One of the flashback I had, was when few years back, a much younger version of ourselves were sitting in the living room here, in Paris.

We suddenly started a debate, imagining where everyone would see each other in 10 years. We all had the same vision, of a mature Rahul being cozy alone in his bubble. Sunny being a joyful guy, putting loud punjabi songs while driving. You saw me traveling around, being in a relationship with a gora (nvm). And you, settled down, a young lady happily married.

Mehndi ceremony • Documenting

Indian weddings are such a journey. Long days of preparation, generally a week of ceremonies and events, plenty of colorful suits and dishes, and much more. 

On her journey to her marriage, one of the first ceremony for the bride is the mehndi rassam / henna ceremony.

As following the traditions, according to what our parents, grand-parents and ancestors used to do back in the motherland, we continue, here, the rassam. Being auspicious, just as a way to wish her prosperity and luck for her new life.

Its sort of funny, as usual, how time flies.

During the laavan at the gurdwara, just remembering our conversations about it. How it would be, when it would happen, what is written in our kismat. Felt like it was 3 years back, but just realising that flashback I had, of us in the metro, carefree and wondering about life, was 10 years old.

And here you are now, in that red lehnga, mehndi in your hands, starting a new life.

And it finally happened.

That day, we hear about, while growing up, as a young girl. When we will, someday, settle down and get married. Be a part of another family and start our own.

The day, we think about, as becoming a lady. Having a partner we share our life with, joys and sorrows, moments. After being postponed for a year, that wedding under lockdown.
