well, my assist principal MISS JACKSON MALONE 32 died over this week end and they had her funeral ceremony done today .. i had no plan to attend the ceremony at all but my friend came to pick me up and offered me ride and promised to pay the toll-way himself too so i went along with him .. i went to this church which was set up REALLY REALLY NICE .. interior construction was so owesom and they had church choir and band and some priest dude dressed up red was playing electric piano ive never seen such piano board before they had projectors across the church walls and 2 big big screens hanging .. a seperate comp room .. it was just sooo owesom .. people came on stage off and on to xpress their feelings and how they met her for the first time .. and personally i think though she was bare strict about my beard but she was the life of school walking on two legs. they had a lil pray .. a few holly songs .. her mem pichaz .. and etc … i always wondered how wud they actually work in church but i got to admit as far this FUNERAL ceremony goes .. ITS 100 times better then how desi families react .. how desi people cry until their lungs get sour … how they hit on their own-self .. how they act wild …
50.5 cents, looks like you missed the cocktail party after the funeral. It is held at the home of the deceased.
People have different ways of mourning. I think keeping it simple is the best way to go about it. Crying is a natural emotion and shouldn't be controlled.
Actually, it's a bit odd. Usually we consider goraz to be more materialistic with this world and desis are more worried about the hereafter. But ironically, goraz celebrate departure from this world and we mourn the after life of the deceased for years.
our practices are very cultural.. what Indians used to do.. is still done.. just replacing the zaafraani colors with geen or white doesn't change things..
aight MR-SPELL-MASTER but wait !!! did u really need that comma in there munna ?
and i dont care if they cry at home or they mourn their own way but the point is .. they were all dressed up nice and had heck loads of make up on and as they were condoling in their own words they made some funny comments which made most of us laugh and helped some to lower their grievences can u imagine a desi family be doing that after a death ?
p/s: the funny part is my friend turned off the music in car while we were driving up there becoz we believe NO MUSIC SPECIALY WHEN ONE DIES but they had music in church lol it was funny.
PAKI-ABROAD UNCLE: ive no idea wat r u even upto. elaborate uncle tom.
Other day i was reading a hadees according to that ....
Muslims can only cry and feel heavy hearted about the death, but crying out loud and all that stuff we do is gunnah.
It’s not odd. It makes perfect sense to me. Since goras are more materialistic and less emotionally attached to people therefore they don’t get really sad after the death of a relative. On the contrary we desis are tied emotionally very closely to our relatives and thus their loss brings lots of grief and sorrow for us.
This is one of the shortest and most profound comments I have encountered on this subject. Far too many guppies have no clue as to how important part the culture and language play in our lives in the sub-continent. Religion is a distant second.
this is the most heartless comment I have seen in this thread. Mywish…is that all you can say about a death of a fellow human? I am glad its an amusement for you because you will do well when one of your loved one passess away. You will be able to watch all the dramtic effects with all their splendour and of course you will get to enjoy all the namkeen chawal that you want.
They have a funeral director like a marriage planner who directs the services...Meaning, even in death they have certain times when they can cry and when they should not...Where to stand, where to sit, where to go e.t.c....Even their emotions are planned...What kind of burial is that?
I would rather someone just wrapped me up in two plain pieces of cloth and anyone who wants to cry, cry and anyone who doesn't want to, doesn't...Simple...
How can you plan grief? Obviously the church goers can...It's not spontaneous, not natural and definitely not from the heart...
so i went along with him .. i went to this church which was set up REALLY REALLY NICE .. interior construction was so owesom and they had church choir and band and some priest dude dressed up red was playing electric piano ive never seen such piano board before they had projectors across the church walls and 2 big big screens hanging .. a seperate comp room .. it was just sooo owesom .. people came on stage off and on to xpress their feelings and how they met her for the first time .. and personally i think though she was bare strict about my beard but she was the life of school walking on two legs. they had a lil pray .. a few holly songs .. her mem pichaz .. and etc … i always wondered how wud they actually work in church but i got to admit as far this FUNERAL ceremony goes .. ITS 100 times better then how desi families react .. how desi people cry until their lungs get sour … how they hit on their own-self .. how they act wild …
alot of assumption there.
