At one of the family weddings I was reminded of how inspiring bollywood really is for our naive masses, no not the color full dresses or the most elegant way of pronouncing 'Khushee' as 'Kuhshii'. It was when we were all presenting bouquets to the bride and groom, one of the gentlemen responded to the bride's twinkling thankyou with 'doston main thankyou nahi !' and waved his hand like he was embarking on the journey to the center of the earth right after getting of the stage!
Why ? I asked myself , why couldn't he simply say 'you're welcome:)' and manage a good smile I'm sure smiles make the ugliest of faces look good. The answer to this why is very simple, this trend of not expressing gratitude not welcoming, came from across our eastern borders. Some dashing heart break hero uttered these trendsetting words and now you can hear it resonating in every nook and cranny. Poor bride and groom, sat there recieving a very very diverse set of responses with the bouquest and accompanying spoon fulls of 'healty' sweets from someone niraala. I wonder if love can over come nausea ? or these niraala sweets don't trigger nausea no matter how many tons you consume.
Well then who cares, another bollywood super duper hit hero had set the course of our society by saying 'tension lenai ka nahi denai ka' ! and we have then forth followed it blindly almost religiously. From roads to markets to families to friends and fiends alike, NO FEAR , xXx , BULLET, JUST DO IT!. And so we are all JUST DOING IT, brainlessly following the shining blip that's sure to lead you into a preheated tandoor. Anarchy is the ultilmate destination of our people, but there is hope a new generation of literate, civilized mothers ! they and only they can transform the nations decadence into glow.
