It was a conversation that I was overhearing , a conversation between a girl 22-23 years of age and one of her friends Mother- " Aunty, I am getting married and shifting to US. You know its so difficult to carry everything from here , utensils , rashan etc etc". Her voice clearly stating she was proud and boasting about her new found happiness to shift to US! Her Aunt replied- " Yes beta I know it is difficult but you are a lucky girl going to US after marriage and am sure you are happy and I shall wish my daughter to get someone like you have, I am sure she will be happy as you are"!
I could clearly see the Aunty's confused expression thinking- "Girl I never heard you speak in this tone ever- look at you now"-

This conversation upset me and brought me thinking-
When will the Craze to boast about being in a foreign land get out of the minds of society?
Its not about marriage only but also for education, for travel and for business too.Do good wherever you are but why boast?
