Hangover of an events manager from SIMC

Finally Rejil is about to get married to the girl his mom liked :P . Even without any proposals from the great RK, the girl agrees.

How and Why!!!

Ahem! I knew that you will have this lingering doubt.

The answer remains as simple because her parents threatened her with dire consequences, if she didn’t agree to tie the ultimate knot with Mr. Rejil.

That’s just a summary ;)

Even after SIMC, the ex-president’s thought process always went as if everything is a major event.

So when the proposal came and the date was fixed, the first thing Rejil thought was about an e-brochure.

Rejil: Dad, E brochure?

Dad realized the problem and said, “Beta, We need an invitation card, not an e-brochure.”

Rejil: Ohhhh, Ok, Ok

Hangover two.

Rejil: Dad, but who will sponsor our events?

Dad: Ohh, you Lallu ( Pet name )! This event is entirely sponsored by the families of the Bride and the Groom.

Rejil: So, where all will we position the flex for maximum visibility?

Dad keeps his hand over his head and tells mom to handle lallu

Rejil (continues full flow): Btw mom, which all media’s are we covering? Only newspapers or some local TV channels too?

Mom takes over and explains that two newspapers will have the couple's picture the day before.

Ohh ! Pre-event press release ok ! , but do ensure maximum post event coverage too. If you got any problems with the coverage, I will inform the SIMC director to give an assignment to the students. All the first 4 pages of Google search will be thus ensured. Else contact the median head, an intelligent Deep rooted festival of Dilli lights !

Mom stands quizzed at the bizarre turn of events. Somehow the wedding day comes.

Guests start trickling in.

The ex-president rushes in from nowhere and poses a question, “where is your ticket?”

The guest stands flabbergasted and gives the wedding invitation in answer.

Rejil: Hmmm… where is the perforation for the counterfoil?

The guest makes the same face that an SIMCian makes after biting the Brinjal from some innovative baaji from Rahul’s mess at Symbiosis, Lavale.

As the next guest comes, Rejil arranges a pen, notepad and jots the event details on it and gives it.

Rejil: Sir, please come in. Be seated on the left, front row and ensure that we get maximum coverage.

Guest: You mean blessings?

Rejil: No sir, just some post event stories about me and her, the latest couple in town.

The second guest escapes.

And then Rejil shouts after a while – “Free food, free food, all are invited. Food sponsored by Groom’s family. And NO alcohol since it is not approved by SIU" ..err.. SIU means Shaadi’s International Union...

Aakriti speakers and Akashi mikes helped save a lot on mikes and projec… err.. no, no.. not projectors or projections for sure !!! Prakash equals lights is the special invite acting as the cameraman. Also Videography is sponsored by Poonam fashions and Co.
All councilaaaya Namaha...

The only missing was the vote of thanks, supposedly an essay virtually made a novel by the great event conductor in Uno journo kr.

And Lo! The Ex-president realized that the event is ghareloo.

By the time, the bride and her fly had flown away.

Still single, the Ex-president waits for the girl he loves so much, hoping against hope for her to realize that the beach in the sand is finite compared to the love he treasures for her.

Post event scoops?! Ice cream available in scoops... Have it instead…

Try lemon and salt, for hangover.
You have two years, we have 3.
God Bless SIMC!
And, the ex-President of course.
