Meri Maan Aur Unke Bhagvaan!!!

Spending days at home can be fun especially the food and the sleep part. But sometimes you also are expected to live like a normal human being. After being in a hostel for 4 years I think all of us stray away from a normal lifestyle in many aspects and I am no exception. So the latest buzz at home is "Beta,tu mandir kyon nahin jaata?"
Now I would have had no problems if I was asked to do this once in a fortnight or so but no its like all the weekdays are dedicated to some God. Here is a small list that my mom follows and mind u thats only for one part of India which is a very small part of this world.Ok here goes the list!!
Monday - Shivaji
Tuesday- Hanumanji
Wednesday - Ganpathiji
Thursday - Peer Baba
Friday - Santoshi Maan ( I dont get to eat anything khatta on this day)
Now thats just for my mom. Wonder if I add and expand this to India itself I am sure the weekends would get occupied too. Well with full due respect I am not here to question any one beliefs and I fully respect them. I sometimes try to find a logic to this though in vain. I think more than anything its the satisfaction and peace that we get that we have done something good and now that may counteract the evil. One logic that has always eluded me is people say everything is predecided,its written in destiny.Then if it is so then why do we pray or wish for something extra when its already decided. Dont know...I know many would disagree with me on this sensitive issue but I really think their is lot of formality hidden in these aspects too. I am not an agnostic at all though dont pray or worship much. In my life till now even I have experienced that their is a superpower that has saved me and things have turned around and its only this that has led me to believe it to some extent. But at the same time when I see the plight of many , those small childrens asking for alms , those lame and amputated people,those sweet kids who die without a fault of their own I wonder and question it again. People even find a logic to that,they would have done something bad in their previous birth. Aahhhh.....too much

Thats enough for this first article as I hear my mom shouting again. Go and have a haircut,navratris are starting from tomorrow and their is some belief that one should not have a haircut in Navratris!!!

Oh My God!!!!!!!!!!!!!
