What the simple man said…

A wise man once said to me things that I couldn’t comprehend but this simple villager from Orissa , once said to me….

“A marriage is like fresh paint to a barren wall it gives one’s life a whole new perspective. Once the paint fades out the wall may look shabby but one must not forget the foundation and love it was built with.”

-These picture ‘s were taken on my Yatra/Travel to Berhampur , Orissa . The bride and grooms names are painted on the wall outside the house to depict a wedding celebration therein.

    Weddind is a wonderful bliss and an a complete new perspective we learn being with someone who we never knew before. I think that is the reason many people want to make their wedding a memorable event by celebrating it in the best way possible. Great to know how orrisians celebrate their weddings by writing the names of the bride and groom on their walls.
