I admit I gaped when I read this.
In what is a new level of pretension, you can now hire guests for weddings, engagements and the like.
The next must be hiring a family when you feel like it.

About me
- I'm Echo/Lavanya
- From Chennai, India
- So, we are curious now? My folks named me Lavanya, and it does have a meaning. I named myself Echo, for this blog. And that has a meaning too. Therefore, I have more than one name; I can walk; I can talk; I can read; I can even write; I can count - 9 'I's already and that is absolutely disgusting; I can also lie about numbers. Do you need to hear more?

A wedding involving anyone more than than the bride & groom and their immediate kins is already artificial, now this rent business...oh God...where are we taking this world!

:) Somehow the whole rent idea takes artificiality to a new level.

Politicians already practice this very much. Any grand political meeting in some remote villages, the local 'operators' of the political parties would ferry people from neighboring villages to 'show off' their might and prowess.
I would put this way -- unless the group is self motivated and gets together, it does not work. The get to together must be a self-initiated solidarity of the people themselves, rather than being induced by a third party.
