Thrissur, May 4: Within minutes after getting married, a young bride here ran from the wedding pandal to the exam hall to write the university examination which was postponed to today due to the BJP-sponsored all-India hartal yesterday.
To the surprise of other students, Neethu turned up for the examination in her wedding attire and jewels as she did not want to miss her final year B Sc examination with the bridegroom Sreejith.
The newly wedded couple rushed from the Koorkanchery temple to St Mary’s College about five km away, as the time gap between the ‘muhurtham’ of the marriage and the exam was negligible.
The exam was originally scheduled by Calicut University for yesterday but it was postponed in view of the hartal. “This should have been a relaxed day in her life. But she had been tense since yesterday as the wedding and exam coincided,” Neethu’s relative said.
Sreejith had to wait outside the hall till the exam was over.
