The marraige season is on. And with this comes the chaos on roads - traffic jams, people not reaching home in time and so on.
The other day I was walking to the market in my colony. On the way a 'barat' had just come on the doors of the bride. The groom was sitting in a beautifully decorated big limousine. His car was a little away from his destination. The friends and relatives were all dancing in front of the car and not letting the groom reach the bride and put the garland, 'var mala', as fast as possible. The celebrations were going on - loud music, dancing and the fireworks.
While the marraige party was enjoying itself a number of vehicles were stuck in the jam that followed the celebrations. The road was completely blocked and traffic from both ends came to a stand still. Some, from the party, were seen trying to help but invain.
Tempers ran high and the persons sitting in the jammed vehicles were cursing the marraige party - they could not do any thing further.
Now, tell me when a marraige is taking place in the family we invite guests to shower their blessings on the newly weds and here you are getting cursed because no one took care to avoid any inconvinience being caused to the others. If only, we had been a little more careful atleast there would have been no curses, even if blessings did not come from these people.
