Aunt Gouri, Aandiyathu home and London
The main 2 reasons
why we left to India early were;
- Aunt Gouri’s marriage
- Housewarming of our new home
These 2 things
happened in just 1 week.
Aunt Gouri’s
marriage was FUNtastic! This means fun and fantastic.
Me, Dad and Gopichan
were standing down at the front of the hall, receiving guests. Mom was with
Geethama, helping aunt Gouri to put on her makeup.
The sadya was
great and all our relatives were there. My cousins Kunjunni, Kunjichechi,
Savithri, Shanku, Madhavan and Keshavan were also there. My cousins and I went
up to a balcony which was in the hall itself and we sat there comfortably and watched
everything.
Though I was kind
of disappointed that since I was sitting at the balcony I would not be able to
throw flower petals………… But in any case,
the marriage was a blast!!!!!!!!!!!
We did our flat’s
housewarming that following week and then after some weeks our house was fully
furnished and looking cute and cozy. And
by the way, house- warming does not mean to warm up the house! It means to do
pujas and pray that we will all be safe and happy in our new home.
We named our
house “Aandiyathu” after our ancestral home in Thodupuzha.
After marriage
Aunt Gouri went to London with Uncle Ashwin because that is where Uncle works.
We also went to
London and stayed there for almost a month when I was younger. Uncle Sujesh
(Kochakka) was working there so we stayed with him. I even celebrated my 6th birthday
there.
We saw Buckingham
Palace, Windsor Castle, Big Ben, Tower Bridge and lots more. We spent 3 days on
an island called Isle of Wight. It was
awesome.
We went to Windsor Studios where you can
dress as a princess and have your photo taken.
Since it has been
some years since we went to London, I do not remember everything clearly. So
one day I asked Dad whether he could take me to London again. He replied “When
you are older and have a job, you can take me there instead!” So that means he can wait for the next 15
years till I get a job.
