What differentiates Indian weddings from that of the western counterparts is the complexity that’s involved in wrapping up one. It isn’t a walk down the park (or aisle) and exchanging rings in a silent place of worship but a collage of different customs and traditions that comes together in the form of ‘controlled chaos’ where the fun and frolic starts even before the sun gets to work and goes on till the moon hides beyond the horizon. Indian weddings are known for its colours, culture, drama, emotions and of course…. food. But something else that’s inbred in us is the custom of singing and dancing. Right from a person’s birth in the form of  thalaatu  to one’s death in the form of  oppari,  songs have always been a part of our tradition and whenever good or bad happens, there’s always a song that could elevate that mood to a whole new level.

We’ve replaced arduous and laborious work with white collar jobs within cabins and kids these days have opted the playstation controller over cricket bats and football. They end up playing World Cup or Fifa 16 in that playstation which is the biggest irony. Adventure parks are a craze all around the globe, especially in USA and the UK. During my tenure in the UK , I was lucky enough to try Go Ape , which was a wonderful experience. It got me in touch with my inner Tarzan (Trust me, everyone has one). Adventure parks have taken it’s sweet time to reach the shor...
