Fellow MIT DUSP student and native Indian, Amruta, graciously invited me to attend her older brother’s engagement ceremony, in her hometown of Vadodara (aka Baroda), in Gujarat near Ahmedabad.

Holidays with my mom’s side of the family have changed a bit over the years. When I was a kid, I have vivid memories of wearing uncomfortable dresses, then changing into regular clothes after a few short minutes. The whole generation of cousins, ranging ten years, would run around the house and yard or eat up the appetizers in seconds, in comfortable in the companionship even though we only saw each other a few times a year.
