The cognitive revolution through which human beings turned into homo sapiens, and learned to live as a social cluster, is reversing. The disappearance of the joint family, work engagements, unbearable traffic system, etc have expanded the physical distance within social clusters.

The endless photographic sessions between the invitees and bride and groom outweigh other social needs. Mourning has become a thing of the past in this digital age.
