I can't understand people that are embarrassed (or at least think it is cool and so pretend to be embarrassed) by tradition! I have a girl friend of mine complaining about how looong her Indian marriage was. It sounded something like...' you know how long the Indian marriages are right? You have to sit there hungry half the day and the priest keeps chanting something...blah blah..' .
Get a life folks....hopefully you have only one marriage ...enjoy everything and ask the priest to explain what he is chanting .I did it for mine...and loved the reasoning behind every ritual.
Complaining about traditions is soo not cool. You either find out why they do things they do, or just don't waste your time sitting through it . Just don't complain and think it sounds cool...
bah...just letting off steam!

Each ritual has a meaning and often brings discipline into our lives.It is just so easy to find fault.
Hi hip grandma :) - I can't agree with you more...
my, you stole the words out of my thoughts! i feel the same way about chanting sanskrit (or Shiva Pathigam) slokas - i find out the meaning so I can chant it with sincerity, knowing what I am saying...else why bother saying it.
exactly...it makes it all the more easy to learn and interesting..
