Well, I have been married for five years now. Yippee....Yippee.. Ye... Ye... :-) On a flashback, I remember my marriage was like any other wedding. A simple yet grand Indian wedding.
This year, my younger sister got married. That's a wedding to remember, maybe a benchmark for others to follow. Her wedding was a successful pompous show. From the get together party, mantap, hall, the food and the dressing all was fabulous, making the guests say 'WOW'. A perfect Gen Next Wedding...
Well, so after the wedding, when I sat back and relaxed. I started wondering what a drastic change has happened in 5 years... Is this called Generation Gap?
On a flashback, I remember my wedding, the first marriage in the whole family of my parents. As I was the eldest granddaughter of all in both my mother's side and father's side. I had no say on anything, whatever decided was OK with me, kind of goodie goodie girl, that I am. Even I did not have any thought what should it be like!!! :-)
Kya zamana tha... / Kitni Dumb thi... [In today's terminology...]
Coming back, to this year's wedding. I was an ominiscious present in all the departments in the entire marriage occasion. In these five years, I have seen enough weddings. I have grown into an individual with my own self image. Also, I have accumulated many thoughts/expectations in a marriage. As the famous saying goes, "Experience is the best teacher".
Surprise package of the whole wedding was the bride, i.e. my own sister. She was the one determined to handicraft her own wedding. And I was there for her, to see that all her thoughts and expectations take shape. She had arranged a DJ Party on her get together. She had her say for the Hall, the design of the mantap... basically everything...
I wonder how different we both are? Or is it the Great Generation Gap...
Whatever one may call it, today's young generation are really tough nuts. They enjoy the material benefits. Exposed to Over Hyped Media with reality shows in the center stage. Shows like Roadies, Splitsvilla, are the IN thing. They live their life king size, as if there is no tomorrow.
Good or bad,... this is how things are...and will continue to change in the years to come. As the popular saying goes, "Change is Constant, adapting to change is a smart move".
I wonder how would it be in the years to come.... The Great Indian Wedding :-) ))
Here goes a popular saying,
