WEDLOCK OR WARLOCK??
In the name of Allah the most merciful, I
,Afifa,cordially invite you to the occasion of publishing of my article on the
big fat Indian wedding! For weddings have become quiet the affair in Kerala
today. Every weekend i go home from hostel, yearning for some good food and i
end up attending some great great great grandfather’s late daughter's younger
son's eldest daughter’s wedding! These days people are taking wedding to such a
new dimension that it has exceeded my frustration limit!One
thing is that I hardly know whose wedding I am attending ,i wont even know
whether I am from the bride’s side or the groom’s side. I go there, sit patiently
till the nikkah ceremony is over, watch
people fuss on their costumes and jewellery. I gaze around and see aunties gossiping
about the dowry, about how 'big' and ‘costly’ the car is.. and amidst all this
I find the bride’s dad in a not so jovial mood😉..As
soon as the nikkah is over people rush to the food counter where there are about
50 new dishes being served. This is the saddest part of the story.. cos these
days the moment I receive a wedding invitation I get the smell of biriyani!! So
when my friend told me that in a recent wedding he attended they served pastas
and noodles, I felt a plunge of joy in me..!!Wow!! now that’s a change of menu!Once
the food counter opens a fight ensues in which I find the Darwin’s law of
'survival of the fittest' coming effective! After the first trip of people
have finished eating, I look down to find several chicken legs being walked
upon..and lumps of biriyani rice on de floor😞 all
this fuss for food makes my tummy full and i decide to try out just de dessert
maybe😂The dessert people opens the icecream boxes and
i find all the people suffering from diabetes act as if they are on a parole from
their family members..finally, if i am lucky enough i manage to emerge
victorious with a teeeny weeny scoop of icecream...all mine!!after de food war is over, I try to get a
glance at de couple amidst the spikes nd balds of about twenty photographers...a
glitter f gold..sparkles of diamond..thats all I could see of the bride..
Well
this is wedding!Atleast for several of the people
attending it.. Not so good enough to accept but it must be
accepted because it is the Hard nd Inconvenient FACT!!😄😄!
