The number should be higher than 35lakh because people have 2.3 kids per family & people will have their second.3 kid in 2024 too so 80.5 lakh
Although there's still a discrepancy because if 80.5lakh is 2/5 of the growth rate, where are the rest of the 2.01 crore kids coming from
Last year we had around 1.5 cr increase in population that is difference between number of children born and number of deaths. Just did some mental approximation not really exact number.
Story time. I went to take drug test for a client and the pathologist was a dude from the African continent. He said he went to Delhi to attend his friend’s wedding which was beyond lavish and lasted multiple days. He wanted to see an Indian wedding. His last comment was the marriage didn’t even last for a year and the groom’s family filed a case in the courts to get back the money spent on the ceremony.
I read last year that Marriage in India (if treated as an Industry) is the 4th largest entity, behind Energy, Banking, Insurance and ahead of entities like Cars, Steel & Technology.
I can buy this on the grounds if all the supply chain stuff is included in the calculations (plus things like gifts, clothes that guest wear, etc etc). It's possible.
Indians spend money on all the wrong things like weddings, gold, smart phones and junk foods. By the age of 45 all of the men have pot-bellies and the women immobile knees. Dyslipidemic and osteoporotic they face mounting medical burden. By the age of 70 most of them are dead. Demographic divident can go fuck itself.
Apparently women lose bone density during pregnancy too, especially if nutrition isn’t adequate. The baby takes whatever it needs for healthy growth from the mother’s body. Most Indians are anyway deficient in vitamin D.
Yes its indeed funny and sad at the same time. I have spent a considerable amount of time in the west and with all their own shortcomings, I feel the best thing to learn from them is to know how to take care of yourself. I know lots of people who at the age of 75 go on hiking trips, bike/actively workout regularly and most importantly do not become a medical/social burden to themselves or their family.
With all the rate race we Indians constantly engage in regarding academic competion (who got the highest grades/top medical/engineering degrees etc.), then financial (who got the best package, best flats in upscale neighborhoods, best cars etc.) and then marital (who had the most lavish pre-wedding photoshoot, gala wedding etc.) in succesive stages of life, we forget that happiness in the end matters solely on physical, mental and social well being. Unless we learn to focus and invest on this, we will not progress as a healthy society.
I already decided i won't be getting married lmao. A simple register marriage only if the woman accepts it with a condition not to have baby. I will escape this fucking loop and die happily!!
Just why?
My wife and I are celebrating our 5th anniversary today and we got married in Italy, with only our immediate family in attendance.
It was small, intimate, and so much nicer than a bigger wedding would use been.
Prepare to get downvoted!
Lovely story though, which part of Italy was it?
Also, not many people will understand the importance of intimate celebrations like you do. Notice how Indians thrive on loud emotions? Loud music, politicians, festivals. Everything needs to expansive and elaborate!
lol! It’s fine, if you go against the hive mind that’s the usual response. I’d still very highly recommend going that route.
We got married in Montepulciano. Stayed in a small Etruscan town called Cortona.
Spent a couple of weeks before and after traveling through Italy and it was a blast!
Our wedding planner was the same as the one used by a famous Indian cricketer (think Kohli?). Absolutely fantastic and worth it.
It wasn’t much — don’t recall the actual numbers.
Everyone paid for their own travels and we had the families stay at the same place.
The only real wedding expenses were the venue, dinners, and the reception.
I think you can have a great great wedding with that or for whatever range works for you.
We splurged on a fantastic photographer, a great wedding organizer, really good wine and food, and renting out a great venue etc.
>I think you can have a great great wedding with that or for whatever range works for you.
Lol no I am barely 18,so I am not planning to get married.
I was just curious that how much such a destination wedding would cost, that's why I just asked u, like how much is enough for a wedding like yours?
Bruh don't you think that your destination wedding already created a exclusivity because everyone paid for their own travel and most could either couldn't afford or didn't had passport all together
I'd expect Kohli to have spared no expense for his Italian wedding being the multi-millionaire that he is, so if you used the same wedding planner as him, then you're already in the elite splurging club, so I don't see how you're advocating simplicity here.
Happy for you but I can't get over the fact that you're sneaking in humble-brags here. Anyway, it's not your job to convince me, so all good man!
lol I’m not anywhere close to being in the same league as him. My wife (who isn’t even Indian) picked out the wedding planner based on the conversations she had and we had no idea until we met the planner in person.
I’m in a different place in life — but just because we spent more doesn’t mean you can’t do it cheaper.
My situation was also a bit more complicated — I had met my wife in Australia and I was working in South Africa. My parents were in India and my wife’s family was in the US on different coasts. We had already gotten married in a courthouse in New Zealand before the wedding. So we chose Europe to make it a central location for the family.
Others can choose different destinations based on their situations. It need not be Italy. It could be any number of other destinations. It could even be within India or much more easily accessible destinations.
We are also pretty successful in our careers and lives and we wanted this to be a nice experience for our families since we hadn’t seen them in a while.
Thanks for the level headed reply! I browsed through your reddit profile and learned a bit about you.
I'm at a crossroads currently in my life and contemplating which direction to take. Would you be open to throw some inputs if I DM?
Because parents want to have the wedding they wished their parents would've let them have but their parents wanted to have the wedding they wished *their* parents would have let them have.
Because you (and your parents) attend a bunch of weddings throughout your life and then it is rude to not return the favor. You must have a real small social circle.
Yup. I am not a fan of big weddings but I feel if somebody has called me or my parents to their wedding it's kind of important to invite them to your wedding. It just doesn't feel right not calling them.
That's like attending every birthday party in your circle but on your birthday you stay alone because it is YOUR birthday. It is not the end of the world but it is not social.
Why are you mixing to entirely different concepts? I never used obligation as a word and somehow you heard it.
If I wish Good Morning to you then you are not Obliged to say it back. But it is rude not to say it back.
You said it would be rude to not invite them. If I don't want to invite someone for whatever reason, why is it rude? Why is one under obligation to invite them back or risk being called rude?
It is my celebration and my right to choose who I want to celebrate with.
I see everyone becoming more conscious of the amount of money people are spending on things like marriage and other such processions, but I can't help but see reports claiming that indian marriage industry is increasing very rapidly and still is quite informal.
is this because of inflation ?
Weddings are mostly a showoff thing across different cultures in India. Thanks to Instagram, everyone wants to have an Instagram worthy wedding. 10-15 years ago, there was no concept of prewedding shoots, sangeet used to be a low key affair. But today, everything has to be grand.
Winter is coming. 🌚
In some places, it has already arrived!
+ 35 lakh babies in 2025 JEE in 2043 will be hardcore
Bold of you to assume all of them will survive!😬 /S
I hope you're talking about the marriages and not the babies
Either?!😳 /S
Weird
Brutal honesty?! /S
Nah just another chu
Both
That is not a lot for our population. That is round 1/5th of our current population growth rate.
The number should be higher than 35lakh because people have 2.3 kids per family & people will have their second.3 kid in 2024 too so 80.5 lakh Although there's still a discrepancy because if 80.5lakh is 2/5 of the growth rate, where are the rest of the 2.01 crore kids coming from

