The other side of carbon..

D-inner pangs..

The other day, I was having dinner with a friend when a huge family descended on us for a birthday celebration. Well, at a nearby table that is. A 20 ft table with families arranged along the length. Individual families merged with the others, the table too long to interact fully with each other, hierarchies of men-women and children maintained, with the individual identity and confidence best expressed in a large group. But they were all loud and seemed to be having fun.

Quite the microcosm of our large Indian families.

I guess I am dreading the social imbroglio my sister's marriage day will turn into.. More with her consent.
