The most challenging day of my life was the day our company covered the wedding of Chetan & Pooja. This was during college graduations, and most of our team were out of town for this day. And acknowledging the fact that I would be alone for this event....I made it a challenge for myself. Our trucks were loaded up from previous events so I did not have to load. The day started for me at around 8 AM 6 hours after I had gotten home from their Mehendi the night before. Upon arrival at the venue, I setup my laptop and made sure the sound systems were good to go for the ceremony taking place outdoors. This was during a cold front in Phoenix, and the temperature was around 52 degrees. I was wearing a very thin outfit that I usually wear when I play the dhol, which was a horrible thing. After the music was good to go at the ceremony, ran over to where the Baraat was taking place. Played the dhol in the freezing cold for about 30 minutes. Most baraats take about 10-15 minutes, but the way for the baraat was super long, but the worst factor was the weather. My body was freezing up and my fingers were numbing up. So got to the ceremony site, upon completion of the ceremony I ran to the reception hall, where I had already loaded up everything, setup everything I could, then ran back to the ceremony hall where they were doing the Vidai (goodbye) ceremony. Then ran back to the reception hall and finished setting up everything. Was surprised to how quickly I had gotten everything done. Had a few hours to kill before I needed to be there for the reception, so I went home and relaxed for a bit before the reception that lasted until about 1:30 AM. The ceremony, was beautiful, the horse was beautiful, every aspect of the reception was just absolutely beautiful, and Mr. Sameer Soorma captured each aspect even more beautifully.
