Well, I consider myself to be a social person. That's why it's very easy for me to strike up conversations with others. But today, I'd like to talk about a specific person I met at a party. We had a great conversation, and the experience was really good. Not only because we shared a great conversation, but because through it, I gained insight into a special ritual. Last year, I went to my cousin's wedding in Rajasthan. There, I had the chance to meet her best friend, Shizuka. As we passed by, we became really good friends. On the day of the wedding, when my cousin, the bride, was taking a long time to get ready, I was impatient and complaining to my friend. At that time, Shizuka told me that it was actually a ritual for the bride not to complete her attire until the groom arrives and offers it to her as a gift. Through this conversation, I not only gained useful knowledge, but I also learned a lot about patience and respecting such rituals. It was a truly happy conversation with her. And through it, I learned about a beautiful pre-wedding ritual. Overall, the conversation was really good. Throughout the wedding, my friend explained the reasons behind the rituals and everything. Before that, I had never attended a Rajasthani wedding.
