v r the lawyers 4 this divorce...!!!

Its about the relationship between a man(client) and his wife(TG). They've agreed to meet in a restaurant. The man's feeling perfectly happy, until the woman makes a painful announcement: she wants a divorce. In the course of their conversation she makes it clear to him why she is leaving him. And he makes it very clear that he doesn't have an empathic bone in his body. At the end of the movie the woman walks away disappointed but determined. The man stays behind alone.

My uncle's son's wife's brothers's brother in law's son's BIG fat Indian Wedding.....:P

The topic may sound cheeeeeesy... but trust me, the images below are real goood insights to what happens in a typical "Hamare yahan di shaadi"...Hats off to the HT team for this....

njoyyyy












Theres a Akhbar Birbal story. Its said that Birbal's daughter's wedding was on the cards. Due to which Birbal was tensed...
Akhbar asked: " Whats the issue Birbal? Why u sooo tensed???"
Birbal: "Jahanpanah, you dont know abour marwari weddings. Its like how much ever you do, you will always receive critisisms!!!"
Akhbar: "Birbal, dont worry... Let me do the arrangements my way. I can guarantee you that there wont b any complains!!!"
Birbal: "Pls Jahanpanah, dont take this as a challenge. Trust me its impossible."
Akhbar refused to budge down.
The wedding was one of the most grand anyone could have ever seen... Best of the cuisines, musicians, performers.
He imported special Persian vases in which were filled with sweets 24 X 7, the guests were well escorted with luxurious pomp & style.
But, while leaving 2 female relatives of the groom were talking to each other which Akhbar over heard.
Those 2: "Dont know why the king was sooo stingy on the sweets. He has deliberately kept those sweets in the vases so that one cant take hand full of it.... huh!!!"
Akhbar was stunned by that remark. After that when he disclosed this to Birbal; Birbal smiled n said.
Birbal: "Didn't I say Jahanpanah its impossible to make the groom's big family happy...!!!"
Akhbar: "I agree!!!"
Well the moral of the story is not that Marwari wedding is some impossible task. But across India what we Indians are good at is finding faults, criticising & showing other people down... Its jus our attitude or rather our way of living...:)
