Old English ladies should not show their bare legs in short skirts.

The #Royalwedding is no match for our desi weddings. Our bling alone can outshine their glitz http://bit.ly/m9MLQs

It is sooooo low key. No wonder the poor couple want it over with from the looks of it

Looking at this one wishes our Mughal architecture was as beautifully preserved, instead of being in shambles. #WestminsterAbbey

All these hymns in Latin are ridiculous. Like someone insisting on singing Laung Gawacha in Sanskrit.

No offence to Camilla but I'd have preferred- out of respect- that no one had substituted for mother of the groom at register signing.
