Here comes the bride in an Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla lehenga, Millennium Bra costing $ 10 million and A Carine Gilson diamond thong costing $ 15 million.


Here comes the bride in an Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla lehenga, Millennium Bra costing $ 10 million and A Carine Gilson diamond thong costing $ 15 million.
Mahatma Gandhi and Morarji Desai must be turning in their graves (sorry were they not cremated? Why is it named “Raj”ghat / is it because he triumphed over British raj? ,Sorry I am digressing.)

It makes me  nauseous  when the  media goes  all gaga over  a much maligned  institution of marriage which is  becoming  more and  more irrelevant.
 I think it all started when some propagandist decided to make the British royalty look chic with  Diana  and  Charles’s wedding.
But in a world where children look like this



 And just a stone’s throw from Mukesh Ambani’s palatial house there are people making a living by picking through garbage.


The well to do and a part of the not well to do is going  gaga over this latest show of  conspicuous consumption in India.
It is a fucking shame  so much  media space is occupied by such trivialities when there are so many other  burning topics in India to cover.
