Celebrating a wedding at Bangalore
———————————————-
The wedding of my nephew (Elder sisters son) was solemnised at Bangalore in the last week of December. The groom is born in Mumbai, but has grown up studied and now working also in Bangalore, so he is a Bangaloria, through and through. I used to call him Bangaloria when he was a kid, for the way he would speak the local dialect. The engagement had taken place at Belgaum in August. The bride’s family are very traditional and conservative. They wanted the wedding to take place within 2-3 months. November was the month, they wanted to plan. Since we had our Turkey visit already planned for November end, and my brother had only few days leave in December, somehow, a date suiting all made final.
By the grace of Almighty Allah, all went well with the wedding and all functions. All the guest from different places and overseas, reached on time. The weddings in Bangalore are more disciplined, and set time is adhered to unlike what happens in Mumbai. I applaud the people of Bangalore city, for ‘jhelofying’ the traffic conditions and keeping to the times. The 4 days I spent there; it was like half the life is spend in travel from place to place. Regulars of the blog, from Bangalore can testify, that if 5 km distance travel is involved, ½ an hour travel time is a given. The groom’s house and the bride’s houses are in the areas on opposite side of an arterial road, not very far from the location where the flyover for the airport starts. What all was looking good and convenient and accessible on paper, was not the same on ground. But eventually everyone reached their destinations safely and no one missed anything. Everyone blessed the couple, enjoyed the hearty feasts, and all went home to their own cities and houses and jobs, having made some new memories of the event.
The nikaah was in the morning so that same evening was free for those who wanted to roam around. So, we also did, roam around the city in the car amid heavy traffic on Christmas eve with my sister, cousins, children etc. We were on MG road for a good dining place. I remembered a scene in Aamir Khan’s “Raakh”, which was set in some year 2030 MG road in an Indian metro city. The movie released in 1989 but the story dated some 50 years after. This is what I recall, but not sure. Eventually we left MG road and went to another area where restaurants were open till 2.00 am. Bangalore has changed in this regard in last 11-12 years.
Weddings are special, in the way they bring people together to catch up, relive the old times. Meeting and greeting the close and far off relations, plus old friends, with whom we have lost touch is also a bonus. My sisters two close friends live in Mumbai, but do not get to meet each other often. They came to Bangalore to attend the wedding and found a rare opportunity to spend time with each other. They were regular visitors in our house till my sister was alive, and they know most of the extended family also because of this.
Many people who knew my sisters since she shifted to Bangalore in 1994, her neighbours in the earlier house and her business associated, were among the guests at reception by grooms’ side, to bless the new couple. One of the associate/friends at the wedding was actor Feroz Khan’s and singer Kanchan’s cousin, who was used to share film industry’s’ inside news with my sister. My sister was a film buff, like I am a film song buff. She used to pore over filmy gossip magazines.
Let us go back to the wedding. The bride is a sweet girl, who has studied in Belgaum, Shimla, Jaipur, and Ajmer. Due to her father’s posting in Belgaum some years ago and for the last few years, they were staying in Belgaum, where the engagement in August took place. Her family hails from ‘Madanapalle’ in Andhra Pradesh. This place is also known and important for when Rabindra Nath Tagore visited the Besant Theosophical College there. It is known that Rabindra Nath Tagore composed the tune of ‘Jana gana mana’ while staying in Madanapalle. As soon as I got to know that the girl is from a place called “madanapalle”, I googled and got the above trivia.
So here to the addition of new member in the family and to the value addition to the nephew s life, where he is now responsible for another person’s wellbeing and happiness. In the small intimate ceremony of family members at home, right after the wedding, the bride and the groom were asked to sing songs and say a poem where they must take each other’s names. When I suggested this song “aaj se teri saari galiyan meri ho gayin” for the groom to sing for his bride, he did not agree, saying this is very unfair, everything belongs to her and I get nothing, only ‘galiyan’ & ‘gham’! 😊.