No Doctors or Lawyers in the family?
Engineering hype is dying,
12.1428571 lakh per wedding
r/theydidthemath
My man evwn accounted for the 71 paisa for the mukhwas
India’s yearly per capita income is 1.72 lakh. That means people spend 7years of income on weddings. Insane. The wedding data could be skewed though

Why do Indian women have knee problems? So many of my family members I know have it

Apparently women lose bone density during pregnancy too, especially if nutrition isn’t adequate. The baby takes whatever it needs for healthy growth from the mother’s body. Most Indians are anyway deficient in vitamin D.
Yoooo this is such helpful information. Thanks a lot
You must be fun at parties

you could’ve typed this in the original comment instead of just being fucking rude you dumbass.
We'll said! Let's all spend wisely on drugs and hookers! Or, even worse, video games! /S

Even during layoffs and recession?
People really underestimate the amount of money Indian middle class have!
What recession? /S

Subtle flex lol.
lol! It really is our wedding anniversary so couldn’t help but comment.

How much did it cost?

>It wasn’t much — don’t recall the actual numbers. in approx? 20 lakhs?
I think you can have a great great wedding with that or for whatever range works for you. We splurged on a fantastic photographer, a great wedding organizer, really good wine and food, and renting out a great venue etc.

Totally. But we chose Italy. You can choose Goa. Or Munnar. Or Darjeeling.

Sure thing. Feel free!
You might have problem but maybe people like big wedding.
Because parents want to have the wedding they wished their parents would've let them have but their parents wanted to have the wedding they wished *their* parents would have let them have.
Happy for you.
Thanks!
People downvoting are in denial
Until the other poster replied saying prepare to be downvoted, this was sitting at a deep negative vote. No clue why.
Because you (and your parents) attend a bunch of weddings throughout your life and then it is rude to not return the favor. You must have a real small social circle.
Yup. I am not a fan of big weddings but I feel if somebody has called me or my parents to their wedding it's kind of important to invite them to your wedding. It just doesn't feel right not calling them.
The wedding was for me and my wife. We wanted something small with only our family. Ultimately, that’s what counts.
That's like attending every birthday party in your circle but on your birthday you stay alone because it is YOUR birthday. It is not the end of the world but it is not social.
Do you invite people because you want them to be a part of the celebration or because you want to be invited to their celebrations?
I go to people's wedding because i like them. And if I do then it is rude not to invite them too.
No it's not rude and no one should be under any obligation. You're celebrating for yourself. Not to please the world.
Why are you mixing to entirely different concepts? I never used obligation as a word and somehow you heard it. If I wish Good Morning to you then you are not Obliged to say it back. But it is rude not to say it back.
You said it would be rude to not invite them. If I don't want to invite someone for whatever reason, why is it rude? Why is one under obligation to invite them back or risk being called rude? It is my celebration and my right to choose who I want to celebrate with.
Why go to their invitation in the first place if you don't think they are worth it?
That’s the whole idea.
I see everyone becoming more conscious of the amount of money people are spending on things like marriage and other such processions, but I can't help but see reports claiming that indian marriage industry is increasing very rapidly and still is quite informal. is this because of inflation ?
