Chapter 1

"You are getting married", Mannu Bhaiya said to me when I reached his home.
WHAT? You must be joking. My uncle is marrying next week, not me. You are just confused.

I know but you are also getting married, Mannu bhaiya simply replied.
You must be kidding Mannu Bhaiya. My uncle is getting married, not me. Do you understand now? 
Yaa Shekhar, I know and I'm also not kidding. Its true.
I was very tired so was my friend Sridhar. We had traveled from Chennai (them Madras) no-stop by train upto Ranchi and from Ranchi to Daltonganj by bus. But such a shocking news from Mannu Bhaiya put me on toe. I had no strength to continue conversation so I changed the topic I asked for a cup of tea or if possible two.
Over tea we discussed the probability of going with my parents wish and denying them completely.
