The pulse of freedom

There is a sight I hold dear. A misty morning, a grey veil, green hills in the background, lush and abundant. On the fore, at about 100 feet...

Doing the dishes!


Yesterday’s gala at our house saw many crossed fingers. Trying to keep away rain. We had planned the celebration as a terrace party to gobble up that ever swelling milieu comfortably. But we expected  some 125 guests. At any other time, we could have managed with plates and spoon from our cupboard but not this time. 125 sets! Wow! The tent house services J my idea. Bad idea! The plates did look clean on the outside. But to be doubly sure, we (me included) sat in the scorching sun, doing the dishes before putting them to use. Hail the hygiene!

      Thank you Wisper. Everything went smooth and the function was a big success. We are all basking in the glory of a well deserved rest now. The other events for this wedding are arranged at a wedding palace so that takes away a lot of tension. Not all of it but some of it definitely.

    ahhh - happy the bride the sun shines on, as they say. Not sure I would have happily washed all those dishes pre-party. But, kudos to you for doing so. :)

    That does sound like a lot of work, but it also sounds like a splendid gathering!

      My family worked together as a team and I am proud of this. This is some nth time we have been hosting big parties. The stress is there but it is also fun.
