The entire family is forced to attend a wedding of a cousin they barely know. The women wear silk saris and gold jewelry (real or fake, no one asks). The men wear starched kurtas. The food is a marathon of 20 dishes. The aunties gossip. “Did you see Sharma ji’s daughter? She’s 30 and not married.” The uncles discuss politics loudly over whisky sodas (hidden in paper bags due to the dry state laws).
