Strange BUT True !!
Hey There !!
Wishing All the readers a very Auspicious Ganesh-Utsav !!
Talking about festivals, this is one major Stimulating aspect in every person's life !
Did I mention, Stimulating ! Well, Yes!
Now, Stimulating, in numerous ways.
The First & Foremost would be the Holiday that the peolple are looking forward to. Even after a hectic weeks schedule, you would find employees in the office/housewives/students.....the list goes on... in a bizzare perky mood OR somehow mysteriously their bodies got pumped with an Booster dose of Adrenaline !
Strange BUT True ....
The next Stimulation gained would be Shopping OR the lookout for Offers & Deals; be it Mobiles / laptops / Washing Machines / Sunglasses / Jewellery / .....
The Consumer durable market is on a high !!
The next Stimulant would be 'Holiness'. All of a sudden you would find the one person known for his/her Foul-Mouth is all up & loaded with pious talk !! Strange But True ......
The next Stimulant would be the need to "Show-Off" / Display one's devotion to the All-Mighty !!
The most popular commercial form of this would be the putting up of Pandals & conducting Puja's/Aarti's ! (This is the time for all Audio based companies to promote their sound systems !!)
The entire year goes by & there is not one atom of piousness & it is only on such occassions that a makeshift shrine is put up & you can hear the pujari ranting out mantra's and prayers at the peak of his vocal chords as if the All-Mighty lord is giving an appearance !! The Loudspeakers have no no decibel limit ! At the same time if someone were to have a weekend bash with all the music pumped up, the entire neighbourhood has a decibel limit issue !! Strange But True ........
Strange are the ways of people in the name of Religion. I have no clue as to what do i call it, Hypocricy / Democracy / Contradictory / Exhibitionists OR simply said Delusional !!
If you could put a term to it, Lemme Know ........
