Big marriage party and more..

I recently got to attend a big usual Indian wedding in Delhi.With the usual stuff of showing off with lots of waiters,lots of unnecessary variety in dishes,heavy cutlery,mocktails etc and etc.To make it a more classy affair all aunties were dressed up in heavy sarees and loads of make up.Some were even beyond recognition.I really appreciated the difference make up makes on one looks but with a cost.Most people or ladies are not able to handle all this emotionally.They start to walk and talk with the attitude,hobnobbing anyone who is modestly dressed as if the person's value depends upon her way of dressing.They even don't want to seen with relatively poor relative no matter if he/she is close or not.They just group with made up ladies with more or less same standard.It was a big put off for me.
  According to me a wedding should be highly personal affair with celebration of mingling family with family and entwining of two lives rather than a showcase of jewelleries,sarees and services provided by bueaty parlors.The host family members should especially take care to introduce newly formed relation and make everyone feel comfortable despite of his/her looks or economic standing.To make people feel comfortable is the best quality of host but here they actually flock together chatting with such an air of self imposed vanity and importance that they succeed in making everyone feeling as outsider.And in this whole process they just forgot why other people are here for? And 
  • NO! they are not to see your ostentatious,obnoxious display of wealth and 
  • NO! they are not even here to know who is having an affair and who recently bought a ferrari and with black money and 
  • NOT certainly to know how much your things cost.
 Sweethearts..They are actually here to give their blessings to bride and bridegroom for the new starting of their commitment and wedded life.But everyone is soooo involved in himself or herself that he forgets the REAL reason of gathering and function.
   Well i do have complains of the menfolks too.They are most of the time absent either checking out aunties or complaining about their wives or of course drinking.Drinking is sooo much important.No matter they are actually happy from the union or not or even they are good friends with the involved families or not,No one leaves the opportunity of free booze which acc to then is the "JAAN" of the party and party is incomplete without it.God knows how they smell,behave,bad mouth or even drive their families home.
 Next time please behave more sensibly and socially..
