Doctor's marriage!!
Recently been to Mathura to attend a friend's marriage. That was over all a good trip. One thing that stands out is that during the course of the trip I used almost all modes of transportation on land and air. The trip started from Hyderabd on 9th march and culminated back to Hyderabad on 12th march.Hyderbad - (by flight) -> Delhi - (by car) -> Mathura - (by bus) -> Agra - (used cycle riksha when in the town, by train) -> Hyderbad (by auto back to residence)!! It was nice attending doc's marriage at Mathura on 10th night. Here is wishing all the best and a very happy married life to you Doc and Kopal!!

Parenting is a full time job and the role of mother, between two of the parents, is more important because of obvious reasons.
