Greetings..
Today is my first blog of life.. Was thinking about it for lot of Time.. Was advised to write by many people, so today is my first BLOG after lot of thinking and pondering..
I went to attend a marriage of my brothers Friend in plush locality of Patna in Kankerbagh Colony.. It was a normal love cum arranged marriage prospered in a side by side MNC cubicle of NCR..
I met the groom.. Wished him best of luck for his future... The bride was in next hall dressed up for marriage.. (The Groom family has walked down to Patna for marriage as there hometown was in a distant village of a remote district of Bihar. So, gal family gave them the next hall adjacent to marriage hall for staying and managing guest and everything)...
The stage was set for a great evening..
Now comes the real thing.. In INDIAN CUSTOM IT IS THERE THAT A GROOM HAS TO COME IN A HORSE OR ANYTHING (BARAAT)..
Here is the main twist which shocked me so much that I have to write a blog for it..
The boy family was so adamant for it that they called a band baja wala and after that they went away two kilometer and then came back to the same place and same marriage hall with all halla hulla n dance al..With band baja rolling famous JIMMY JIMMY and KANTA LAGA songs.. My mind rolled the thought about snobbishness of INDIAN COMMUNITY...
What was the need for that 4 kilometer ride.. When you know the reality that the bride is next door.. When you know the girl.. U could have simply walked with your family member to the next hall..It is simply wastage of money,time and everything.. Indians wake up.. Get real.. Donot make wrong use of resources just for customs sake.. That four kilometer ride was worth 20 thousand bugs.. What if that could have utilized for future or for some good work sake..
These again proves that we are very snobbish.. Away from reality and fact.. For a few snaps for album for whole life, we are ready to spend so much money but for basic items we are not ready to give standard money.. Haha..
WAKE UP INDIA FROM POOR SNOBBISHNESS..THESE ALL THINGS LET US DOWN FROM MEDIEVAL ERA GLORY OF PAST.. GET DOWN TO FACT AND THEN ACT RATHER PRACTISING OLD CUSTOMS..
