Monotony of Life..

Monotous, Everything seems to get monotonous. Human mind craves to do something, not for a very long time. The monotony, the same routine, the usual lifestyle gets to you at times.

Monotony defines the way one's going to live his next day. There is no sense of eagerness, every question seems to have an answer, there ceases to exist any reason for expectance. With everything one does, at every phase of life there's this stretch of time when your routine of life gets static. The everyday life seems to be defined by a set of paramters, the mornings, the days, the evenings, the nights all have a schedule which is hard to get out of.

The conventions of life force's one to stick to a systematized way of living. 'Same is boring', I had read somewhere but is there a way out? The stark reality is everyone is bound to live a monotonous stretch. There is no escaping out of it. Even the satisfied man who does what he really likes to gets tired of doing it when he's forced to, to live.

Somethings are impossible and getting away from the monotony of life is one of them.

Durga Maa..

Festive season yet again.. In a so-to-be secular country of ours, its festive season all round the year but if one s in the northern region of our country this time of the year is the most celebrated. With Rama killing Ravana, preparing to get back from the exile and Durga being honoured the capital city is full of thrills.
It's been a while I ve seen Delhi celebrate these occasions, 3yrs of college kept me away. It was after school days I visited the pandals of CR park, the bengali dominated residential area in the city, to see the grand idols of Durga. I was awe-struck as the yrs before, apart from the idols getting more decorated and growing bigger there was not much of a change. Ofcourse the mulla spent would ve quadrupled to arrange such a big show. Only if Durga would be pleased proportionally to the money spent, CR park would be Heaven on Earth.
After the grand nine days of prayers, celebrations and joy the idols would be floated in the holy waters of Yamuna. Holy or not, m not sure but filthy( in the literal sense) for sure. The Yamuna and Ganga would curse their holistic existence, keeping in mind the amount they are polluted every day on that account. The huge idols with the holy powders smashed all over them definitely help increase the level of the river bed if not shower blessings. No offence to the traditions of a particular clan, all ancient traditions of every clan in our country are no better. If all the money floated in a river or burnt to celebrate the festival of light could be used to uplift the not-so-blessed sections of the society the economic gap in our country would be far less.

God Bless.. MAHATMA

A monday off is possibly the best thing one can think of after a heavy week. 'Monday off' does not only grant one a long weekend but also lets one contemplate the short 4 day week ahead. Hail Mahatma for this awesome day, or should i thank Karamchand Gandhi and Putlibai??
