The crux or essence of life I believe should be "view" and "contra Views" . I say this because for every opinion you have on a certain thing be it a movie, a political event, a book, bang comes another opinion which does not agree fully with your view and sometimes completely negates the essence of your view ( CONTRAVIEW ). And so just as I was kicking the media's ass over Liz-Arun marriage came a rather different viewpoint from none other than our Socialist Congress Leader and Tourism Minister Ambika Soni. Make India a "Marriage Tourism" destination !! by glorifying the marriage customs of India and making it attractive to the Foreigners.
Well does sound interesting .. if Yoga and Kamasutra could be marketed to the western world, guess the Indian Marriage should be a cakewalk for us ....... given that perhaps the only place where we conservative Indians really come out of our shell ,show off ,create a huge noise( literally at that ) and even dance our way thru ( remember parents chiding teenagers for visiting a Disc) is perhaps the great Indian Weddings. The pomp and grandeur of the Indian Marriages seems justified since the brides and the grooms in India get this chance to splurge and showoff just once in Life :) . Lucky westerners :)
PS: The last line is changing now but we still have a long way to go and the line still applies to 98% of Indians.
