Immersion

I’m sitting on a rock on the sea beach watching the immersion of the Idols of Maa Durga, Just four days ago we were worshiping her with full fun and frolics, with flowers and sweets. Now it is time for her to go back to her heavenly abode, hence the immersion in the sea. Waves reverently envelop her slowly and take him down under the sea. I feel sad.

After one week I’m sitting in the same place. I observe remnants of those beautiful idols washed ashore by the waves. Sea never keeps anything. It returns whatever is offered to it.

Why we are arrogant, stubborn, and hyper

Why do we fight for class, color, cast,e or creed

Why we have become so intolerant

Why we are not compassionate, compatible, and friendly

There are so many whys…

Why for petty things we pull out the dagger

When the end is the same for the king or beggar
