Now that love is demonstrated through gifts, friendship is maintained. Relationships have become pale in comparison to the glitter of gifts.
Yes, everything is for sale here. Must be a seller. Selling is also an art. When it is the festive season, the matter of sale becomes something else.
No businessman gives anything from his own pocket, but the intoxication of sale rivals the intoxication of alcohol. Whether the goods are needed or not, shopping has to be done.
Shopping in the name of distributing gifts for nothing. The markets are filled with gifts. Gifts worth Rs 100 to crores are available.
According to one’s pocket, he buys and gifts the same gift, or according to one’s influence, the same gift is given to him as a gift. Nowadays gift giving is also a strategy.
If you have a boss then the quality and price of the gift has to be the best, because if the boss is happy then the sky is below, we are above.
The tradition of giving and receiving gifts on major festivals throughout the year often proves the adage of ‘Ek Panth Do Kaaz’.
Old, unopened packets wrapped in bright and attractive wrappers also get a breathing space because, in the era of sustainable development and recycling, these packets are recycled and sent to other places with respect. Recyclable gifts are a very common category. Or such that their price is nominal.
Poor gifts become like musical chairs. Expensive, precious gifts increase the pride of the owner and such gifts give status in the home and society. Big businessmen give such gifts, or they receive such gifts, which get discussed on the pages of newspapers.
The most popular gift given on Diwali is Sonpapadi, which visits many houses like a watchman. This Sonpapadi revolves around the entire universe and this is the movement of the poor girl:’sometimes on this step and sometimes on that step, it keeps ringing like a ghungroo.’
Today, the pattern of relationships has changed due to market and materialistic consumption trends and ostentatious display of opulence. The value of every relationship is determined and controlled by the gift.
There are many occasions when love is shown through gifts like Birthday Gifts, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Friendship Day Gifts etc.
Now friendship is done through gifts. If there is no gift then life is empty. Relationships have become pale in comparison to the glitter and glamor of gifts.
One gets to read news in newspapers that a young man was caught stealing. The reason is to get a gift for the girlfriend. What’s more, the girlfriend also knows very well that her friend is giving her this gift not with hard-earned money, but with stolen earnings.
Not only this, social values have declined so much that today if parents refuse to give anything to their children, then the children put emotional pressure on them, or do something that puts the family in trouble.
“baap bada na bhaiya, sabase bada upahaar.” Oh! Do you know the value of the gift?
In fact, today, the gift has become a sub-contradiction. Parting with gifts on the pretext of festivals makes the house lighter, and we feel proud of how generous we are in distributing gifts without any prejudice.
Ouch! Even this inflation does not weigh heavily on these gifts.
