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.
