00:00Nobody is ever done with eating at an Indian wedding.
00:05Nobody would say I have already eaten.
00:08You are always in the present continuous tense.
00:11I am eating.
00:13Nothing else to do. What can you do in a wedding?
00:16There is no real joy, no real love.
00:18Not even on the stage where the couple is there.
00:20Even they don't really love each other.
00:22You have to fill yourself up with something.
00:25Love fills you up. Joy fills you up.
00:28A general euphoria fills you up.
00:31And if these things are absent,
00:33then you fill yourself up with naan and biryani and kofta and shahi tukla
00:40and all the jazz, the fancy names.
00:44Maybe it will bring me that happiness.
00:46It will bring me that happiness.
00:48See, it connects to the same thing.
00:50But at times, you may dress up because you are just glad.
00:54You are just glad to be.
00:56I exist. I am glad.
00:58For no obvious reason.
00:59So I put on nice clothes.
01:01Sometimes you don't want to put on nice clothes.
01:03Sometimes you don't want to put on any clothes.
01:05So that's one thing.
01:07When putting on jewellery and nice clothes is a substitute for the real inner thing.
01:14Because I don't have the real inner thing,
01:16therefore I am compensating by decking myself up with all the extravaganza.
01:22Similarly with eating.
01:24They would be done.
01:25But the eating was the only thing happening there.
01:27You know.
01:29You know.
01:30When adding clothes is a little off to the side.
01:31You know.
01:32That's absolutely fine.
01:33I'm not going in there.
01:34But I'm not going in there.
01:35And I can't wait for you.
01:36Because I'm not going in there.
01:37When adding clothes, I'll be able to put on my clothes.
01:38I'm not going in there.
01:39I'm not going in there.
01:40I'm going in there.
01:41But I have to do it.
01:42I'm not going in there.
01:43I don't want to put on my other thing.
