There is a lot of hue and cry these days
about
the rights on public spaces
can’t
understand why private citizens
insist
that their merry making
be
done in public, that too on public roads!
Why
not the merry making
in
the privacy of a resort or one’s residence…
why
should boys have all the fun?
appears
a legitimate query
but
then, both boys and girls
can
have their fun in private rather than public
The
same thing goes for religious celebrations
why
not connect to your God one to one
in
your homes or in places of worship?
why
insist on public processions on public roads
that
give opportunities to the antisocial
to
throw stones, to the manipulators
to
sow discord among communities?
Fun
and religion in private places
Instead
of public spaces
So
that society, read the ‘Aam Aadmi’
is
not inconvenienced….
Something
to ponder, to consider?
some
food for thought...?
I so so agree with you. And how I wish loud music late at night was not a part of the celebrations!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mridula.yes loud music can also be a problem.
DeleteIt holds true for any time of the day; the effect is more pronounced at night. Fortunately, nowadays they stop it by midnight, but not out of compassion, instead due to law.
