I woke up this morning hardly realising that its eid along with gandhijayanti. My roomie had left for eid ka namaj and my other roomie had left for his cricket match and I slept a little more when I remembered that there are no internal exam, no project briefing , even no jamming session planned, after a long time I actually had a day off. Saroj, my roomie returned disappointed that his match was canceled because of some function being held on the cricket ground for gandhijayanti, which of course is a good thing, sure we should celebrate gandhijayanti. But why does it end there, why only one day to think about the mahatma, that too only to participate in a debate competition.
Why there are these days, birth days, don't you have a whole life time to cherish life then why wait for your birth day to do some good work, why wait for someone's birthday to give them a present. Fathers' day, mothers' day... why not start your day with their name, what's wrong with keeping their picture in your wallet along with your girlfriend's. Of course that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be celebrating these days but what about there significance, they are just reminders of their purpose to be cherished any day, everyday, instead they have become cliched traditions which are there, just for the heck of it...
On a lighter note, in the last one month I've been busy in so many stupid things that I've lost touch with some of my closest friends and this Dussera I'll try my best to normalize everything... so wishing you a very happy Dussera
Peace\/
