Being InSensibly Luxurious

Meaning of the title is broader than this piece of article covers. I am just going to touch one aspect of it. A masala news in a leading NewsPaper was about people paying 10 lakhs to 1 crore to Bollywood actors to just attend their marraige. Paying this hefty sum of money certainly makes a sense if it is for the launch of a product or inaguration of a shop because it buys an instant publicity. But, paying money to publicize one's marriage is an insensible luxury for me. By this, you are not only unnecessarily making them richer but marraige couple also run the unfortunate risk of loosing the centersatge and focus to the so called star. People want to do it because thay want their marriage to get some space in Page 3 at least but the irony is that marriage couple are already overshadowed by the presence of the star. Finally, you paid money to buy a coverage for yourself which indirectly made the star a bit richer and famous. Are not there more sensible ways of making your marriage memorable? You can direclty buy space in Page3 by paying less than this. You can organize a feast for poor children in your locality which makes your marriage more memorable than anything else. You can donate money to a orphanage or some trust. There are limitless more possibilities... use a bit of commonsense before using lot of money...
