I had to take off my shoes at the gate and had to pay one rupee to get it back.

That's less than 1 penny Canadian.

Yep!

At Guyanese Hindu weddings, when the groom is ready to depart the bride's residence with his bride, his shoes are hidden, and he has to pay big bucks to get them back! Last year my niece-in-law married a white dude, and my prankster sis-in-law played this trick on the groom. It was hilarious.

Here is a song for that occasion.

Joote ( Shoes) Paise (money) Le lo ( Please give)

Good dancing, Mits! The song was comedic!

Costco store in Santa Cruz, California playing Bollywood Punjabi song, probably to boost the mood of the customers and increase their sales!

Does (Mary Millen) nothing to or for me, Mits! Maybe because I love Rodgers & Hart, the Gershwins, Kern, Hammerstein with a bit of Porter and Berlin thrown in, all American culture! Which is the most beautiful Indian song you've ever heard? I'd like to hear it! Once an Indian convenience store owner was surprised and pleased  at.my.whistling a song from.the movie "Sangam"! Dost e dost whatever! I never learned the language!

Good but still ordinary! Try the one I mentioned from Sangam, if you can let me hear it again! I wish I knew how to upload the ones i loved, especially the one by Asha that made me cry though I didn't know her language! Probably struck.a sympathehic nerve in my brain! Once, in a local bar in.Georgetown, an.Indo became annoyed with.me because I had played a song ny.Asha'sister, Lata, too many times in his opinion! So, I played it some more to annoy him some.more! I just didn't.give a sh*t because I was destroying myself for losing something that was beyond estimation!! Sex, drink, fighting, anything distracting!

@Former Member, This an evergreen by Asha Boshle. Sorry for dem babes whose name was Monica. And this song was done 50 years ago.

Sachal with their version of the famous Take Five.

@mud_flap, I admire the dexterity of the Tablaji also the Guitarist. All the musicians did well and they are from Pakistan.
