Dusshera

I didn't plan to chip in back to back posts, but one thing led to another and it was worth every effort of mine to come back on my blog.


Neways, Happy Dusshera !! N Dusshera infact is supposed to be very eventful thing in India. I was very much part of this " event " myself back in the days. Back in the days, I no, sounds a bit stereotype ( isn't it ? ). Back in the days, ya !! back when i was uhh, i certainly cannot say " when i was much shorter " but ya, what i can say is," when i was a bit fat ". Few years ago, even i used to jump of my feet honestly, with a idea of going to a dussehra mela. With friends to catch up, play hide seek, or buy a gada or teer kamaan, n lets be honest, the focal reason was that i got legit free time to play with NO STUDIESS ...!! I was as happy as uncle Scruge was when swimming in his treasure chest.

Now, times have changed. Things like watching a ravan full of crackers dont actually seem to fill in the amount of joy ( or i shud say any ) it used to. I was just pushed over to go along with my parents who didn't actually had this planned earlier. It was my mum who wanted to go to fill in for the festive void on a festival. Though i just went there for hardly 10 min n just stood there reminiscing the days when i was the one who dragged my mum dad to go there tried to figure out gods knows what i got excited about back then.

And, honestly, nothing has changed. It's been like 7-8 yrs since i went to any mela of this sort, but really, nothing has changed a bit. Only i guess, people with more luxuries don't prefer to go and this mela thing has become an middle class afair. But as i said, nothing has changed. The people still have that, excitement in their eyes, just to get a glimpse of what they have been watching it from the day they came to know who are Ram and Ramvan. Its something very reflexive i shud say of our people. Like if you push a man into a chocolate store, no matter what his age is, he's sure in for a nice time.
Its that kinds i mean. Hundreds or i should say thousands lined up just to get a peek , of whats happening there. Well, if there's nothing happening, still they'll wrestle for the place anyways :-) .

I'll be honest myself, if i see a ravan burning, it just leaves you happy ( Even if you deny the fact !! ). Reason which i don't even know. I didn't see the ravan burning today, but i no that feeling which has long been indebted to our brain's cache memory. And its something which we'll continue to do i think. Its not that we really want to have a look, but the whole scene of Ram ji firing an arrow and making ravan burn, leaves something in you which is more perplexed than this word itself .
Well, not for those who were not a fan of Ramayan or didn't play with gada's in childhood. Shame on you !!
