April 30, 2008, dawned with a burst of vibrancy and excitement, as my younger sister’s wedding unfolded in Pune. The day was a kaleidoscope of colours, a symphony of joy, and a whirlwind of meticulous preparations. As the eldest sibling, the mantle of responsibility fell upon me, a role I embraced with a mixture of pride and trepidation. My task was nothing short of ensuring that every detail — no matter how minute — was perfectly executed, contributing to the seamless flow of one of our family’s most cherished events.
