# No-one can be at your wedding

# With a bad taste in their mouth

# So we will supply the ras malai

# The guests won't leave without

Look at that.

Come on.

Hurry up.

Ha!

# Fancy pearls and precious stones

imported from far and wide

# We melt and mould

and set for our 24-carat bride

# Cut, colour, clarity,

the best you've ever seen

# Only the Kohinoor is better,

but you'll have to ask the Queen

# A marriage has come to town

# Laughter, colour, light and sound

# Life is great, let's celebrate

# The sacred union two souls have found

# Life and all its intricacies

# We'll paint on your hands and feet

# The colour of mud shows the heat in the blood

# Henna is the earth and all her fertility

# We'll darken your lifeline, to deepen with time

# Adding soul to the magic that is to be

# Your life and all its intricacies

# Who can tell you more about Yin and Yang?

# Sharing one spirit between woman and man

# Marriage is the path taken by he and she

# May your new life be kissed by harmony

(Speaks Punjabi)

# lt seems they had nothing

in their lives before today

# And why are they so happy

to give a daughter away?

# You've got what you always wanted

and for that l am glad

# But just take a look around you,

the city has gone mad

# Can't wait for the day,

can't keep our shoulders down

# God bless you for getting

this marriage into town

# A marriage has come to town

# Laughter, colour, light and sound

# Life is great, let's celebrate

# The sacred union two souls have found

# A marriage has come to town

# Laughter, colour, light and sound

# A marriage has come to town

# Laughter, colour, light and sound

(Cheering)

(Hindu wedding ceremony)

Hi, hi.

They look sizzling, yeah?

Jaya should grab him right away.

Seduce him before he leaves,

give him a little taste

so he comes begging back for more.

What makes you such an expert, huh?

l know enough to know

that if that damn cute Darcy was looking at me

the way he is looking at you now,

l wouldn't ignore him.

LALlTA:
You're nuts, Chandra.

Oh, God, is he coming now?

- Lalita.

- Huh?

Marry him.

Divorce him right away.

Then give me half.

(Both laugh)

Someone's having some fun up here.

- lt's not my tie, is it?

- No, we were just joking...

- (Sneezes) Excuse me.

- Someone's thinking of you.

l'm off to get a Coke. Bye.

- What'd she say?

- Oh, it's just an old saying.

We say whenever you sneeze,

it means someone's thinking of you.

lt's probably my lawyer.

Can't get any work done in the hotel l'm in.

- Which hotel's that?

- lt's the DN lnternational.

That's the best hotel in town.

Oh.

Their computer system keeps crashing,

Jane Austen

Jane Austen (; 16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism and social commentary, have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars. With the publications of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818, and began another, eventually titled Sanditon, but died before its completion. She also left behind three volumes of juvenile writings in manuscript and another unfinished novel, The Watsons. Her six full-length novels have rarely been out of print, although they were published anonymously and brought her moderate success and little fame during her lifetime. A significant transition in her posthumous reputation occurred in 1833, when her novels were republished in Richard Bentley's Standard Novels series, illustrated by Ferdinand Pickering, and sold as a set. They gradually gained wider acclaim and popular readership. In 1869, fifty-two years after her death, her nephew's publication of A Memoir of Jane Austen introduced a compelling version of her writing career and supposedly uneventful life to an eager audience. Austen has inspired a large number of critical essays and literary anthologies. Her novels have inspired many films, from 1940's Pride and Prejudice to more recent productions like Sense and Sensibility (1995) and Love & Friendship (2016). more…
