I'm at my friend's village. He and his family is so glad to have me to join the wedding.
When I arrived here, he and his parents along with his sister were standing in front of their house to welcome me. His parents blessed me.
People who attended the party were from his and nearby villages. So simple and innocent people. I talked to them They told interesting things about their villages and village life. We kept chatting for more than an hour.
My friend's sister will leave for her in- law's house tomorrow morning at 10 a.m..
It is now time to go bed. Here the village people go to bed early.
However I'm glad to see internet is easily accible here which is something I had not expected.

It is in the eastern part. West Bengal and Jharkhand also Chhattisgarh are our neighbouring states. You can see jungles around one kilometres from my town. I'm from Odhisa.
Good night, my friend.

Thank you. He is my intimate friend since we were in primary school. Now he lives with his parents and helps them in growing paddy and vegetables. We are very happy to meet after years. I attended the party and took dinner there. Thought I should share it all with my awesome friends on mylot. I'm glad to see I can access internet here in this remote village. Now I and my friends are hearing the sounds of jackals and hyaenas coming from the jungle surrounding the village
Good night, my friends. I think it is early morning in your country, isn't it. Here in India it is going to be midnight.
Wish you a nice day.

@Shivram59 A wedding is always a good excuse to get people together

Yes, they gave me a very warm welcome. My friend had not expected me to cross the jungle and come to join the wedding.
We saw his sister off and then am going to leave for home.
Now it is my turn to invite my friend to join me at my niece's wedding by the end of the year of sometimes in January next year.

@Fleura Of course, a wedding provides us to meet our friends. But the villagers I met with were strangers to me. I had never seen or talked to them. But now we are friends. At least we now know each other.
