During a recent sojourn in the south of India we noticed an interesting trend where newly married/to be married couples were advertising themselves on billboards outside the marriage hall and sometimes on the main streets of smaller towns. Here is an example of this fine art from the streets of Pondicherry. Notice the strategically placed MBA and MBBS after the names. May heavens choicest blessings be showered on the newly married couple...
Oh, that's only because important politicians (incl. a Union Minister, Chief Minister, MLAs etc) are attending the wedding! (Written in Tamil on the billboard)
