Greed and lust are two words that drive few humans crazy, making them probably the most insensitive God's creations. I feel God created them to make the others realize that these are the sample pieces whom we should never consider as our role models, these are the people - a little unfortunate though, who have all the things in life but they command no respect from others, who will never be praised behind their backs, who will never be welcomed as a guest of honour!
I know some acquaintances of mine whom I would not name but would say are the most money centric people on this earth. These people have all the comforts and luxuries of life but still their greed and lust to have more and more does not end. The most saddening part is that they now don't want to do hard work to possess the materialistic things but are looking for some petty pennies in the name of culture and traditions from people around them. Aeww!! what an awful thought this is even to pen it down but I write what I see, what I feel and what I want to convey! Can't help it.
How can they not value the relationships between the people, how can they not appreciate the positive things about the people around them and how could they expect the traditional givers (the girl's parents!!; how cheap this thought is :(, but have been seeing this and listening about this off late) to always keep refilling their wealth reservoirs??
I would like to question the originator and also the followers of this custom that where is all the self respect and dignity that they talk off? Where is the poise to stand tall admist this crap?? I'm sure a day would come when people who expect this nonsense would have everything in life but the true wealth of people and emotions would be far away from them. They would long for companionship in life, but would be surrounded by materialistic things in life.
They would probably want to share their joys and sorrows, but no one would pay heed to them because by then everyone would have realized that the age old era of smearing some vermillion and handing over petty cash in the name of respect would be gone forever and ever. The society would come to know about such culprits who don't know how to respect the girl's parents. The girls today are strong and they can take stand for their values and principles. The married girls of today have an opinion that if they can't be loyal to their parents in their early 25 years of existence, they can never be true to their in-laws as well!
I pray that such people should now dare not talk bad about the girl's parents because the days have changed, the society has moved ahead, and nothing other than the God himself is the driving force of our existence.
I would appeal to all the readers to set right all the people who share this crap thought. I feel that the youth of today should come forward and stop, rather eradicate this sophisticated begging system from the society. The trend setters might get a setback, they might be disowned by their loved ones, but who cares if the next generation reaps the benefits of clean relationships sans the typical 'giving and receiving business veiled as a mark of respect according to several regional cultures'.
People would know you by your work, your character and your nature long after you are gone. The wealth accumulated by sophisticated begging would only get you bad name in the society, it would show how weak you were not to earn respect by your deeds. You rather begged for it in a sophistication and were given, due to undue pressure by the circumstances you created. May God unveil all such people and bring to light what they have done in the past, how they have treated their own family members and how sarcastically they are talked about in the society. With this revelation, may the people who are the sufferers be benefitted.
So, the youth of today has to come forward and take initiatives to curb this practice and everyone should pledge to start from their own families and the social circle they live in. With India now becoming Polio free, may India become free from the evils of disguised dowry also. May the culture and tradition of extending the parents responsibility to all the new additions in the family should stop. People should realize that they have a girl from the other family as their daughter-in-law but not her parents have been married off in their family. The daughter-in-law might think of following you but her parents should not be obliged to do so and yes the idea of extending the concept of daughter according to your own sweet will for your own financial gains should definitely be condemned.
COME ON INDIA, LET'S START THIS DRIVE AND GET THE PEOPLE RESPECT GIRL'S PARENTS. After all this is Mother India who needs strong women who can cut across the boundaries and thoughts of weak, selfish and money centric women who look for only 'shagun' envelopes and treat the piece of paper as a trophy of respect.
