Pot-bellied And A Jumbo Nozzle Right At Its Place ! Winning Hearts Since Its Inception From 1893 ! This Bloke Has Gone Beyond The Ideology Of Hindu Followers...And Is Now A Celebrated Figure All Over The World ! " Lord Ganesha " This Is How We Know Him ! Uber-Cool, Well-Favoured, Happy-Go-Lucky This Is What We Conceived Of Him During Our Fairy-Tale Session With Our Family Members ! From A Small Family Affair During The Peshwa Rule To A Gargantuan All Country Affair....Surely “Brand Ganesha” Is On A Rise ! From Toys, T-Shirt Designs To Booze .... Its “ Lord Ganesha “ All Over !
But, Ever Wondered... We Always Worship Those Figures Who Never In Their Damn Career Ever Prepared A Curriculum Vitae ( CV ). Just Take The Case Of “ Lord Ganesha “. He Never Rammed His Grey Cells Into Any Of The Books By H.C.Verma Or “Resnik & Halliday”. He Never Queued Up In Front Of Any SBI Counter To Purchase A IIT-JEE, AIEEE, AIPMT, CAT, XAT Or Any Other “ Dare To Think Beyond IIM’s “ Institute Brochure. He Never Hit The Books By Kreyszig, P.N.Rao, De-Houst Or Amitabh Ghosh. He Never Used An “Xerox” Machine, Never Been On A Night-Out, Never Had A Grade-Sheet Or Subsequently Any Backlog. Never Ever He Surfaced In A Land Of Lopsided Sex-Ratio. He Never Had To Cerebrate Over Placement Or In-Hand Package. One Particular Thing He Might Be Begrudging Everyone Of Us Is That He Always Missed The Post-Placement Booze Party ( Kingfisher, Carlsberg, Haywards 5000 And Name A Few....Followed By Narking Roleplay ) [ :P ]. But “ Lord Ganesha “ Is Not The Only One. “ Lalu Prashad Yadav”, “ Sachin Tendulkar “ And Many More Names Have Already Made Their Journey Into The History. L.P.Yadav Made His Way Into The Dias Of Harvard Business School Whose Wesbite I Have Never Dared To Click Till Now. Why So-Called-Intelligent People Always Worship The So-Called-Unintelligent People ?
May Be The Answers Lies In The “ Albert Einstein “ Verbatim “ Imagination Is More Powerful Than Knowledge “. True! All These Aforementioned Guys Saw A Different World Through Their Eyes. They All Believed In Creativity, Imagination Rather Than In A Mere Rote-Learning Process. They Never Cared For Any Grade-Sheet, What They Cared For Was An Accomplishment Of Their Goals. We Too Are Not To Be Blamed For This Fiasco. Our System Surely Has To Be. Our Education System Demands Are Such , That From Day 1 In Our Nursery Schools, We Were Annealed, Quenched And Were Pre-Heated In A Hypothetical Rote-Learning Chamber To Bend Ourselves To The Demands Of The Society. Somewhere Down The Line Our Intrinsic “ Creativity “ Genes Were Lost To Such An Adverse Conditions. And Those Who Retained Those Specific Genes And Defied Every Other Possible Red-ox Reactions Are Now Making The Headlines Over Page 1. Examples Like Vinod Dham.
Anyways Now I Realised That I Spent Almost An Hour Writing Against My Fav “ Lord Ganesha “. Citing Every Possible Examples To Malign Him. Though This Was Not Intended. I Hope “ Lord Ganesha “ Is Listening To This And Reading Too ( If By Any Chance He Joined FB ). Dear Lord Bless Me By Clicking The “ Like “ Link !
Everyone Hail “ Lord Ganesha” !
