Re: is it normal to be stingy with rasam money
Rasams should be about having fun, not about trying to get rich overnight or ripping someone off.
Who cares if she got 3000 rupees- it's not like that is the first and last time she will ever get her hands on money. I don't see what marrying into or outside your family has anything to do with this- different people have different thinking and traditions. I personally have told my sister and my husband that there's no need to go overboard with rasams such as for joota chupai, etc. One, I know expenses at wedding time are through the roof and it's not fair for anyone to complain that oh you just gave us this much even though you are so rich.. two, it's not like my sister NEEDS that money and three, I know she wants to have fun at the rasams and does not care about the money part. Honestly, when people complain about getting so little money for rasams even after the wedding is done and over with, it makes them appear so desperate and immature.. jaisey kabhi paisa dekha hi na ho.. seriously, have some class.
People need to get over this weird desi mindset of judging everyone by their spending habits. Not everything needs to be measured and analyzed to death, especially something like rasams. Try to look past it.
