Lunacy at its Peak...

The other day I was doing a marathon of this new TV show Zoo. It is based on the sci-fi book by the same name written by James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge; wherein animals try to rid the earth off the most dangerous threat -- Humans... Obviously dog lovers die fairly quickly because you know they have dogs and animals are killing humans now... Duh!!!

Though I cannot imagine even in my worst nightmare that my babies would ever turn on me, I'd think we as a human race in general have lost the humane touch and have become the big bad predator that we were afraid of an eternity ago. 

I'd say the way in which we are hurting nature and its children, either the planet will self-destruct soon or may be... just may be... a total annihilation of human race might just rebuild the planet. And I wouldn't even feel bad dying for the cause.

Color me Black and call me Practical..

Ganpati is coming!!! While it is a cause of joy for many, some of us find it disturbing. Not for the fact that it is Ganesh Chaturthi, but for the immense traffic issues, loud noises, increased pollution level and wastage of money. Puja, meditation, self-cleansing is excellent, however, is it necessary to invest so much money in building larger than life effigies that would ultimately go in our already dirty water bodies at the end of 11 days.

We are faced with so much of natural and man-made disasters that these funds can be directed towards helping those are affected and in needs to basically SURVIVE… That being the first point, which God would like to come and stay with you if you cause so much noise pollution with a huge band party, god forsaken fire crackers and loudspeakers screaming the latest item numbers in vogue. I honestly doubt that Lord Ganesha would like to know if Mary is sau takka teri or not… Gods must be crazy to arrive and stay at such a place and that too for 11 days.

I am a proud Hindu and as a part of my tradition worshiping the Gods come naturally. 

However, I believe that just because we built huge idols to celebrate Ganpati, Durga Puja, Kali Puja and others in the yesteryears, we should continue doing it now.  It seems to me that nowadays more than the actual devotion, the pompous show has gotten the upper hand.

Times are changing and we need to be more careful towards our planet now. I may sound like a lunatic here but we are torturing Earth so much that there will come a time when we will not have a planet to live in.

In simple words, I am not bitter towards any religion’s beliefs; it is the redundant grandiose I am against…
