Today I went for a
‘chawdi pooja’ in one of our relatives coffee farm where the pig
is offered to the deity and all the invited relatives and neighbors
happily chop the pig into pieces. Later they offer the delicious meat
recipe and liqueur to the so goddess. For me at least all that seems
like a drama, because god never gets satisfied with your liqueur or
meat, all that is for the people alone, done in the name of divine.
Being in these events one can experience the great amount of negative
energy radiating around the people. Most of the times we get
negatively influenced by them.
I want to write this particular thing in my blog so that I will remember it. One of our uncle to whom I initially had a great respect was already standing at the venue saw me coming. I was very humbly and happily approached him and greeted. But the same did not came from him “hey I heard you have come back whats wrong” he questioned, instead of at least saying Hi. “of course yes I have been outside for more than 15 years 10 in mangalore as a student then in bangalore now I feel like to be in my home with my parents” I said. But he did not satisfied “oh! you came back to look after your estate is it?” and he smiled with a quip. Well I am not an estate owner I don't inherit one but a small holder which I need not tell him as he was already aware of that. “why you came from Dubai? The same reason I am back (I meant the affection towards ones birth place & my father is ill but he never understood)”. “At least I made lot of money. How much did you make? Can you make so much” I got frustrated because even if I have abundance I wouldn't be giving him. And bothering about others!!! that is none of his business rather that was the mixture of his greed and jealousy.
I met some of these kind of people and keep meeting in the future. Who criticize for being essentialist and self satisfied. “You struggled to qualify as an engineer, but I make the money just like that what good is your education” and they laugh. Whom should I say about the passion and the interest in the subject. Majority of the people in the world is just like my uncle. I think I can not and need not change them. Even if I try its not worth rather I decided to change my self. The next time I meet him I will show what an educated can do over an idiot. And I want to show him the real wealth! Let this post be a reminder.
