Here it goes

India is such a vast country with numerous cultures and their own respective festivals which they celebrate in their own grand way. May because of my inherent prejudice or some facts which I came to know over the past one year made me – a silent person who couldn’t hurt a fly ( tongue in cheek) to become into this – one who puts out his opinions… after reading this there will be some people who disagree and some who agree. For those who agree ( I already know their names as they will be only a handful ) I invite them to join the bashing.. for those who do not agree I would invite them to join the bashing too, as it would provide another view point which we are ready to oppose.

This is regarding an article I read in paper today. If it wasn’t for this article this blog would have never come, so I take this opportunity to thank whoever wrote that article. I have been looking for such a topic for months. Once in a year people eat what we eat throughout the year. For them it is a festival and the meal is a special meal. The article says that in no other culture or festival is such an elaborate meal prepared! My heart goes out to these poor souls. Little did they realize that right across their state boundaries people have these as their lunch everyday of the year. I guess they are really so much good mannered that they don’t even see what the person next to them is eating. It is really sad that even in this modern age where information spreads like fire, there are such ignorant people… :( ohh how sssaaadd ..
…. the author sheds some tears here after witnessing how naïve people are … . :( …. ……………..

let us all maintain a one minute silence to pay homage to these poor souls …..
Oh god, the kind hearted you are , oh benevolent one, inki raksha kar …

“ham bhagvan se prarthana karthe hain”
Om nama shivaya …
Hare Krishna hare Krishna Krishna Krishna hare hare
Hare rama hare rama, rama rama hare hare
Swamiyee saranam aiyappa
Sotram sotram aandavare …
Allah … mein dua kartha huun


now that the bullshit is over lets get down to business … the courage these people have to put up such articles.. to quote one “it is supposed to the most elaborate and grand meal prepared by any civilization or culture in the world.” The article was put up by a person who has been living in chennai for the past ten years. One could only imagine how naïve he was. I am going to visit all the holy places in India starting from rameshwaram, haridwar, kasi etc. We should ramp up these people. What would you suggest? I am looking at starting a channel especially for such unfortunate people, the channel would show what people in India have for their lunch. Ignorance must be abolished. “kaala akshar bhains baraabar” is a famous saying in hindi. I don’t know if the situation matches to the saying but that is the only saying I could remember. Let us celebrate this grand occasion.

Vande maataram.
