I have always believed that bengali brides look their best on the day after their wedding. The day they leave their their houses forever, the day of unnecessary drama and overacting in certain cases...
With the gaudy and immensely uncomfortable makeup partly erased by the tears and partly half done after the hush hush of the D day the day before... hair loosely tied, chandan done by amateur hands, the slightly tilted mukut, the wrinkled new saari, the eyes with sorrow and happiness merged into one and the all new sindoor's bright crimson effect... somehow these things together makes her divine, makes a bride look her best...
bow down to thee
