Gratest Devotees

I had an hour break between my back to back movies on Sautrday, so I went around for a walk, huge crowd was moving on streets, with curiosity I went there, few people carrying God’s idol on their heads, thin metal lords pierced through lips and hooks pierced into their body including head. I was a terrible incident for me and I also started following them. After some time I was curious to know whether those people will get pain or not? So I went to one woman who seems to be like a mother of one among those greatest devotees, I started pouring all my queries to her, she was telling that this is a Tipusam festival celebrated on the occasion of lord Murugan birthday, when I asked don’t they get pain while doing so, she replied “ they do fasting for lot of days and all precautions are taken before doing so”… so many stupid questions, she replied with lot of patience, when I observed the people who ever carrying those idols, they are too tired, swelling and bleeding, people around them are singing songs so that Murugesan gives lot of energy to them to carry his idol. I asked her will you take these people to hospital after this, her answer is no, will your Murugesan come and save these people , will these people live for 200 years for doing so, then a serious look at me.

Am I mad to ask all those questions to the greatest devotes, if I was in India someone should have beat me, I calculated all that risk before asking :-). One thing is very sure all those people doing all that stuff for their personal or family well being, do they have to beg some unknown person with that much pain for selfish acts, isn’t it possible to gain the same with much less effort than what they are doing?? Will God really apprciate this kind of acts?? Who is right, am I unable to see what ever they are seeing?? Is it my indifference??

While playing badminton my team mate hit badly on my finger accidentally, he was apologizing me so many times though the pain not even one millionth of those devotes pain, quite possible that those devotees also can’t bear small pain caused by their friends, expect to apologize but how can they bear so much pain for an unknown and unseen person.??? What is this...., some one please come and enlighten my brain.. Murugesan at least you give me some real knowledge……thoughts going on… I may find an answer when I go deep into this..


Friday night watched Mr honest Ram Gopal varma’s movie RANN with friends, though it was a good movie but his blog is more entertaining than his movie. After movie, conversation with friends in a bar till late night, little bit sleep, Saturday morning badminton for three hours, then back to back a telugu movie Namo venkatesha and a hindi movie 3 idiots alone, nostalgic feeling while watching 3 idiots as I can correlate so many things in that movie, again some sleep, Sunday morning some paper work which needs to be finished, few hours in office, badminton for three hours, long calls with family. Very hectic and fully utilized weekend, I wish I could have 48 hours in a day.


Will be going to office by cycle from tomorrow onwards , office moved nearer to my living place ..lot of time saving in travel, going to have great time while riding my cycle to office.
