Neeti was simply surprised that I finally liked someone. She almost fell on the ground hearing the news. I asked her to come over to my place ASAP. I insisted that we meet in the temple and advised her to wear anything ethnic. I reached the temple in a chudidar, which is not my real attire and just kept waited for her. She was so taken by the news and that she arrived in auto: not watsing time. She just couldnt wait to see the guy. She paid the auto and then was literally running towards me. I was waiting for her at the temple entrance. You?!! You like a guy? and you want me to see him? This would be the 8th wonder and im just wondering who that is.
The srinagar colony temple is quite huge. It has 4/5 temples of different Indian gods. That day the temple sported a deserted look, rather unusual on a saturday. Neeti just finished her engineering exams and was awaiting her i-20 and US visa. My school freind and best buddy.So she prayed, irritated and vexed the gods that she be granted visa. It took us almost an hour by the time we came sat out side the shiva temple. and then happily dug ourselves into the prasadam that was given and the laddoos that we bought at the counter.Making up for the breakfast that we skipped. Then she realised the purpose that we came. So she asked in a rather curious tone: where is your guy? Is he coming or do we wait?
We made a special delicacy today. you can have the prasadam said a rather strong voice. Neeti was rather happy to have more. The priest who was about 28 years inquired about my studies and the permissions to do my housie in Hyderabad.
Why is he bothered about your housie? Being a priest why and how is he flirting with you? she asked in a rather irritated tone. and then we settled down at one corner of the temple to dig into our breakfast again. He is a Cardiologist from AIIMS. Neeti was rather surprised to hear that a temple priest is a Cardiologist from a very reputed institute. I was pursuing UG at Christian Medical college Vellore and wanted to do my housie in Hyderabad. But there were some permissions to be taken and he was ready to help.
Why is he working as a priest if he is a doctor? Neeti said. Well, his uncle is the chief priest here and he helps him out when ever he in Hyderabad. What about his parents? she asked. and with every question; her curiosity , suspicion and voice ever increasing.
His dad is the famous Neurologist Narasimha deekshitulu and mom HoD Gynecology at Gandhi Medical college. Neeti gave a surprised look and said "parents, both doctors?". Even his sister is pursuing medicine in OMC.
Well if you remember his uncle performed my sisters marriage. Even before that when my parents were thinking about marriage he famously predicted when and to whom my sister would be married. A good astrologer.
REALLY?! Can he tell me about my US visa? when will I go? I said : I think so. She requested ian a very pleasing tone that we comeback and ask the guy about her visa/
And then Neeti asked again where is your guy?
I said you still dont get it ? do you?
Neeti gave a very awkward look which resembled anything that was a shock, happiness and disbelief .
So whats the catch? you are a doctor. everybody in their family is a doctor. whats the problem.
Even our horoscopes match!! I said a a mischievous tone.
So whats the catch? Subcaste! I declared.
In this age of internet and android who really cares for caste and religion. But how come subcaste is an issue. I said thats not a problem with you and the world but for it is.
Neeti told her parents and they plunged into Mission Marriage immediately. Neither my parents, nor the guys parents. not even the boy know about the entire thing.
Her parents also checked the boys and family background and everything seemed to be perfect. Then they referred the guys name to my parents and they seemed happy about the proposition. The guys side seemed excited too as prospective bride was also a doctor.
And alls well that ends well.
