Have been wanting to write over this subject since quite a long while now.It has not been much time that I have come across a strange 'ritual' that was(is still) completely an alien concept to what we proudly affirm as the Indian Culture - The Hen Parties! . . . . . . . . . Yup..the much hyped Western tradition has been imbibed by a certain bunch of socially celebrated elite 'Indians' so casually that the customary Sindoor and Mangalsutra have taken a backseat against a pointless and weird ceremony that I guess,outshines the rather more reasonable Pre-nuptials! ...And to top it all,the nudity,the vulgarity,dirty dancing,the undue splurging of the disposable money(that could have been served as alms for the destitutes) over liquor and flesh,..are few of the events that comprise the essence of such nights,,even the desserts served aren't spared when it comes to depiction of their sleazy fetishes...more disheartening is when you come to know that the people throwing or enjoying such parties see no harm in doing so,as they feel that this is what life's all about..to enjoy it to it's fullest..and it really doesn't matter even if the level of 'enjoyment' turns up to be uglier than the round of questionnaire in 'The Moment of Truth' or the most popular swayamvar girl vowing on her virginity! ......There are more additions to these hen nights besides those which I've enlisted,but it seems that God has gifted my conscience with a certain degree of authenticity that I don't feel like going beyond a point that hinders the grace of being his blessed child! Please google the term to know more.. PAUSE BUTTON ON
PLAY AGAIN.. So guys,do you still find the Indian woman beautifully draped in the six yard cloth piece,in a way that not even the toenail is visible,yet more sensuous than the skimpily clad ultra modern hotties with their plunging necklines? ............. 'Not anymore' has to be the answer of choice! . . . . Co-incidentally one of my good friends once messaged me some strikingly funny yet true lines - 'Badi badnaseeb hai aane vaali peedhi jo apne maa ke aanchal me naa so paayegi,kyuki jeans pehenne vaali maa aanchal kahan se layegi'. . . Be it the swift divorce rates,the dressing up style,the delicacies,the rampant hurling of abuses or the newly introduced internet slangs...we tend to replicate almost everything from these blondes! . . . . With this kind of the progress rate,I can foresee the height of patriotism being unfolded when we'll sing in one voice "The Star-Spangled Banner" instead of our very own "Jana Gana Mana"! . . . . . . Duhh...I've got a forgetful nature..didn't exactly got to remember that we Indians are born to ape the West in every possible way so that the xerox-sheet also surrenders in front of us chanting in Hinglish lingo "Jai ho Bharat Mata ki,...It happens only in India"! . . . . . . Hmm...'a fact worth getting thoughtful over', must be the prompt output from your meningeal enclosures at the moment...well,it's something that is bound to happen if even a trace of Indianness is intact in you..or else feel free to join the bracket of a desi idiom,we worthily put it together as - "Dhobi ka kutta,na ghar ka na ghat ka"..lovely,isn't it!
I guess I am done with my part of job of enriching your knowledge about the changing face of India,,,I think this's what the former prime minister of India wanted to convey by his slogan 'India Shining' which was rather misinterpreted as 'the rise of Indian standards'.Imposing exorbitant tax rates on entertainment won't help anymore..you gotta literally raise your standards to own the intellect that has a firm approach against the odd things happening around..
I'll pray that the 'previliged lot' acquires one such soon.
Signing out.
