I have realised in time that I am not a person who likes to attend functions or marriages and get togethers unless it is of a very close friend. Especially in the hindu functions, or pooja's the purpose is always defeated. There will be a priest sitting in a corner singing his mantras, but none of the audience sitting there are intersted to even know about the rituals, why it is followed etc. I am no exception. Most of us are either waiting for the food to be served or chatting loudly with other people around gossiping about people, sometimes about the same people whose function we are currently attending. From my childhood to till now, we have also done many functions and I am sure I never gave a deep thought about it until now ! In some occassions, the host is hardly interested to greet you...isnt that the worst thing??you call someone and dont welcome or treat them well. In a marriage where 1000 people have been gathered,can you greet each of them personally and be with them ?? I am contradicting myself :)
All the relations, people, family... all these words have such a broad meaning. Its difficult to build the borders and definetely more difficult to define who belongs inside it.
I personally do not want to attend any functions nor want to organise any. Even if I do in future, the people inside my border will be hardly few. According to me most of the people in our society do all the rituals just for the sake of it. Ask them the meaning of it and they are speechless. But these are the same people who talk all big things about religion, god.. etc. I cant measure one's belief but it definelty looks a lot meaningless to me most of the times. But I am sure I can talk all big things, I too will end up repeating this again...in the process of pleasing others...
God bless me...
