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!
