A death in the Gunj - Releasing 2nd June 2017

A Unique Wedding in McCluskiegunj

On the first day of April I was invited to a wedding in the basti here. I usually avoid attending wedding ceremonies and parties but just not to hurt the feelings of the basti residents, I went along with my brother-in-law who was also invited.

The site was beautifully decorated and well arranged. It was a Muslim wedding. The food was just as good as the decorations and what really struck my attention was the absence of music which made it a unique wedding.

Usually, all weddings have loud music throughout the night and at times are disturbing too. I asked why there wasn’t any music playing and was told that it was the special request of the groom. Great!
