I am obsessed with a merchant community
reputed for their munificence
have another face.
Transactions govern them.
Revenue stands out.
Investing for returns.
Unheard of in Weddings,
where the demand rockets
the grooms wielding power.
What started in thousands
goes beyond millions,
cash and kind soar.
The grooms family
takes pride of
begetting a son.
The counterpart
remains demur
and accept.
Generosity is found in public
Niggardliness looms large in private.
Irony breathes with a sigh.
