December 28th
The long wedding rituals finally came to an end. I woke up quite relaxed and late this morning, I had no major plans until afternoon. I had a very traditional lunch made by my lovely grandma. I'm not a big fan of dhal and rice but, I solely relied on the dry and salt fish to complete the meal. It's one of my favorites sides. After the meal, I went to my newly married cousins house. We all cousins went together and bothered her for a bit. We were served Jalebis and yes, I end up eating a lot of them. I was sugar hyper after I got home. We also took a pit stop to meet my favorite little girl baby Nia. In the evening, I attended a traditional food festival it was alright it was nice to be there with friends but, it was to crowded as per my liking. I left the festival fair half way through and went to get my cousin back home. We arranged a band to bring here back home and its was loads of fun.

I woke up early and went to my cousin's house. The same old prewedding ceremonies had began for the third wedding. Later on, we went to naturals ice cream store. One of my favorite place to eat creams. I played safe and picked mango favor. Then next up, we went to a play station to play pool. In the evening, I got home and went to the beach with my cousins from home. We wanted to take some pictures and relive our childhood days. As kids we used to ride in our jeep and go to the beach almost every week and play in the sand and build castles. We always enjoy going through the old pictures and videos. Finally, years later we all reunited and had the same kind of fun as teenagers. Post beach trip we took a little stop home and went out for dinner. We ordered our favorite Indian meals. I love eating Indian food in restaurants it tastes absolutely divine. After dinner, I went to my cousin's place for sleep over because, it was the bride to be cousin's birthday we surprised her at midnight and after cutting the cake we started talking about ghost and scary stories I was super scared but survived the night. Haha!!
Slept late at night but, had to wake up early in the morning. At around 7 am me and my cousins from home headed out to Mumbai. We went to Oberoi mall. I loved the mall it didn't have all my favorite stores but, I went to forever 21 and brought some stacking rings. We had an amazing lunch at a place called Copper Chimney. I highly recommend this place. I literally got to try all the wonderful Indian food in just one stop. Next up, we were almost ready to leave the mall but I spotted an old Bollywood actor and I followed him around. I also went to the same cafe as he went to for lunch. My cousin paid 100 rupees for a water bottle and soda just so it won't be too awkward. I have couple video but, could get a picture. I wasted 2 hours in this whole progress but I choose my cousin who is crazy enough to wait for me this long. We drove to a movie theater but didn't have much time to watch an entire movie so, we went to explore a fort. This a place fairly close from my house but, I saw it for the first time and it was beautiful. We went to Nai's house of dinner. Thanks to Supri tai for arranging an amazing dinner we enjoyed it a lot. We drove around for a bit and got home supper late. It was pass midnight when I got home and honestly, was so thankful to spent the last day of year 2015 in India and with my favorite people. Truly a memorable last day.
