            Bhishma Kukreti published humorous ‘Aiskeemyau Byau’ write up in Garh Aina (16/5/1990) under the column ‘Inai-Unai’.  The incident is a true incident that famous poet Surendra singh Chauhan or Chinmay Saya came to Mumbai for attending a marriage. He called the marriage of Mumbai as Ice cremyau  Bayu or marriage only for ice cream.  Sayar did not enjoy the marriage style of Mumbai.

   Bhishma Kukreti showed the difference of marriages of rural Garhwal of his childhood and contemporary marriage style in Mumbai. Humorously, Kukreti shows the differences of rural and metro marriages for each activity of marriage. Since, the marriage style in Mumbai is not because the people are happy to adopt that style but circumstances of Mumbai are such that they can’t follow the style of rural marriages.

अहा जब मि छ्वटु छौ त ब्यौली पैटदि छै त सरा वातावरण मा कळकळी होंदी थै . जै जै तै रूण निआन्द थौ वी बि जबरदस्ती आँख मिंडदा छा कि रुवै जावो, निथर आँख लाल इ ह्व़े जावन, या थूकलगैक I रुण आउ .. ब्योला क तार्फांक पौण बुल्दा छा कि ब्योली से इथगा इ प्रेम च त चलो तुम तै बिहैंक ड्वाला मा ली जांदा.

इख जब ब्योली अर ब्योला घौर बौड़ाइ करदन त बीस से मथि लोग हौल मा नि होन्दन. ब्योली क रूणधूण नि होंद
