Wedding lights

Ansha Zaman, Dhanmondi, Dhaka
Recently, after the implementation of the energy saving policy by our government, part of one of the streets of Dhanmondi where I live was entirely lit up by wedding decoration lights for two whole days. Well, as long as they paid for consuming so much electricity others are probably not supposed to be bothered about it. However, a marching wedding band beating drums and playing trumpets throughout the day and in the middle of the night in a residential area did raise some eyebrows. The marching band trumpeted past a children's hospital, one o' clock at night. I do understand that it was a special day for the bride and the groom and called for a loud celebration, but a celebration which causes disturbance to neighbours shouldn't be encouraged. I do hope we all learn to keep in mind the importance of concern for others.
