Dear Sir,
I would like to draw your attention and through you of your valued readers about the colossal wastage of food that takes place in lavish Indian Weddings.
In a country where people die of starvation, the rich in our cities and towns splurge on a massive scale for Weddings. Instead of focusing on the happy event of tying the nuptial knot of their children, parents are busy flaunting their wealth. This kind of exhibitionism ought to stop and people must learn to check wastage.
I appeal to your readers requesting them to lower their wedding budget. It would be a great gesture to give away to charities a part of the fund especially allocated for food. This would go a long way in feeding the hungry and providing care to the sick and unsheltered. It is imperative that every family takes a rational approach towards weddings making them more meaningful.
Yours Sincerely

Subject: Colossal wastage of food in the lavish Indian weddings.
Sir/Madam,
We all talk of changing our country for betterment but how little do we do in this regard. Out of so many things that go unnoticed in our dear country, here is one issue that I wish to chalk out. it is strange how Indians spend life’s savings at their weddings.
The wedding market in India is flourishing, with approximately I.50, 000 crores per year. The shocking pan is that all this wastage is happening when our own country. India. is a host of the biggest armies of starving people in the world. Such wastage should be censured and people should be educated against wastage of food in such a manner. In social functions and gatherings, guests should not squander food by piling up their plates excessively. The size of the servings should be limited according to the appetite. Besides, the hosts should also he responded by giving the caterers the exact number of guests to arrive so that the food is cooked accordingly and there is no wastage.
I cannot help but point out as to how people do not even bother to use ‘R.S.V.P.’. Which means “please respond”, a French phrase, to confirm their visit on being invited? Thus, the host, not sure of the number of guests to arrive, prepares food in abundance leading to inevitable wastage. Indian marriages are not just famous for their traditions and customs but also because of their grand fiestas. I hope that the new generation understands the gravity of the situation and abandons old fashions and deals with such issues practically.
Thanking you
Yours sincerely,
