While the residents of the national capital are literally choking/asphyxiating to death and doom following an abrupt spurt in the alarming and life threatening pollution levels; these 250 odd wannabe Surat (Gujarat) based grooms are setting a noteworthy trend for others to follow.......
Yes believe your eyes for a change as you did indeed read it right; these wannabe grooms and their respective relatives; brides; family members; friends and hangers on will all arrive in regal style and panache atop or then aboard ubiquitous and nondescript bicycles in their sterling effort to educate and enlighten fellow Surat residents on the deathly threat posed by burgeoning pollution levels in their beloved city and their immediate surroundings.......
An annual community initiative pioneered by the Saurashtra Patel Seva Samaj; the 58th such annual event wholely and solely dedicated to weeding out the omnipotent evil of corruption will be organised on November 7 at a celebrated and much sought after venue in the "Diamond City" and the nuptials of 258 brides and grooms will be solemnised under one roof as an integral part of this one of it's kind community initiative......
Signalling a welcome break from traditional Gujarati customs; traditions; social mores and practices; these 258 enterprising grooms and their baraatis will all arrive on cycles expressly hired/purchased for the emulatory purpose rather than the much touted and stereotyped cavalcade of motor cars and buses........
These inspiring and kindred souls thereby hope to create awareness about and spread the message about the perils/dangers of burgeoning pollution levels in their native city and thereby urge fellow city dwellers to step up to the plate and do their bit about significantly reducing or then arresting the wannabe smart city's perilously increasing carbon footprint........
One amongst the 258 odd couples couples namely Nita and Harkishan whose names were drawn out out of a pool by the honourable mayor of the city will be accorded pride of place and be bestowed with the unique and sagely honour of leading the massive procession........
Here's hoping and praying that such welcome and environment friendly community initiatives become the order of the day in every nook and cranny of our glorious and ancient motherland who is literally choking with every inhalation.......
