pardes

 she banged her both hands on the dholak with excited energy and rani s dholak started officially for the function, her lovely melidious  voice filled the whole  area full of women , it was a massive open yard  that  comfortably accommodated entire village , all the chairs were arranged  in the back  outlining the  gathering  , the rooms were emptied, qamar was  snooping around with his group of boys  trying to have fun , bamboo cots and bamboo handmade stools were arranged towards the womens section , all the aged and elderly  occupied them , all the teenage girls and other younger women settled down around the dholaki beat to enjoy the show , it was the first opening scene  of the dholak beat kept  fifteen days ahead of the  wedding  it was a tradion  followed for genrations

Folk gidda  also started from this  dholak opening beat, older women folk  started the dancing  ,  then gidda started  and one by one younger girls joined the elderly  women  on invites , dragging laughing teasing  others to join in speaking singing  tumbling over each other falling  over each other  enigmatically brightening the wedding house , girls are birds , chirpy and sweet adding so much  meaningfulness to life itself , girls are birds  who decorate homes and surroundings  before flying away, bari barsi begins with the first dholak beat   double meaning funny  songs are sung and every profession  is presented in a twisted distortion of memes
