spiritual texts, which i follow, do say that there is a definite way to perform puja of the Vignavinashaka, our friendly neighbourhood Ganesha. but, these spiritual texts never say anything about the procedure of doing visarjana of the same. But, presently, there is a big idol of Ganesha in every street. on the third day, or on the 11 th day or the 21st day, our friendly neighourhood ganesha departs, with lots of baja-bajantri, ruckus, crackers bursting, creating lots of traffic jams, ambulances getting stuck in these jams. Ganesha blesses the one who does puja. but, without putting others in inconvenience, the ganapati pooja is never complete these days.
today, on the 30th of september, 2010, the much awaited Ayodhya Verdict is to be delivered by the Allahabad highcourt. in view of the violent reactions to the ruling, security has been beefed up. offices were closed down at 1330 hrs. the transportation facilities also suffered, because of which, there were many who were stranded outside the -so called - Tech Parks.
while i was waiting for my friends, i had a chance to look around and think. there were people with cars who were dropping their colleagues. even the 2 buses which were running, were too crowded to get in. worse than mumbai local. people in formals, i-card on their neck, like a noose were found in luggage vans, travelling to their destinations. when people were asking for lift, a car simply sped away. can ppl be so insensitive ?
anyways, all these ppl stranded were stranded because of whose fault ?
Dear God,
Do walk away Do walk away
the world is burning. my heart is yearning
Do walk away.
