The Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant wedding ceremonies have gone on for so long that we바카라™ve no sense of time, no memory of memory. All we바카라™ve instead is questions: When did they start? Where did they happen? When will they end? Will they ever end? In March 2024, when the celebrations in Jamnagar had clogged the social media platforms for weeks, the following events were yet to happen: Lok Sabha elections, T20 World Cup, Arvind Kejriwal바카라™s arrest. More than four months later, Kejriwal has come out of, and gone back into, jail; the Indian team has won the World Cup; the BJP has failed to attain a majority; but the youngest Ambani is still (technically) a bachelor. His wedding ceremonies have lasted longer than the entire duration of Kim Kardashian바카라™s marriage (72 days); they바카라™ve lasted for so long, in fact, that they바카라™ve overwhelmed the media outlets, which publish such head-scratching headlines as, 바카라œKeeping up with the Ambani wedding바카라, 바카라œFrom 바카라˜Roka바카라™ to 바카라˜Gol Dhana바카라™: A timeline of Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant바카라™s relationship바카라, 바카라œOk, so when is the Ambani wedding actually taking place?바카라 And as the royalty celebrates바카라”and celebrates바카라”the pauper plebeians can do nothing but watch and, of course, make memes. One could be from a scene in Masaan (2015), where Vicky Kaushal바카라™s character wails, 바카라œSaala, yeh dukh khatam kaahe nahin hota hai be [Why does this pain never end, damnit]?바카라

Amidst grand celebrations, Outlook revisits its April 1, 2024 issue 'Outrageous, Outlandish, Ostentatious' on how the wedding chasm in widening in India.
