Just when everyone suspects the timer has failed, it goes click

It is usually at birthdays and anniversaries and definitely weddings when family gathers en masse. Sitting around in little clumps sniping sundry members with pellets of genial malice when someone says time for the famfoto, come on everyone gather round. And the saga begins.

First, much debate over where the best place for the shot is, here, no there, with the sun at back, then someone says where is dadaji we cannot have a photo without him and old da is having his post lunch nap so a posse is sent to rouse him and it is post haste because uncle Ramesh and aunty Thangam have a flight to catch.
