Trip to Pune - 2 - Engagement saga

Of the 3 weeks stay I had planned I intended working for 2 weeks and taking a week off in between....
So Tuesday I met Manu (with whom I got engaged on 23rd May) When I had met her first I did not had imagined that I would be getting all the support from my parents and brother along with her parents... with everyone blessings we would be getting engaged....

19th May my parents and I visited Manu's place and immediately her parent visited our place next day... On that day it was announced that we are getting engaged on Sunday 23.


And in next 2 days our friendship will have a name as well....

Therefore, Friday 21 we both went shopping for ourselves, first the engagement rings, and trust me Pune had the most horrible collection of engagement rings for guys....

Most of the engagement ring we saw looked like they had built-in tracking and global positioning system implant like ones from Bond movies....

Forth store we got a band style engagement ring for me that we were looking for and she got a cute looking ring for her....

Next stop was engagement dress for the day...
I decided I would be going more traditional and bought a Shervani, and for Manu we got a nice pretty looking Sari... and we were looking super kwel

Saturday day before engagement (only day when we were not meet) It had its own twist, I was grounded as something fancy that I eat along with roaming whole day in 41 degree Celsius Sun, that all was required to get my system to a halt. I visited doctor three times and was having liquid diet and medicines till noon Sunday.

Sunday the day I + Her = We
We for engaged in a small family function at her place with 40 odd family, relative and friends from both side showered us with blessing for a happy living.
