How a meal for 25 turned into a feast for 60
By Sanjeev Gupta
Monika Mour’s story:  After I got married, my joint family of 40 was invited by my in-laws  for the customary first meal. The combined list of people who met on  that day was around sixty. We had made arrangements with a caterer  accordingly. The guests were told that we would be expecting them by  8pm. In India that would be interpreted as 8.45 pm but that was not the  case on the day. Guests began to pour in by 8. That had us worried  because the caterer was late. When he came in we learnt that he had food  for just 25 people. We were terribly upset with him but there was  little he could do at such short notice. A few minutes later, my entire  family maternal as well as marital had gathered in my new house full  strength.
I  did not want the situation to reflect badly on my in-laws and I did not  want the evening to be spoilt for my paternal family either. My  mother-in-law and I did what devotees always do when they do not have  any answers. We prayed to Devi Maa. My mother-in-law tied a mauli  (thread) around Devi Maa’s swaroop (image) and prayed for her help.   
The  dinner began. Everyone had a hearty meal and in the end we realised  that there was food left in the serving bowls that had not been refilled  through the dinner. There was so much food left over in the kitchen  that we had to give much of it away. Sixty people had enjoyed a fest  that was meant for 25 and there was still so much left over. We thanked  Devi Maa for the timely miracle that averted what could have been a  face-losing situation for my new family. 
As told to Satish Purohit
