today i was watching on the tv the weddings of rich and the famous.One of the weddings highlighted was of an indian's daughter.It was a beautiful wedding , planned meticulously, spread out for several days, each day hallmarked with a higlighted event. The wedding stage was like that set for a movie with huge paintings, floral decorations, ribbons, fountains and even a victorian styled chariot.Savoury dishes of nth kind, desserts, gift items to be distributed for those who attended, music, dance, an award ceremony for family members etc etc.The magnitude of planning was awesome, it was like a truly happy princess wedding finally marked with an splendid fireworks display.But what struck me most was the amount of money being spent on organising such a mega gala weddings.
There were times, though even today there are quiet a few who believe in it, when people prefered sober, quiet wedding with few close attendees.Some even believe it to be a great blessing if the rest of the money was given away on charity.
In a country like india marked by a stark difference between the rich and poor, the rich becoming super rich and poor , becoming more poorer, it comes out as harsh reality.
But thats the way most prefer it today.
There are very few who have come forward to give for the underprivileged.
Don't know when will there be an end of poverty in the world.
