I am a spiritual person & religion has never bound me to visit temple regularly or follow anything compulsory. As I walked down the lane I was mesmerised by the beautiful idols of MAA SARASAWTI.MAA SARAWATI is the symbol of wisdom & excellence.The most demanding goddess among students posing at her best to lure the customers while the idols were laid down on road to get sell by the shopkeepers.
I don't know WHY but my heart urged to buy one for sure.I scanned the whole market & found that each idol seems to hold a magic in itself.I was smiling at the thought that everyday when I wake up I ask to be blessed with wisdom but here the epitome of wisdom were getting sold uncountably;each with its fixed rate ,with lustrous metal costing above 150 & the one made of 'mati' costs below 150.Still people trying hard to bargain the price of wisdom so as to match their budget.Obviously it is the wisest thought at the time of inflation when the sugar rates are touching sky 50 re\kg so why not to get the idol @ 100 and save the rest for sugar. COMPROMISE is all we can do as we are never left with any other option.
These customers making the "wise" cut by judging the best idol deserving to enter their home.A quick learner,I too bought an idol of MAA saraswati @ re 100 which was offered to me @ re 150.Holding the idol made me fell so proud and happy.May be the bargaining offer made me more ecstatic as it is always a"a feel good thing".I held the idol so proudly and carried it with a smile aal my way.As I entered my home,I kept it on the table & started admiring it."The feel good"factor was still there.Then I turned on my TV,along with a smile.A ctually that "feel good"factor overpowered my mind so much so that smile seem too stubborn to get off my face.
As I turned on the TV ,the headlines showing the suicide case of 30 students with in 30 days.The smile went off.
I turned back & looked at the idol of MAA SARASWATI .The students taking up suicide as the wisest solution when wisdom could be brought home at rs 100 only!!!!!!!!!!!!
