Tonight we finally meet our groom, Kaushik, who arrives with his family from Kolkata for an opening cocktail party held at Lutyens’ Resort on MG Road.  The two families mingle, dance, and laugh over an incredible meal.  For me, the highlight of the night comes when, Namrata’s sister, Vatsala, gives a darling toast about all the trouble the two sisters got into as little girls, using uncontrollable laughter as their weapon of choice.  When they had a particularly unpleasant dance teacher as a child, the girls managed to giggle non stop until she flat out refused to teach them anymore.  A genius strategy, really, and you can still see that twinkle of mischief at work when the two sisters are in the same room.
