Patna: Second son of Bibha Jha and scientist Gopal Jee Jha(late) Mr Arvind jha
got engaged in Nuptial Knot with Runa Jha, a resident of Bettiah, West
Champaran. Mr. Arvind is working in CID office, Ranchi, Government of Jharkhand
while Runa Jha is a commerce graduate.
The day and date of the marriage was Sunday, 21st
April, 2019. A number of august persons, along with the relatives and friends
comprised the Barati of the bride and groom. At 12 O’clock in the morning, the
Baratis started for Bettiyah in a cavalcade and reached there at about 5 pm. The
Baratis were received at a famous hotel in Bettiah. In the evening, the entire
cavalcade started to proceed to the bride’s house at Banu Chapad along with
Bands in Pomp and Show.
As the Barat Band approached near the house of the
bride, large number of people had Gathered to Greet Groom and his family
members, relatives and friends. “It was a spectacular spectacle indeed. Enthusiasm
and elation were sky-high, especially among the kids, namely Ekki, Subh, Swara, etc. The family members and friends of the
bride were dancing in such exuberance as if they all are in 7th
heaven. Even the groom himself could not contain their excitement. He too
started dancing like a rock star”, said Sushmita Jha, sister of the groom and a
famous competitive examinations’ teacher.
The Barats were then escorted to a hall that itself was
bedecked like a bride. Soon after the Barats were made to relax, a host of
respectable people approached the sister-in-law of the Bride, Mr. Ashish Jha,
the writer and owner of this site to accompany them at a place adjacent to the
venue. When he reached at that place, his feet were washed by a gentleman. It
is a long tradition in marriage which is still being practised by the Maithil
Brahmins. Mr Sanjeev Tiwari, ASM in a Multinational Company was also approached
with the same request, to which he(though reluctantly) acceded to.
An IIT Post-Graduate and elder brother of Arvind Jha, Mr
Pankaj Kumar Jha when contacted said, “It is quite heartening to see all my
family members in unison. We all are very happy. We wish both bride and groom a
happy and prosperous life ahead. The arrangement here is quite smooth. I
appreciate the sense of hospitality of the people here. I am quite confident
that the merger of two families will bring prosperity for both the families.”
Teacher of the prestigious St. Michael School and elder
sister of Arvind Jha, the bride, Mrs. Amita Jha, better known as the
intellectual face of the family said, “I could not have asked anything more. We
are happy, the parents of the bride are happy, the people have thronged here
just to see us, they all are happy. What could have been better than this? I
have got good reasons to believe that the people of Bettiah will remember the
marriage of my sibling”.
Sushmita Jha, noted teacher of Reasoning and Math and sister
of the groom, was overwhelmed with emotions. When contacted, she said, “ I
struggle for the apt word to describe my emotional upsurge. It is like a dream
coming true. It is like the greatest gift the Almighty God has bestowed on us.
It is amazing, it is eternal; it is like a thing of beauty that which will give
us joy for ever. Thank you all of you for gracing the occasion.
