Lesson from the Russians !!

As i always do while i was reading a book today i saw an interesting peace for us to learn.This advice is very much as how i think but totally in a contrast way that happened in Russia.I always wanted weddings to be simple but many say that it is a great event in everyone's life so wanted to be grand.No contradictions anyways everyone will have their own opinion.

But to be honest i liked this peace because it goes in the same lines as i think.

The amount of money spent sometimes constitutes the entire life's savings of a person.At times people take such huge lones for this celebration that they end up repaying them throughout their life.

People like us are worried about the finest jewelery and saris.

Russia in contradiction ,wedding takes place normally on Saturdays and Sundays.Irrespective of season after signing the register married couple must visit the important national monuments near by.Every boy in the country has to serve in the military for couple of years at least.Regardless of his position he must wear service uniform for the wedding :)

This is mark of gratitude.The newly married couple has to remember they are living in a peaceful,independent Russia because of their ancestor's sacrifices.

But We are busy shopping for saris,buying jewelery and preparing elaborate menus :)
I wished we could learn a lesson from the Russians.

I don't really suggest to do like what Russians do but at least instead of pouring money for such kind of events these can be spent for lighting someones lives which remains even more memorable in your life.Just my thought !! Not asking everyone to do :)


Keep Thinking,
