In this vlog segment, the speaker stands on a beach in Puri at around 11 PM and observes a lively, late‑night wedding procession. Pumpkin‑shaped carriages, a mandap, a roaming bride, and dancing guests create a festive scene, though the groom is not yet visible. The speaker is repeatedly startled by a drone hovering overhead, filming the ceremony, and even attempts to photograph the drone itself, expressing shock and humorously repeating the observation. Amid the celebration, the narrator briefly reflects on approaching 22 years of marriage, expressing apprehension and hope for the couple’s future. The monologue captures the energetic atmosphere, the unexpected drone presence, and a personal moment of introspection.

Chapters

Oh, this is going to take a long time to go. Look at those pumpkin carriages. Is that for the marriage occasion or is that for something else? Because the marriage has taken place in that mandap. I can see the bride roaming about. Can't see the groom anywhere. Probably the groom is coming down, and there's a group of people dancing. Oh my God! This is a marriage ceremony of somebody wedding somebody. Surely like oh boy saw that. Lots of hullabaloo happening over here. It's almost. 11 PM at night and this is going crazy. Thing is that I'm just— I'm— oh, there's a, there's a drone! There's a drone! Oh my, can you see that? There's a drone taking photographs and I'm taking photograph of the drone. Can you see that? Did you see that? There's a drone! There's a drone! Oh my God, there's a drone taking photograph of the marriage procession and I'm taking photograph of the drone. Okay, I said that twice. I think I need to retract my statement. I'm so shocked. I'm so shocked that I'm repeating myself. I'm really shocked. And it's all the backdrop of the waves lashing at the shore of the beach. Obviously you cannot hear any of the waves right now. I don't know when this guy is going to stop dancing because it's not their marriage, it's somebody else's marriage, but they're dancing. Yeah, obviously. And there's a drone which is hovering above. Very Very scary. I think they're stopping slowly. Okay, since I'm now at almost advancing my 22nd year of marriage, I am little apprehensive that all this will not go to waste. Looking at the way the universe operates. Okay, they've stopped. Now let's hope. For the best for the couple.
