This blind race of making oneself bigger, capable, capable and prosperous than others through marriage events is definitely very dangerous. The tendency to show one’s prosperity by drinking borrowed ghee is definitely going to lead to the downfall of the individual, family and society. The glare of the present four days is going to push the future into deep darkness.
Due to the decreasing pace of Corona in the country and the relaxation in the restrictions imposed by the government, life seems to be normalizing now.
Naturally, the splendor of wedding programs has also returned. Now they are getting crowded as before. Recently, after Devuthani Ekadashi, when the process of marriage started, I also got the opportunity to attend many marriages one after the other.
It is evident in this pomp of marriage, as always, there were opulences of opulence and luxury. The organizers were seen spending more money than their capacity in a race that was seen on the lines of ‘Teri kameez meri kameez se white kaise?’. Money was seen flowing like water on tents and electrical furnishings due to the need to enhance the brilliance of the wedding venues such as Garden, Dharamshala, Laj-Hotel.
The decoration of the function pandal is fine, the food has also been made a means of displaying one’s ability, it seems. In the competition to serve something new or new varieties in food, the figure of dishes made was seen going beyond fifty-six enjoyment. Even the organizer may not know the names of all the dishes. Now even if the eater is not able to taste more than four or five dishes, he cannot taste it or is seen leaving it in the plate, the economic prosperity of the organizer has been demonstrated.
Needless to say, there is bound to be wastage of food along with money in such marriage ceremonies. You think, will any guest be able to stop the wastage of food even if he wants to? By showing wisdom, he may not taste some of these many dishes or take one or half a piece of each dish, even if in some quantity, the wastage of food is sure. However, it would be unreasonable to expect so much understanding from all the guests.
Ever since the ‘buffet’ culture has expanded in our country, the wastage of food has also increased. There is no such thing as the evil of buffet culture. The deficiency is only in us, because the rites of following its right methods have not flourished here. It is often seen in wedding ceremonies that people keep more and more food items together in their plate due to the thought of whether they will get it later or will be left in the plate, but later most of the people keep ‘Juthan’. leave as. In such a situation, if fifty-six or more dishes are made, then who can stop the wastage of food?
The importance of every grain of food has been told in our culture. Food is called Brahman, it is considered to be equal to God. In such a situation, the throwing of food in the form of ‘juthan’ in marriage ceremonies is not a contempt for food or an insult to the deity? In a country where millions of children die of hunger and malnutrition untimely, how far is it appropriate to use food as a medium of display of their prosperity?
This blind race of making oneself bigger, capable, capable and prosperous than others through marriage events is definitely very dangerous. The tendency to show one’s prosperity by drinking borrowed ghee is definitely going to lead to the downfall of the individual, family and society. The glare of the present four days is going to push the future into deep darkness.
We are adept at copying things. In that copy, don’t use wisdom at all. This is the result of showing off in banquets or banquets. If copying is to be done, it should be done in those countries, where there are strict laws regarding wastage of food in food. In many countries, there is a provision of heavy fines for food wastage.
In many countries, there is even a limit on the maximum number of dishes that can be served in a feast. No one can cook more dishes there than that. Thus four to five types of food are sufficient. If you add some sweets and so on, this number can increase. Earlier, when there was a tradition of feeding and serving people sitting on the ground, then so much food was not wasted. But we have left that tradition.
We have to save the society from this competition of food wastage and we will be able to do this only or we will be able to give some message to the society, when we start it from ourselves. It would be better that we organize the wedding events in our family with the simplicity and dignity and brighten the future of the couple who are bound by the dazzling expenditure of the wedding ceremony. |
