Pt. Vijay Shankar Mehta's column: Pretense, hypocrisy, performance cost the future dearly

Two things are now very much added. The first is religious tourism. There is a lot of crowd at religious places. Due to this, chaos is being seen at that place. Secondly, cases of pre-marriage counselling have increased. People are reaching out to counsellors even before marriage to give advice on how to decide on the girl or the boy we are going to finalize. Now let's put these two things together. If the fashion of destination marriage has come, people are organizing weddings from outside at many religious places. There are traffic jams at that place, misbehaviour by the management in temples. If a survey were conducted of those who had visited a religious place and were asked if they would like to go again, 80% would be disinterested. Because the experience wasn't good. After the grandeur of such a destination marriage, the married life of eighty out of a hundred people becomes tense today. If you think about these two, one thing will come out. Pretense, hypocrisy, performance, no matter where it is, is costly in the future.
