I am very excited today. Why shouldn’t I be?
I have received the invite to be the guest of honour.
They have been eagerly waiting for me for the past one year.
They have made magnificent preparations for my arrival.
I just can’t tell you how happy I will be to finally meet
these good people.
The duration of my stay?
Well! Unfortunately not long as a lot of people are
expecting me. I have a limited timeframe and I don’t want to disappoint any of
them.
But of course! I’ll stay in touch with them forever. For
sure.
What?
Isn’t that implied? I need not explain all the nitty-gritties
to these good people.
Most of them are highly educated. And even if not, then some
rationale is given.
What!!!? You must be
lying!
These people can’t even think of this in their most horrible
of dreams!
You are actually telling me that these good people will
sabotage my vehicle so that I stay with them. What an inane idea?
I don’t believe you. Why? Because we are talking about
perfectly sane not perfectly senile people.
They won’t do that. EVER.
Okay. Just for argument sake, let’s assume that they
actually get involved in the horrendous task.
Then what?
Do they really think I won’t be able to go back if they do
so?
And anybody will actually be willing to visit these people again
if they act in such a despicable manner?
Out of love you say!
That’s the most incredible idea that I have ever heard!
I found this incredible too! After
going through the phases of surprise, shock, anger and disbelief though.
What’s your take? Do you think
it’s an acceptable thing to do?
No. Right?
Then why do we do this to the very deity we revere every
day? Why the Goddess Lakshmi’s mount has to bear the brunt of our pure devotion
or should I say excessive desires. According to a study, of the 30 owl
species recorded from India, 15 have been recorded in the domestic live bird
trade. Sacrificing an innocent creature for some hocus-pocus is
actually a bizarre thing to do
Proof you ask?

What about the Forbes list? I don’t see it dominated by us
Indians only.It’s neither sarcasm nor anger. I am actually feeling
ashamed to be a part of the nation with average literacy rate greater than 70%
and a strong focus on development. Whatever the statistics might manifest, we are
actually regressing to dark ages in this modern era.
In the times of instant messaging, instant riches is the new
fad capturing imagination.
Where is our integrity when we search for the perfect owls
to get the best riches when we are creating such a ruckus about the beef-ban on
the other hand? Leave mature, is it even a sane thing to do?
