The Mad House Series VI


Dear Diary,

Now that my wedding is two days old I still cant believe it has happened. Or these mad house people made it happen from the scratch from finding me a perfect  partner to being the perfet wedding crashers.

Just 15 days ago I informed all about my wedding an in such a short notice they were perfect guests. I am astonished at the level of  participation of the people of MAD House. Like the tradition I forwarded a mail to the common mailing list and as a formality gave them one card which is still hung on the notice board of the boss and the date of my wedding encircled like any of his other meetings. The card given in formality saw 90% presentation at the wedding as if there were orders passed by the boss for a full attendance of the staff for one of his meetings.

My family in consultations with all the planets decided a date of the wedding  and fortunately it was a weekend.  Least did I knew that this meant that they can finish all their work enjoy the wedding and then get back to work. I had perfectly planned to take a weeks break which is unusal at Mad House. As I remember one of my colleague who went for his wedding was asked by the Boss " How many marriages will you do in a month." On the other hand even  the judge in  didn’t wanted me to enjoy my own wedding and for that one order he had to pass he took almost a month. Two days before the judge tells me he has a wedding gift for me which he will give me after the wedding. And thank God he passed a remarkable judgment and if it was just one day before even Jacob would have attended the wedding.


But one thing I shall tell you that I am completely astonished with the dedication and since efforts of the MAD House, I think they have learned all this from the crazy meetings they keep organizing through out the year. And no matter how late  they reach for these meetings , they reached on time for my wedding. 

My family tells me that when the cars reached the teams were instantly divided. Few were assigned for food, others for bride and the rest for arranging booze which I had kept out of the wedding. But how could I forget that when meetings don’t go without booze how could a marriage would have taken place.

The moment I stepped out of my car all I could hear was the voices of MAD House people for a second thought maybe my driver has reached the wrong venue. If I knew these people were so hardworking I would have arranged my wedding in the basement.

It seemed to me these people were more prepared for my wedding than I myself was. Everyone had taken up a task and some were doing multi tasking. All of them danced in joy when I was entering the venue. The roles had completely reversed though I hired a professional photographer the BOSS captured the entire wedding on his latest gizmo. The tea guy read out the mantras, there were two DJ’s and all of them  were perfect dancers .

If I knew these people were coming I would have arranged packed dinner boxes for them. But all of them thoroughly enjoyed f the food and tried each and every item I had selected. Knowing about the capacity of these people, deep below my breadth I was praying that we don’t run short of food.

Just as I entered the venue all of them surrounded me taking full responsibility as if a fresh case has been filed. Nervous me had some relief when I heard their silly jokes around me. Not even far could I hear any of my relative. Before my family or the pandit asked to get the bride all of them in a hurry  got the bride. Well then I knew the reason behind this was that impatient BOSS who thought that the programme was running behind schedule.

The brides family though tried hard to be around her but these MAD House people had changed sides, from being invited from my side they joined the opposite team . I tell you these lawyers can never be trusted you never know which side they can represent.

Anyway within seconds I was married according to the Hindu Law as garlands were exchanged. They all shouted as if they had won a case or maybe got new funding.
Even before my parents and her parents could come to stage and congratulate . my entire family with their jaws opened saw a big gang on the stage posing for picture. 10-20-30 all of them on stage perfectly around the bride and groom for a perfect MAD House picture. For once the camera man even warned us that it was difficult to fit them all in one frame but some how he managed or he had a competition from the latest gizmo of the BOSS.

Within minutes they did what they were perfect at quickly thronged the dinner table and ate with a caution from the boss to carry the rest in their hands. Hence in another half an hour all of them left. But honestly they rocked my wedding.
