Then came 5th may the day we were supposed to leave our family excluding our dad left for the airport. When we reached the airport we were roaming around waiting for our flight. Afterwards we boarded our flight and it was a one hour journey. After 1 hour the flight landed in Chennai and we collected our baggages and left. Our dad was supposed to pick us up and as we met our dad we all left for the guest house as my dad stays there due to his office project.As we reached there we freshened up and left for lunch. We went to this place called spiceklub which was my dad's colleagues restaurant and it was really good. It was wonderful dining there after lunch we went back to the room and rested and in the evening we went to the temple and had dinner and called it a night.
The next day was mostly in the room till afternoon where we had to leave for Kumbakonam where the function was set to take place.We went by train and by 10 we reached there and we took an auto to our grandparents house as we reached there a bunch of relatives were already there as they gave us a warm welcome which was overwhelming.We talked for sometimes and then as we went to bed our cousin's asked us to join them for sleep for which me and my sister agreed. It was actually fun sleeping with them because mostly I have slept with my mom.We talked like crazy and then we slept. The function started the next day and would go on for two days and also to my surprise it was nothing like a birthday party as it had poojas and our grandparents had to marry. All I did was watch the pooja sleep repeat but I did spend time with my relatives. It concluded after lunch. After lunch we were mostly with our cousin's and we even watched a movie together and it was indeed fun being with them.
The next day was better as I understood what was going on and spent more time with others and then came the main part where our grandparents got married and me and my sister had to do aarthi for them as it was a ritual with that the function was over.It was our moms birthday that day so she decided to take us all out for dinner.We got ready and we all met at a common place and left in separate cars before which I had a best sneakout which my mom's cousin and her son we were actually at their house before our mom came.We all left for dinner and we bonded really well my cousin's even bought a cake for my mom.This was the last day as the next day we had to go back to Hyderabad.After dinner we slept. The next day we said our goodbyes and embarked on a long journey back to Hyderabad
It was indeed a great trip and I also learned a lot of things about our culture in this journey and it also had a lot of memories to cherish forever.
