I found this message and it got me thinking what else but Sosyland:
Informed social observers assert that the 'Punjabification' of TamBrahm weddings is more or less complete.
Mehndi is de rigueur. If your wedding doesn't have Mehndi, you haven't socially arrived!
No Mehndi is complete without the participants shaking their legs to 'kuthu paattus' from across the world. The latest 'Hot N Cold' to the legendary 'choli ke peeche kyaa hai' to the contemporary 'dangaa maari oodhaari', nothing is below par.
Sangeet - professional DJs and 'Wedding Planners' are called in to throw an authentic party. Singing and dancing in front of the janavasam vehicle (or is it the baraat horse?). To the astonishment of onlookers - "Innaabaa idhu ayiroottu kalyaanamaa illa settu kalyaanamaa?"
Cocktail Party - mandatory component amongst the crme de la crme TamBrahms apparently! The choicest of Sauvignons on offer in line with the preferences of the well heeled, globetrotting society women.
Dinner Menu - largely remains vegetarian as yet?! Rumali rotis, chat stalls, dhoklas and methi teplas complete the Pan Indian spread. Hummus and falafels are on too?!
Madisar, kacham, nagaswaram and mangalya dharanam are elements still to be Punjabified?!
Mera Bharat Mahan :-)
