Also Micromanagement: When the daily affairs of 15 people involved however remotely with an event are mapped into well defined time slots so as to turn them into skin-breathable robots purely for the sake of sanity of the event organizers.
Now that we've got that out of the way, I invite all my lovely readers to my funeral, which is slated to occur at exactly T hours, where
T = t0 + t1 + t2
to: Time at which author's mom views post
t1: Time taken for aforementioned mother to stare at the screen in disbelief
t2: Time taken for author to be fished out from under the bed
Ah well. Weddings bring out the best in people. The house is a mess of color, invitations and frayed nerves. while the telephone is equally excited. Some things are common to all Indian (South Indian) (TamBrahm) (Iyer) weddings - there must be at least one problem of critical importance for every day from D-30 days, all servant maids must decide to go on strike/pilgrimage/hunger fast for women's empowerment for a sum total of 1 week starting from D-20 days, and, well, you really have to keep shopping till D day.
Other things, of course, are peculiar to tech-savvy, charted accountant ruled, micromanaged and macro-thinking households. Like Excel sheets, scheduled reminders, VOIP chats with bride and groom, bemused younger brother of bride, etc. Need to update gifts sent/received by that dude who lives in Wassupripet? Just pivot around that district, sort them in order of name, and pull up that reference from column J. Voila! Organization in 1,436 easy steps...
Aaah... Weddings are so much fun.
