Two mega events are lined up this year towards the end of monsoon. Diwali the festival of lights and my cousins marriage. Both these events are running back to back like some series of block buster movies in HBO or Star Movies. I think these occasions are itself a movie in disguise. Diwali the festival of lights marks of victory of good over evil, light over darkness. It was on this day that Lord Rama returned from exile of 14 years(forgive me with my history if I m wrong). People of Ayodhya welcomed him back home by lighting Diyas or Lamps in their houses. Since then the festival is celebrated by lighting lamps and bursting crackers and not to mention the sweets and slurpy food that accompanies the festival. I remember those days when we as kids used to burst crackers like maniacs. We use to get up wearly in the morning and have a competion as to who wud be the first person to burst the crackers. The show wud then go on for three days with great excitement and fun. My favorites then were the bombs that produced most of the noise. Boy we use to do crazy thing in the open ground of our school. Today after around 10 years of all this craziness there is no zest to burst crackers and have the same amount of fun. Surprisingly and shockingly the people also have seem to lost the interest. I did not find the environment being polluted by sound and smoke from the bursting of crackers. Wonder what has crept into the peoples minds. Is the modernization of the society and its residents or the conciseness of the people towards the environment or the lack of young school going kids (if this is true then I need to ‘fuk like minks and raise rug rats’ and bring back those lost days)? Well a lot of thinking will be done on this……..rit???
Marriage: the bonding of two souls…….dats wat the elders say (I heard of these in the movies than in real life). Wat ever to me it looks more like a DISCO a few moments of extravaganza, for some it is losing freedom, for some losing virginity and for some it is a compulsion. for me it is Worries Invited For Ever he he he he he;-). Indin weddinf is no fun and especially if u represent the bride. It is the bride’s family who takes care of the entire event I mean the marriage, the function, the food and in some cases even the DOWRY and many more that goes into this bonding. Man the bills seem to never end and money flows like water in a violent river. Get the whole family and close relatives clohes to wear, jwellery , shoes , watches and yield to the boys demands . these are the norms of the century. On the day of the marriage hell lot of people to take care and some weird questions to people whom u never met in your life time it just sucks. I strongly feel why have all these discos? To let the whole world know u, ur daughter or ur son is getting married????? Damn it then why don’t u put an ad in a leading daily news paper people will come to know about it. In my opinion get married in the court or a temple and host a decent reception. Fuk all this hoop-la and gimmick. Use that moey some where else……….maybe charity. Well it seems easy to write here wonder wat will happen to………..!!!!!!!
