News of the day

1) Tailor returned the sarees!
2) 'Devara sammArAdhane' done today.

1) Tailor was found through major contacts and he returned the sarees. It is said that he was out of town!
2) 'Devara sammArAdhane' was elaborate today. We started at 8am and completed the proceedings by 3pm. With full of 'hOma' and procedures, it was a tiring day. 'navagraha hOma' was done in detailed fashion. With temperature reaching 120 F in the vicinity of the fire, it was a herculean task to avoid smoke from the burning eyes.

Amma was involved in a major first aid when one of the invitees fainted due to low blood pressure. This occurred just after lunch and Amma first ran to the patient and gave mouth-to-mouth respiration. He recovered within a minute and sat up. Few seconds later, the patient fainted again and lost his pulse, and started sweating. One more round of m-to-m along with immediate call for an ambulance was done. He was shifted to a local hospital. The doctors there said that he had a heart attack and is under close monitoring now.

Wedding Dress Missing

With two days to go for the wedding, wedding dress of the bride and her Sister-in-law are missing. 'n' sarees (exact number not disclosed due to security reasons) were given to the local tailor to stitch the border(falls) and the tailor is absconding since last Friday. Contacting him on his cell phone has gone in vain. Nobody in the neighboring shops knows his home address or telephone number.

Hope is that he turns up today (Wednesday) OR, atleast by Thursday. If he doesn't, alternate arrangements have to be made. What a drama with suspense?

Final touches

Final touches in progress for the wedding.