But it is only fair that you give her everything that she has left behind in her parent’s house, to come to your place, she brings her destiny with her, joins it with you and makes your house, a home. Alhamdullillah.
So the song I am presenting is the same one, from the film ‘Pad Man”(2017). This is the trivia about the film:
• The film was a “cinematic adaptation” of the life story of Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social entrepreneur from Coimbatore. Arunachalam is known for developing low-cost sanitary pads and for increasing awareness about menstrual hygiene practices. The Government of India awarded him the Padma Shri in 2016.
• The film’s concept credited to Twinkle Khanna. While she produced the film, her husband Akshay Kumar played the lead role in it. Twinkle Khanna had written a short story titled “The Sanitary Man of Sacred Land” in 2016 which, like the film, was based on the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham. The story was part of a collection of stories written by her titled “The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad”.
The lead actors in the film were Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor. The song is a written by Kausar Munir and composer is Amit Trivedi. Arjit Singh is the singer. Their tally in the blog so far is this:
| Amit Trivedi | 5 |
| Kausar Munir | 2 |
| Arijit Singh | 7 |
This is a celebratory song, with Akshay Kumar making all type of promises to Radhika Apte and in return only needing her to make ‘maalpue’ sometimes and ‘khul ke muskurana’ sometimes. Cute and generous to boot. ‘Bangaluria” bhanje, do take note.
For history of ‘maalpue’ in the blog, one may revisit this post.

Lyrics (as per audio)
Aaj se teri
saari galiyaan
meri ho gayin
aaj se meraa
ghar teraa ho gayaa
Aaj se teri
saari galiyaan
meri ho gayin
aaj se meraa
ghar teraa ho gayaa
aaj se meri
saari khushiyaan
teri ho gayin
aaj se teraa
gham meraa ho gayaa
ho tere kaandhe ka jo til hai
ho tere seene mein jo dil hai
ho teri Bijli ka jo bill hai
aaj se meraa ho gayaa
ho mere khwaabon ka ambar
ho meri khushiyon ka samandar
ho mere pin code ka number
aaj se teraa ho gayaa
tere maathe ae ae ae ae ae ae ae ae
tere maathhe ke kumkum ko
main tilak lagaa ke ghoomoongaa
teri baali ki chhum chhum ko
main dil se lagaa ke jhoomoongaa
meri chhotti se bhoolon ko tu
nadiya mein bahaa denaa
tere joode ke phoolon ko
main apni shirt mein pehnoongaa
bas mere liye tu maalpuye
kabhi kabhi bana denaa
aaj se meri saari ratiyaan
teri ho gayin
aaj se tera
din meraa ho gayaa
ho tere kaandhe ka jo til hai
ho tere seene mein jo dil hai
ho teri Bijli ka jo bill hai
aaj se meraa ho gayaa
ho mere khwaabon ka ambar
ho meri khushiyon ka samandar
ho mere pin code ka number
aaj se teraa ho gayaa
tu maange sardi mein Amiya
jo maange garmi mein moongphaliyaan
tu baarish mein agar keh de
ja mere liye tu dhoop khilaa
to main sooraj a a a a a
to main sooraj ko jhatak doonga
to main saawan ko gatak loongaa
to saare taaron sang chanda
main teri goad mein rakh doongaa
bas mere liye tu khil ke kabhi
muskuraa denaa
aaj se meri
saari sadiyaan
teri ho gayin
aaj se teraa
pal meraa ho gayaa
ho tere kaandhe ka jo til hai
ho tere seene mein jo dil hai
ho teri Bijli ka jo bill hai
aaj se meraa ho gayaa
ho mere khwaabon ka ambar
ho meri khushiyon ka samandar
ho mere pin code ka number
aaj se
teraa ho gayaa
Aaj se teri
saari galiyaan
meri ho gayin
aaj se meraa
ghar teraa ho gayaa
