Update on vat 69

So during my India visit, there was an invitation for a marriage. Me not having participated in a marriage for long long time, in India, that is, was eager to go in and check out the state of the affairs. I had heard several stories over the years about how the arrangements and cuisine have changed. Also kids had never seen a marriage before, so I decided to take Krishi with me. On the way we stopped at a local bar. While checking out the menu, I looked at several scotch options and noticed vat69 mentioned in there, and that too at a relatively low cost. So the old world charm is back on the shelves.

The marriage turned out to be ok.. There was obviously plenty of food. I sampled everything. My most favorite was hyderbadi daal. Rest all food was bland and quite possibly not so fresh. The next day I was wriggling with cramps all day. Krishi sat all the way in the front and enjoyed the rasams. They were done in a very mechanical fashion one after the other as to get them over with. There was some jubilation during warmala with usual lifting of bride and groom, otherwise it was a small & quiet gathering.
