Sample Negotiations

Was a rather entertaining day today. Got to meet my almost bhabhi's mom. And watch my mom and her discuss the intricacies of the economics that govern a wedding. No dowry, please. We're a very modern family. All we ask is that the bride and groom be of the same sub-caste.

Damn! I didn't even know there were all these parts to a wedding ceremony!

Anyway, the bottomline is I might grow richer by 10k cash and lots of designer clothes (obviously designer, baba, my bro and bhabi are nri's after all :P).

You know what my mom figured out at the end of it all? That she needs to top this at my wedding... Seriously, sometimes I think all ceremonies should be banned and replaced with a couple of signatures taken under the supervision of a magistrate.

Another day, some more learning...
