It is a whole new series of festivals in Indian weddings, series because it usually lasts for a whole week at least. The big fat Indian wedding is not an occasion meant for a single day. Western world is left wondering why we need weeks for a wedding. We need to show off. We need to shout our lungs out till the entire city knows someone somewhere is getting married. Yes, we won't call it a wedding unless crackers have been burst to some serious extent leaving the environment hazy with smoke and the DJ would be made to yell his enthusiasm out (on behalf of the families) in a loudspeaker. No wonders in Pune few months back, National Green Tribunals (NGT) was offended and decided to put severe restrictions on live bands, DJ music, band processions on road, crackers and other noisy elements which we happily call wedding celebrations. Shouldn't the entire nation adopt this less noisy wedding celebration curriculum?
