FESTIVAL OR BUSINESS?
Hindu religion is the
religion of various beliefs and myths!
The Hindus have various
idols and deities to worship.
In today's era I donot know
how many of us -
worship out of passion?
but I must say,nowadays
I have seen the widescale commmercialisation
related to this religion!
We say that Lord Vishwakarma
is the Lord of industries and engineers.
Hence being the resident of the
emerging industrial belt of Bengal
I have seen the craze
among people to celebrate
this festival.
On the 'D' day while the sound boxes
are shouting at the top of their voices
with rocking music-
the traffic polices are standing
at every nooks and crannies
of the street.
They are catching hold of the motor -bike
riders at random,demanding fifty rupees
(with or without reason)at minimum!
The rest of the year they maintain
the traffic decorum
at their homes!
And accidents occur
under one's nose
The pubs earn the maximum
profit these days-
Shouldn't the government make this day
"A DRY DAY"?
The decorators, the pubs
the traffic police must be
waiting with all their lives
for these days to come!
