My mum and dad are in India and then off to Dubai to do some shopping for the wedding, and while searching for a supplier to do the wedding invitations, they discover the root of the Midas Touch Syndrome.
You see the stereotypical Indian has a problem, they obsessed with Gold. Like every event, outfit or piece of jewellery that they touch, turns to Gold.
I think it’s the reason I stay clear of Gold, especially really yellow Gold.
So mum and dad in their plight to find white and silver invites discover that they don’t really have stuff with silver in it.
In fact when requesting silver, they received baffled looks and get told, there is lots of Gold paired with any colour you can imagine! The store owner cannot understand why anyone would not want Gold on their invites.
And so when going back to your roots, you discover that culture doesn’t die, even when you move to Africa.
