Disclaimer: Before you go ahead and read this, just keep in mind that these are general observations and do not necessarily apply to you, incase you are a marwari. However then, incase you are not, these may still apply to you. Also, I am glad I am not a maratha manoos, or whatever those people would like to call themselves, because then I would have sinned if I dared to write this post on the followers of some Mr.Thackeray. However, they are good people with good intentions. Aren't they? Got the idea from The Telegraph's article on '50 reasons not to marry a Bengali guy.' It was outright hilarious. So here it is: My take on it. The Marwari version though. Also I think 20 is a good number. I better not overdo it just for the sake of it. It might be harmful, you know. And I have no intentions to hurt any section of the society to which I belong. So please, just accept it and have a good laugh at yourselves, because you are flawed. And unique.
Also, somehow the term Marwari is synonymous with money. Atleast thats what people think they are all about. They think that they are a set of people who see money in everything they do, in everything they eat, or in everything they talk about. Also, if you think they are miserly people, they are not. They will flaunt and do charity and fight over the restaurant bill. However at times, they do feel cringy and do not want to spend much, but then thats about it.
1.I wouldn’t disagree! It is indeed about money. And even more about profits.
2.They are unhealthy people. They will eat all the wrong kinds of food, till they have to call the doctor. But then, after a couple of months, the craving will be back. They simply can't do without their fries and samosas and bhujia. The modern lot has taken to the new age fast food. But then, thats the only thing that is different.
3. They are lazy people too. The only thing they are quick at is to pick up the telephone when it rings.
4. They have no clue about literature. They don't care.
5. Flirting in public is a strict no-no. This trend has been changing due to the influence of other societies, though.
6. If he is not a movie freak, be rest assured that he is going only for the popcorn and the coke.
7. They will despise the Bengalis for all the adda sessions that they have. But then, they can't do without gossip either.
8. For them, the office starts at 7am in the morning and goes on till 10pm. I meant the telephone calls.
9. In a marwari wedding, all that the family cares about is taking care of the huge guestlist and if the food is okay. The couple is secondary.
10. The food should be perfect. Everywhere.
11. When it comes to handling any work related issue, there is a way out for everything. Nothing is ever impossible. If you know what i mean.
12. If they go for shopping, they will rip themselves off. They do not understand the concept of retail. They buy wholesale. They buy the best stuff only. And somehow get them cheap too! [Okay, i just realized this is one reason why you would probably want to marry one of them!] Also, they love to piss off the shopkeeper. They bargain till the guy drops his price to half and then they love to walk out.
13. Most of them secretly love their traditional food and everything related to tradition. It's just that they'd like to be more modern.
14. They've played almost everything. Cricket in the neighbourhood. Tennis. Golf. Football too. None of them professionally.
15. They use the choicest slangs while driving. (But somehow, you'd never get to hear them.) This is not something exclusive to them only. It's out and out Indian.
16. They carry briefcases to work which might contain nothing. Nowadays that has been replaced with laptop bags though. So can't say that anymore.
17. The men only like jewellery because it's an investment. He doesn't care if it looks good on you or not.
18. Say anything against them and the entire community will stand up against you and fight you down. Until you quit.
19. The change in the stock indices could lead to heart attacks in most of the specimens.
20. They discuss politics all the time. Just to argue.
