah, Bujjamma etc. were of great help.
The Pydighantams were present in force and were appreciative.
The bridegroom's party were really great. They were so cooperative, it went off so smoothly that it really was unbelievable. Madhavan, Kamala and Raghavendrarao garu and the rest were nice and if all the future grooms' parties are like that, we will be very very blessed and happy.
Vidya, the star, was tired by the end of it all but I believe she is happy and so are we.
