If one judged the desires of Indians by their advertising, one would have to conclude that they are a people obsessed with insanely over the top jewelry, silk saris and weddings. Multi-story billboards show the same four or five models, most looking very western, bedecked in gold and diamonds that would cause the Queen to blush.
The wedding industry here seems to be immensely important. At breakfast this morning we saw a family (our Indian brothers and sisters travel in family packs) with four beautiful young daughters. Poor Bastard, we said to ourselves.
At this moment, there is just such an extravaganza below our windows.
