North Indian Weddings
by Clint Barton on Feb 08, 2013 11:05 AM  | Hide replies


North Indian weddings are an offense to all 5 human senses!

They are actually an attempt to say that the groom and his family have over-sized genitalia when in fact it is the exact opposite case!

In reality, the smaller the groom's package, the louder his wedding!

North Indian people go to unrealistic lengths to hide their deficiencies, of which their weddings are a prime example!

But then, such crass behavior can only be expected from North Indians!

There should be follow up articles on how money is wasted on other things like food, decorations and so on at these events just to make a completely unnecessary and mute point!

Dude, the South is being corrupted by the North Indian infiltrators who take advantage of the insecurities of South Indians regarding their darker complexion, thick accents and so on!

South India was a region renowned for giving India thinkers, leaders and intellectuals.

It owes its ancestors a debt of responsibility in carrying forward its erudite traditions NOT following moronic North Indian trends and traditions!

What do they do in their spare time ? what are their struggles ? The first photo says we will have a look and then just a series of photos with no subject matter. Hopeless....

It is a ploy by Rediff that readers will go through multiple pages and they can have different advertisements in each page and make money out of it. Earlier they used to publish articles like top 10 buildings in World, then they increased it to top 30 and pretty soon they will come out with article that says top 100 buildings in World and have an article that runs 100 pages with photo in each page and no content :-)

The bands should unionise,that empowerment would allow them to raise their standard of living.

What
by Jaganniwas Iyer on Feb 07, 2013 05:44 PM

The truncated, harassed look on the countenance of the band performers even as those around them dancing their way away to glory says it all. In the revelry and crass display of wealth, status and what-not, we forget these souls. This is nothing but disguised unemployment and the prevalance of the remnants of a decadent feudal order, which can be replaced only through rapid industrialization.
