My India trip Part 5 : Wedding fun ;)

Indian weddings can cheer anyone up. They are the epitome of community relations. Its like a buffet of people you get to choose from, you can hang out with anyone, you can even spend just 5 perfect conversation minutes with a lot and move on with your life. Loads of activities to pick on, loads of food choices for the foodies, for shoppers this is a fest, for organizers this is the event, for kids well their whole life every moment is fun.

The best part of wedding has to be all the bollywood dancing I get to do. Okay, no one is raised to be a dancer unless you are trained or really enthusiastic about it. So when someone is trying to pull you to dance floor, just loosen up and throw those wild moves you do when no one is watching. Honestly, the only people who see you dancing are the ones who didn't have guts to join the dance so who cares what they think. Hehe I got a little mean there but start with that till you enjoy the liberating feeling of funky moves.

So yeah dancing is super fun, it helps with bonding, avoiding unwanted work like patrolling that room full of locker jewelry and scientifically it creates some kind of happiness hormone in you. There is something about a song in your language that just triggers legs, shoulders to follow rhythm.

Then of course if you are in a good wedding, food is the ultimate killer. All those different stalls of all your favorite cuisines in one makes me hungry. My sister's wedding had awesome caterers from haryana. These people know how to eat. It was like you stay fit for this kind of stuff.

Next one for me was you escape boredom. Imagine spending a week with just 2 couples who are literally so old they are your parents still fighting over your custody. After 2 days, all the love in the world fades and you realize gosh these people are ancient, all they do is work or make you do work. Aaah wedding helped me escape these corridors of still silent nothings. Fun people, conversations, kids, new rituals are way better than that hellhole of retirement living or worse meeting their friends.

Hmm other reason is you get to observe people, their characters, stories, what made them this way. Why this aunt is so confused or why this kid is so grown up? If you want to study human psychology, start with an indian wedding.

Photos photos photos, this is the only event where you take like a zillion pics. If you forget, there are other people or professionals taking care of it. Who cares what bride wears, like literally no one does. Everyone just knows they have to look good.

Last one for me was to build up my image. Over years, people don't really know you, they only guess what you are about. By just offering water, tea, snacks made by others or touching feet, you are suddenly in their wishes. Hehe its damn easy to please a crowd in wedding. Act smart, be conscious. You will win.
