Indian Weddings

It is an expensive way of showing two people want to ghapa ghap... exclusively with each other

Indian weddings are an extravaganza, to say the least. Even though they are celebrated differently across the country, but the main idea remains the same... "LIFE KA SAVING URAO"
(SPEND ALL YOUR LIFE SAVINGS). I have only been a guest (and have no intention to be on the other side) but these things make me cringe. The amount of hard work required to make one (properly with respect to Indian standards) is just disturbing. I understand that marriage represents the "milan" (join) of 2 families but the way it is shown is just... too much. I have seen brides and grooms with dark circles at the end of the fiasco, they look like they have finished an Ironman competition.

"Gold medal dede thakur!!!"

I can assure you, there are special dresses and jewellery kept only for the occasion of a wedding, guests are expected to dress properly, especially in vibrant colours. It is sort of a fashion show for them, people show their "status" or whatever they deem important to their ego. Normally guests rate a wedding by the gift they buy, more expensive a gift, the more they want to go.
Welcome to my red room of weddings. The colours might hurt your eyes.

I have attended a wedding of my family members, it is sooooooooooooooooooooo (I could have used adjectives but nothing explains better than I wrote ) boring. Generally, they are celebrated over 3 days with various activities which I have no intentions to explain. They are so convoluted, my head is completely sedated with confusion throughout. Only positive is the food...

These silver cauldrons can make or break a wedding. 

Yes. Food. Weddings tend to have "jakassss" (complete opposite to Jackass) food. My personal agenda to go to a wedding is the food. That's the metric for criticizing a wedding's quality. If the food is bad, people lose their shit. It is the rich version of a mid-day meal and we, the guests, come obliging.

But, just like how Sun rises from the East.
Guests will always criticize a wedding

Local Trains

This is what happens when something is too cheap. Can you see a train? I see a human centipede A train travel's quality depends on 3 factors: Space in the compartment Number of people Cheapness of ticket It seems while maximising 2 and 3, they completely forgot about 1...like completely. How is it physically possible to fit so many people into such small spaces? (No " that's what she said" jokes) The only other place I have seen so many living creatures in a single place is a bee-hive. It is amazing to see how people get perplexed by the sight of other passengers fit into an already Indian  filled train cabin (you know it's a quite a lot if it is Indian filled), it looks like they go into some other dimension... Who thought the gateway to some other dimension would be some local train station 40 km from Kolkata? It seriously feels like living in an armpit. We'd give the game "Plague Inc" a good run for their money by ac...

Chappals (Sandals)

Image
It's a bikini for your feet.   " Look at that *insert derogatory   terms  to demean feet* "                                 Chappals are comfortable to wear whilst keeping your feet dry and cool. However, it's more than that. They grow into your feet. In hot and humid (basically Indian) conditions, these dinguses are very suitable. No other accessory bonds with your body like a chappal, it's almost like a "mother hugging" your feet.  The oldie but goldie Chappals                                                           (Sidenote:National Footwear, eh?) Chappals: They are Cheap... (Because it consumes less material to make) comfortable to wear Healthy for your feet The only pro...

Bis-kut

Image
No, I refuse to spell it as "biscuit". You only get the emotion when you say bis-kut.  Without it, all evening snacks would be... I don't know what to say, I have never had just plain chai.... ever. Let's just say it is blasphemous to do so. Their coupling would topple the popularity of Viruksha, easily. (Although, not as cute) Saath janam taak ek saath But you can have bis-kut alone, any time of the day, anywhere in the world. It is sort of a universal food, (kind of like Maggi) and it takes no effort to make... because it is pre-baked. But unfortunately, they don't possess the power (or the nutritional value tbh) to be a meal (if you brave enough, it can be, not advised). I once had one entire packet of bis-kuts for dinner because there wasn't good food in the mess... My stomach disagreed with the choice of food, and a few hours later gave me a piece of its mind. My stomach after gulping 2 packets of dry mari-gold There is a clear cut met...
