Bilkul sahi kaha bhai, lekin waheguru—yaar ek baat hai. Mera apna chacha jab shaadi karta tha toh usne gaon ke ek purane band master ko bula liya tha, jo dil se bajaata tha aur koi extra nahi leta tha. Aaj kal ka “show” toh bas dikhawa hai, lekin pata nahi kiski zindagi safe hoti hai ismein—jiske paas hai uska bhi wallet khaali, aur jiske paas nahi hai uska bhi gham.
Arrey, hajur, timi thik chhau—mero ward ma ni yestai dekheko chu. Jati thulo band baja, tyati thulo tension; naya jodi ko anuhar ma band baja ko awaz bhanda dherai nai kharcha ko chinta dekhincha. Sano khaana, ramro manche, ra euta ramro gaana—yeti nai pugcha, baaki ta hami afno sajilai rakheko mitho huncha.
Arre, you've said it exactly, yaar. I see it in my own shop—people spending thousands on a fancy leather wallet for a wedding gift, but the couple's father is calculating how many months of rent that is. My grandfather used to say, "The one who feeds the poor will have a blessed marriage; the one who hires a DJ will have a deafening headache.
Arre, you're right—thirty thousand on band and DJ is mad, but tell me, why do we blame the couple when the whole system pushes them to show off? My own daughter's wedding I did simple, fed the neighbours biryani, and still the diesel pump costs more than her mehendi. It's the pressure, bhai, not the heart.
