Marriage Is A Special Occasion In India

India is the greatest of all the countries in the world in terms of festival celebrations. There all the human activity is an auspicious celebration. They celebrate anything new purchased from bike to car, from a small plot to a multi-storey apartment, from a new shirt to the mattress. They celebrate every visit to a temple, a new house, a new office, a new workplace, a new city. These celebrations may be culturally, socially, religiously coated or shaded with the mixture of the two or three.

Marriage in India is a heavenly union of two soul mates.

Indians make a wedding an exceptional occasion in one’s life because they consider marriage as the union of two soul mates by decreeing the religious code mentioned in Hindu scriptures.

In India, it is customary for the groom to go to the bride’s abode to marry. The groom goes with his close and far relatives and friends with great pomp and show. A music band blowing their instruments at an unacceptable pitch leads the Barat( the marriage party).

Unmusical style of dancing

Excited young guys shake their bodies in an unmusical style of dancing just ahead of the groom’s chariot. Some drunk dancers block the road on both sides in search of an audience seeking a flash of relished pleasure. Many a groom’s friends who were obliged by the groom’s dancing fury in their marriages find a day to repay the obligations.

While the marriage troupe is snailing towards the bride’s beach, some groom’s middle-aged relation flies the new currency notes like paper planes over the dancing party. It is like a bumper draw of a ticketless lottery for the nomadic street children who join the party unnoticed. They jostle each other to pick up their share of a sudden stroke of luck. Sometimes, occasional alcoholics find an occasion to quench their thirst in car-bars following the groom’s chariot.

A boon for booze lovers

Marriage in the winter is a boon for booze lovers. Chilly gusts of wind transforming into an alcoholic appetizer mixed with digestive enzymes do wonders to neutralize peg after peg. By and by marriage party reaches bridedom. The bride’s family with relatives welcome the marriage party offering a rosebud to everyone. Some occupy the chairs. Waiters are serving snacks and soft drinks. In a corner, there is an arrangement of hard drinks- whisky, Vodka, Rum, Red wine and Beer. Guests drink their brands.

In India, drinking wine couldn’t become a part of daily meals. Perhaps, because of its hot climate. However, Somras(wine) is a potion for gods and goddesses, emperors and kings or the lowest social ladder. But the ordinary middle class could never accept it as being extra-ordinary. Therefore, the Indian middle class has a genetic coding due to thousands of years of traditional practice; even today, a good number of middlers abstain from open door drinking in public. Indeed, most of them drink wine occasionally, intermittently or regularly.

The groom’s father goes out in his friend’s car bar and has gulped down two quick shots. Groom’s recently married friends reciprocate his deeds done, has already mixed rum in his cola glass.

The maidens and the madams look like aliens.

The occasion of marriage is a day of special celebration for the maidens and madams. They look like aliens in their gaudy costumes with their gaudy makeups. They have special powers on their planet. They can beat the biting cold of the season in their delicate thin clothes with the most charming smile. They strongly believe woollen wearing is hostile to female corporal beauty. They avoid anything thick or not revealing a natural frame. Only they can realize how a coat or pullover is damaging to a lady’s God gifted beauty! Indian women are too religious to ever go against God’s verdict.

Mr X, with his photogenic eyes, is busy clicking selfies.

You can see a bunch of frolic young hovering around a set of giggling girls seeming to be a heating device in the shivering cold. Mr X is busy clicking selfies with all guys and gals who look beautiful and eye-catching through his photogenic eyes.

Groom’s dad forgets his position in his amusing excitement and begins to keep pace with dancing ladies. Amazingly, the bride’s ultra-mod mom fails to control herself and joins the party.

Settled in Heaven

Indian marriages are globally acclaimed for their long-lasting companionship. This is because they are said to be settled in Heaven. That is why the marriage ties are so tight that no worldly troubles, no sufferings, and no tortures can untie these ties. Because, in Heaven, those who settled marriage have cut off all communication.
