Festivities and Pleasantaries

Its a bit strange when something important is about to happen, things somehow all fall into place. As if somehow it all just has to happen with the least trouble, right from the weather turning pleasant to solutions being found for all the minor glitches that crop up.

Today while some of us started the holy month of Ramadan with their daily fasting, some like me were totally immersed in celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at SAC. It involved a Hawan in the morning and will have an evening Aarti everyday till 27th (when visarjan will occur) at 7.00pm after which prasad will be offered.

A thing that passed my mind as I closely observed all of this, was how all of us who self proclaim themselves as atheist, sin committing individuals are actually the most god fearing individuals, the ones who linger and pray to the higher being, the most when such occasions arises. Not wanting to delve too much on the philosophical side of this, just would want say that people shouldn't do things they may repent later or think they can get off their slate by being sorry about it...

On another completely different note, rumors flying about of another strike tomorrow, no clue whether its teaching or non-teaching. Though I would agree with most of my fellow mates that these strikes help us get " valuable free time".. the only thing I don't like about them is the uncertainty that goes along with them... you never know in advance that they r gonna happen n u still have to wake up early to attend that morning class..
