This is the picture of the car that Mamu rented for 8 days to take us around Bihar. The other picture is of our driver. Very nice man, his name was Anu, but I called him Driver-Sahb. He would literally stop at every cold water place to get Mom and me packaged cold water. Took us to the "touring" spots in Bihar, and played good Bollywood songs for our long journeys!
Anyway, back to the point of this story. The wedding house was about 2.5 hours away from Mamu's house in Patna. The people that obviously were going were: Drive-Sahb, Mamu, Mamiji, Anjali, Aarti, Abhishek, Chottu, Mom and Me. Lets count: That's 9 people. Look at the picture of the car again.
10 minutes before we are all set to leave, Mom's BFF comes strolling in with her youngest daughter. She wanted to go to the wedding too. Normally we'd use the slogan, "the more, the merrier". Not this time. We squeezed, we tried, we pinched, we pried. We just couldn't do it. Mamu, being the nicest man he is, even tried hiring another car. Needless to say in the end, Mom's BFF and her daughter got left behind. And because of that, they didn't come say bye to us when we left either. Sad!
