Kommina Sivanand, Just 'An Indian'

Irony in India is..

Cost of a highly educated IAS couple marriage is Rs 500/-

Where as..

Cost of an illegal mining baron's daughter's marriage is Rs 500 crore.

Rs 500 marraige:

印度的讽刺在于…

受过高等教育的航空科学学院夫妇结婚，只花了500卢比

而...

一位非法采矿大亨的女儿的婚姻花费了5亿卢比。

500卢比的婚礼:

Ashish Vashishta and Saloni Sidana had cleared the IAS in 2013. They came closer during their training at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie.

Due to demonetisation, while many are complaining on govt, the couple has set an excellent example by getting married for just Rs 500.

The Rs 500 they spent on the wedding was their fee to the ADM court in Bhind, Madhya Pradesh. MP cadre IAS officer Ashish Vashishta is presently posted as the SDM in Gohad and Saloni as SDM in Vijayawada. Ashish is from Rajasthan, Saloni is from Punjab.

Ashish Vashishta和Saloni Sidana在2013年就进入了航空科学学院。他们在穆索里的拉尔·巴哈杜尔·沙斯塔里国家研究院的训练中走到了一起。

由于废钞令，尽管许多人都在抱怨政府，但这对夫妇却以500卢比的开销举办了婚礼，树立了一个好榜样。

他们花在婚礼上的500卢比是他们向中央邦Bhind行政法院支付的费用。中央邦的航空科学学院官员Ashish Vashishta目前被任命为戈哈德的SDM，Saloni被任命为Vijayawada的SDM。Ashish来自拉贾斯坦邦，Saloni来自旁遮普。

500 crore marriage:

Janardhan Reddy's Daughter's marraige.

The demonetisation couldn't make any effect on the marraige. It was one of the costliest so far.. Even income tax officials had raided his house to check his expenses.

50亿的婚姻:

加纳尔丹·雷迪的女儿结婚了。

废钞令对这场婚礼没有任何影响。这是迄今为止最昂贵奢靡的婚礼。就连税务官员也突击搜查了他的房子，检查他的开支。

Recently I visited Ganpati Temple with my friend on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi. It begins with huge celebrations and Puja.

As we entered the temple, there were small kids, probably in the age group of 6 to 10 years who were wearing orange clothes and tilak on their forehead and were reciting some scriptures about Lord Ganesha.

My friend who was with his wife said to her “ There is a such a non-sense going on in India. Parents don’t even have the slightest understanding about their kids, they just decorate them in the orange dress with tilak and make them say things they don’t even understand”

“This is the reason our society is so backward compared to the developed countries” added that progressive Indian.

最近，我和我的朋友参观了象头神庙。以盛大的庆祝活动和祈祷开始。

当我们进入圣殿的时候，有一些小孩，年龄大概在6到10岁，他们穿着橙色的衣服，额头上点着红点，正在背诵一些关于伽内什领主的经文。

我朋友对跟在一边的妻子说:“印度这是在做毫无意义的事情。父母对自己的孩子一点都不了解，他们只是给孩子穿上橙色的衣服，点上红点，让他们说一些他们根本听不懂的话”

这位印度进步分子还说:“这就是为什么我们的社会与发达国家相比落后如此之多的原因。”

I was quietly listening and watching as everything happens but I didn’t say a word. After all, I came along with him in his car and had no intention to walk to my home.

We took blessings of Lord Ganesha and went back to the car. As we hit the highway, my friend closed the car windows, turned on the AC and was about to switch on the Radio when his five-year-old kid started demanding “ Papa! Papa! Vo chikni chameli wala song lagao na”

“ Dad! Dad! Please play that Chikni Chameli Song” - An item song from Bollywood

我静静地听着，看着发生的一切，但我一句话也没说。毕竟，我是和他一起坐他的车来的，根本不想步行回家。

我们得到了象头神的祝福，回到了车里。当我们驶上高速公路时，我的朋友关上车窗，打开空调，正要打开收音机时，他5岁的孩子开始喊“爸爸!爸爸!请放那首Chikni Chameli的歌”——宝莱坞的歌曲

He started crying till my friend didn’t connect his mobile phone and started playing the song.

It didn’t take long for the kid to catch his breathe once the song started playing and he started singing along. At times he was singing ahead while also dancing to the steps.

I was going to ask the kid and his father whether the kid knows the meaning and intention behind this song. But I kept quiet. ( I wanted to reach home safely)

然后就开始哭，直到我的朋友开始播放这首歌。

歌曲一开始播放，这孩子就缓过气来，开始唱歌，有时还一边唱一边跟着起舞。

我想问孩子和他的父亲，孩子是否明白这首歌背后的含义和意图。但我保持沉默。(我想要安全地回到家)

But on my way back home, I learned that the 5-year-old knew more items songs than I did and when I reached my place I had only one question in my mind. If we all have to make our kids learn something or the another which they may or may not understand, then what is better. The Vedas or the teachings of our ancestors which may not now but eventually train our kid’s subconscious minds.

We think Westernization is modernization. We blame and criticize people for their choices while we ourselves are nowhere near making all the right choices.

We criticize and demean people for having things we don’t have.

What do you think? Isn’t this behavior of ours ironic? What should we do about this irony?

但在我回家的路上，我知道5岁的男孩知道的歌比我更多，当我下车时，我脑子里只有一个问题。如果我们必须让我们的孩子学习他们可能理解或不理解的东西，那么什么才是更好的。吠陀经或我们祖先的教诲，也许他们现在不理解，但最终进入孩子的潜意识中。

我们认为西方化就是现代化。我们指责和批评别人的选择，而我们自己也并没有做出正确的选择。

我们批评和贬低那些拥有我们不曾拥有的东西的人。

你觉得呢?我们的这种行为难道不具有讽刺意味吗?对于这种讽刺，我们应该做些什么呢?
