As planned, Amit, Jagdeesh and I made arrangements for our stay, Jagdeesh has his sedan, I was relieved, but I decided to pay the fuel and other expenses of the sedan. Jagdeesh and Amit were at the front seat, Jagdeesh was steering the sedan, and meanwhile I was slouching at the rear seat of the car. Jagdeesh was an expert in driving the car; he had an excellent grip over the speed and steadiness of the vehicle, which saved majority of our travelling time. Our sedan moved through valleys, forests, great tunnels and bridges over deep gorge and mighty rivers, it was a five hours journey, we halted at a petrol pump for filling the fuel and maintenance.

I paid off the expenses, however, Amit also contributed in it, so the expenses were equally shared by Amit and me. We had some refreshments, and then we began our journey, however, there was traffic ahead, we heard from people at other vehicles nearby, that due to severe rainfall, the boulders had covered the highway, and the emergency response team were sliding those heavy boulders aside. I was shrouded with boredom due to slow moving traffic; Amit said that, he knew the shortcuts of this place, he was an expert in geography of this region and then he directed to go through a bypass road, and it will get connected to the other end of the highway.

Jagdeesh drove the car through the bypass road, and then we caught the other end of the highway escaping the traffic and the accident site. At last we reached the village; I thanked Amit and Jagdeesh for saving my time travelling as we managed to get half an hour, prior to completion of five hours. The mansion was huge, fenced with boundary walls and a large metal gate at the front which was already opened for us, the mansion had gable roof, and large windows, the last time I visited the house was about ten years ago. We were given a warm welcome by my uncle, aunt, Vineed and other family members, who were more than happy to see us.

The next few days were spent in preparing for the grand occasion, and all of us contributed whole heartedly towards the cause. The wedding celebrations were grand, and there were almost more than hundred people in attendance at wedding, we enjoyed a lot dancing, and gobbling down scrumptious dishes, Vineed and his newly wedded wife, Shyama were happy on this occasion, and they were entering a new phase of life. After sending off the newly wedded couple for their honeymoon to Maldives on the very next day, uncle and aunt went to visit Shyama's house a custom. Meanwhile there were other family members at house; we had a jolly time with them.
