Hi Vats makkale,
Its again was a meeting chance for the vats makkal to meet at Masthan’s (L Sheik Masthan Sha ) at Trichy.
Here is the update who all missed it, it was on saturday night, I, psycho , philip and his wife (ida) went boarded the train(Rameshwaram Exp) to the Trichy (which reaches trichy at untime , around 2 :10 am in the morning. Any we had informed masthan, about our comming and he had made some arrangement for accomodation near the bus stand.
So as soon as we got in the train, the last bay(72 – 64 ) was.. empty.. none of them were occupied, see that, i told psycho “Machi..inghe ye unkundulam da..” because our bay where we had our confirmed tickets were fully crowded. Yes, the problem was the confusion that prevailed among all about the newly inserted birth (Side Middle Birth – SMB), and this was the reason for which the last bay was not occupied by none , because for each bay.. there should be only 8 persons (not considering the SMB) instead people all settled counting 9 persons per birth. Once things..were settled.. we had..some memories of train journey’s when used to travel.. during our return and onward journey’s during our college winter and summer vacation’s and also some update to Ida about our vats makkal’s masthi..etc..etc.. and then we had nice dinner ,which ida & philip had prepared for us from their house.., Thanks to Ida & philip for the Tasty dinner.
As usual namba psycho ku oru kutti ponnu friend aayidichu..! Apparam ..enna namba pyscho uncle ore masthi dhan..! majic show. , and confusism..dhan..( trying to confuse the kid by interrupting her conversion in his own style.. )
Before sleeping., i had psycho had recalled the “Setting up alam clock event” while we went to arivu’s marriage, because the train which we boarded to arivu’s marraige also reached around 2 am
On reaching the TP Jucntion, Ida’s relative had come there and they left with them hiring an auto, meanwhile i and psycho enquired for auto how much he would charge to take us to the neay by bus stand., (we knew that bus stand is not even half a km) he said..50 rs.. ) ,that was too much and ..so we decided to go by walk..(thinking. that.. naanga..ellam..ethana.. treking..poi vandhu irrukhum…..! idhu ellam enna .Ju Ju bi…) then auto driver came behind us..reducing his charge… sir.. 40 rs.. then.. 30 rs.. .Chance eh.. illay..poya.. sollittom..!
So morning we had take a bus from trichy bus stand to BHEL training center, that was the venue for sheik’s marraige. As we went to the bus stand and enquired for the buses.. we came to know that. all the buses enroute to Thanjavur would pass through this stop. But the conductor did not allow us to get into the bus, instead what he said was.. “Bus Kelambam podhu yerikhonga..” so nanga..nica.. got into the next bus which was standing behing and sat at the Last (one single long back seat..) , as the toad was not proper condition.. we enjoyed the first speed breaker, which threw us to hit the top of the bus..in the sitting posistion itself “eppa thapichoom…” then from there..onwards.. when ever we saw the next speed breaker.. “Machi ..u…ss..saaar..ra.. ezhundhu irchi ninnu koda..”
Finally we reached the Venue at 10:30 , Philp and Ida also reached in the next five mins. Then came Maapla (Masthan) alone , he was fully covered with pardha..he himself was not able to see , 3-4 people were holding him.. and bring down the steps .. (For a oorvalam) The oorvalam was led with Grand Musical Party.
After the oorvalam was over , masthan was alone brought to the stage, then read out some verses.. .. and all other things we done.. with maapale alone on the stage,

Only masthan on stage
these things took around 20-30 mins.. then after that.. all stood up and received the sweet bunch..
Enna -nu ketta…
Kalyanam mudinju poochu..-nu sonnanghe.. ! enna da.. idhu.. ponnu… stage ke ..varle.. kalayanam overa..?
This was the first muslim marraige i am attending…, and so it is done this way.. ,when maapale.. is brought to stage and performs his rights and rituals , parallely.. it is done with.. the bride.
