The atmosphere at our place, was, gravely serious.
Mom and dad had put up ads on matrimonial sites, for Diya!!!
Somebody had taken Rima's wedding more seriously, than, she did!!
Long sessions went on, with the family astrologer, both, over phone, and, at his chamber!! I simply laughed madly, to myself, and then, felt sheepish!!
I got to be "serious"!!!
I was usually smart.
The only problem was that, sometimes, I overdid it, and, ended up messy!!
I had grown up, watching dad, smoke, consciously away from the farthest reaches of mom!! As a kid, I had always thought, smoking was much of chivalry, and elegance!
And, I tried it out, at twelve!! Ended up with a bad cough, and decided, to drop plans, but, only for the week!!!
