>May really is the month of hot sun and weddings..isn't it??
>and there is a social compulsion to attend these weddings if you are given an invite (mind you..we wont invite you for our functions if you don't for yours)
>I am 25 now and that means most of the people I know are either married or about to get married and I do respect them enough to attend their weddings (no really I go for the food and for the possibility to meet a Kamalini Mukherjee type figure... In my mind I am always a Kamal hassan)
>This is how I view weddings generally.Lots of flowers are thrown about claiming to be decoration. Too much jewellery is worn by people and they wear funny costumes..especially the groom & bride.. The food is normally excessive and at times delicious. People pass comments like "payyan ok.ponnu sumaaru thaan or payyan konjam vayasaanavan maadiri theriyaraan illa." (The groom is too good for the girl or the groom looks like the girl's dad). Most people invariably spend a big portion of their life savings on their child(ren)'s weddings.. (alaiyapayuthe style wedding with AR Rahman BGM is a myth boss)
>I often end up thinking to myself "Do I really need to have forsaken my pleasures of solitude to have attended this?" Am i going to follow up on the misery of these fellows' married life or will I even see them again?
>I cant but think of George Carlin's quote on Churches -'A place where people gather to compare clothing' and say to myself- Boy this applies very well to weddings..
>And to think I will one day probably have to play clown in this sort of a circus is deeply troubling…
