Before the big day began, there was one important lesson left.

This picture was taken on the morning of my brother's wedding, when our Kumar was patiently teaching him how to tie the Minnu. Apparently, the knot used to tie the Minnu is called the ആൺകെട്ട് (Aan Kettu), a reef knot, also known as the square knot. With a random piece of rope and the drumstick tree behind our house, they practised the knot until my brother got it right. It was such a cute and funny moment to watch.

Seeing Kumar patiently teach my brother how to tie the Minnu felt natural. It was also a reminder to myself that knowledge isn't defined by titles, professions, or status. It belongs to those who have it and are generous enough to share it.There's always something to learn from someone and all it takes is the willingness to listen.

Could there be a better way to begin a marriage ?

When my brother's wedding was fixed, our only plan was to keep it small, simple, and meaningful. We never really thought about having live music until a few friends suggested that the guests might enjoy it and that it would add a lovely atmosphere to the function.

Through Jose Joseph we got to know Benyamin Peter from Moopansband . That's when a simple thought crossed our minds. Instead of looking elsewhere, why not give this opportunity to the talented youngsters from our own village? We got in touch with Benyamin Peter , and he happily agreed. From that point on, we left everything in his hands. We didn't discuss a playlist or ask for specific songs. We simply trusted them.

Looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. Every song was chosen beautifully, the performance felt effortless, and each member of the band did a wonderful job. They didn't just fill the silence. They created memories and added so much warmth and joy to our celebration. It feels special to see such incredible talent coming from our own village. Supporting local talent is more than just giving someone an opportunity. It is believing in our own people and helping our community move forward together.

Here's to celebrating local talent, encouraging one another, and growing together as a village. When one of us gets an opportunity, our entire village shines a little brighter. It was a pleasure associating with you Benyamin Peter ❤️
