Managing Shadi
May 26th, 2008Managing a Shadi especially in interior is hell lot of tough job. I experienced this in April 2008. Though I was given very few responsibilities but my father and groom himself took LOT OF RESPONSIBILITIES. One thing which irritated me the most was Absence of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). There is no SOP for managing the shadi, every one does it as per his/her wish though many things are common but again if we had SOP we might not have worried a lot and could have focused on some other things.
In interior, you are the whole sole responsible for managing the shadi. You yourself have to arrange the place for treat, tent, food stuff, return of stuff, transport for guests, decoration stuff and transport of food to your relatives in near by cities. Your have to fulfill the requirements by Pandit, ensure the availability of stuff at right time, follow the traditions, follow the religion for sure.
On the other part, it was wonderful to enjoy the brother’s marriage. Funny chit chat with the family on arrangements, pin pointing cousins to wash the plates, dancing with and without music, getting comments on dressing, taking snaps on funny moments, demand of 5000/= for entry into home for bride & groom. One astonishing moment was when my two brothers picked me up with their single hand, Amazing na
I worked straight for 72 hours by sleeping only 6 hours in between and I am sure my father and groom slept less than me. Thanks to my friends especially Rakesh, Vishal & Jairam who showed up on Shadi day and helped me in arranging the Ring Ceremony of my Sister planned on the same day.
“No matter whatever you do, people are going to find some shortcomings in the marriage arrangements and pin point this after the marriage” told by one of my relative and I had a very clear answer on that “We are trying our best but even that doesn’t satisfy them, Who cares”.
We recently got this blessing of having a marriage lawn but unfortunately that was booked on that day. After this experience, I am planning to open two more marriage lawns in Ghotki to serve the people and earn the money If I faced any issue in getting Australian visa for my Masters
. Any one who is interested in investing, I have lot of options like these ![]()
