A Tough Competition

I had been to a marriage ceremony in one of my relatives yesterday. The reception looked as if I came to a flower exhibition. When I get in the hall, there were dozens of chandelier and dozens of air conditioner. The numbers of paintings hanging on the walls made me think if I were in an art gallery. I was lost in the ostentation of the hall when I came to the rent of the hall is 10lakh.

I was taken aback when I hear about the rent. I was wondering how many difficulties we create with our own life. We are entrapped by self created problems. People don’t marry without loads and loads of Jahez, kilos and kilos of gold, feel ashamed without having expensive venue. This is from where competition begins.

This creates complex among those who can’t afford much. I often observe that people count the number and worth of dresses and furniture others give to their daughters. To save the honor in society, they are forced to spend in access on the marriage.

But to be sensible, it would far better to give the money we spend in extra ordinary ostentation, to those who can’t afford the marriage expenses of a single daughter.

Today, we have to think this through, and kill this trend once for all. We can ease our life if we value our relations more than showing off. Our most of the problems will be over if we think simple and try not to compete through money.
