There has been a lot of interesting news in circulation over the last few days. The real texture of the stories makes me wonder as to whether these happenings are possible only in our country or whether, they can happen anywhere else in the world as these are the general trends of the time. So, here I go!
(a) Digging for gold.
The Archeological Survey of India(ASI) has been excavating for gold in a village of the Unnao district of
Uttar Pradesh. The quantity is over a 1,000 tons as projected in a dream of Swami Shobhan Sarkar.
The alacrity with which the ASI has gone about their job has, more than amusing me, raised a lot of
doubts within which are:-
(i) what should be the basis of such projects in embarkation of the 'truth'? Can an individual's -
however pure or divine he or she might be - dream/inner call alone be the basis of frenetic
activity? I'm sure that the authorities have valid reasons.
(ii) how long is the excavation work gonna continue? Shouldn't every project have a starting
and a finishing point?
(iii) suppose the treasure is ultimately found, what would be the Swami's consultation fees be -
no, I ain't mocking but couldn't find a more appropriate term to explain the phenomenon?
(b) Mothers are for disposal.
Take the curious case of a 90 year old lady who was brought by her near and dear ones - can such
creeps really ever be dear, I wonder - for a pilgrimage to Guruvayur the other day. She was left to
pray at the sanctum sanctorum of the temple while they scooted from the spot!
My take.
(i) They must have also had the 'darshan' of their deity and must have prayed for something for
themselves. The god would have definitely been perplexed to see their audacity to seek for
favours despite their act of wickedness!
(ii) The old lady has been sheltered by an NGO, which is into the business of providing hope and
succour for hapless people like her.
(iii) She should refuse to rejoin her relatives who're bound to return - especially after the media
coverage that's been extensive - repenting their mistake or some such story to cover their mistake.
Tailpiece.
It surely is a strange world. Events, unimaginable, are taking place. My grandmother would have called it as the evils of the 'kaliyug', that we're passing through.
