Dancing at a Wedding

I feel the need to explain myself here that my mahandi was rather conservative. Women out numbered the segregated men by 4-1 and it were obvious that men were there as drivers and as the clean up crew. I felt uncomfortable because I was center stage in front of these women of whom I only knew 10% personally and another 10% as acquaintance and the rest were all those whom I would otherwise be forbidden to look at because of all their burqas and stuff. On top of that they were singing mean songs about me and I am sure I was being evaluated on every move I made. Just to make matters worse they started placing mahandi on my hand (actually on the tissue on my hand) & started giving me Salami of odd digits. It was just a bizarre experience, which I am sure was one of the best moments for my wife. I am from Mars and I am proud of it!

hahaha, I love the mean songs.

There is this one that goes something like, larka tumhara kunwara rehjaatha … hahaha, I’m gonna sing that for my BIL.

I attended a wedding in Pakistan, in November, where some girls from the brides side, had choreographed a few dances. While they were dancing, one girls mother took some money out of her purse and then started rotating it around her dancing girl's head, to utaar nazar, and gave it to the dhol walay. Then a mamoo or chacha of another dancing girl did the same and utar her neice's nazar, then a young man stood up from the guests and started throwing money on the girl, mujra style. The whole family were like qurbaan jaooN, bano kitna acha naachti hae (her name was not bano) and I could tell from their eyes that they were gowing qurban on bano. I felt so disgusted at the beghairti that I walked outside for a smoke. What kind of celebration was that? More than half of the crowd was not close family relatives. Oh and I cant quote the comments of the young group of boys without offending a few members on this site.

While, I have never been in a wedding/mehndi function that stooped to the level of people actually offering "vails" to the girls who are dancing, I do agree that many times the whole choreographed dance routine as well as the mixed crowd can make it very embarrassing for the guests (some guests, at least). I think the efforts to make it as close to a professional routine have taken the element of spontaneity and fun and good-humored teasing of the other party, out of these functions. And is replaced by more and more vulgarity.

Lollypop i’ll ask her if shewould be interested in lessons for a chiseled beast like you or if you can just watch. Isn;t that what u wanted
