Kapil was back from his annual leave and was resting in his room. He was tired and a bit unwell after his hectic travel. (knock at the door) Hey Kapil! “Got to know you are back, so came to see you”, said Kartik his younger brother. How was your holiday? Hope you had a great Birthday. I keep thinking how do you enjoy going to the same place every year. “It was good”, said Kapil. “You don’t look so well, what happened”? asked Kartik. Well, nothing new its the same old thing. It started off well, a warm welcome, music, great food. They took care of me royally and my diet too. Ten days of royal treatment! The last day is the day I dread or should I say I have been dreading for years now. Every year I go with a hope to see a change but get disappointed. (Kartik getting annoyed) -Why do you have to go every year, when they can’t keep up the same commitment. “It’s not like that Kartik” said Kapil. They wait for me the whole year and prepare for my visit. I cannot disappoint so many people for a few. That won’t be fair. (Kartik getting furious)-Look at your joints, that swelling hurts. If they love you so much, how could they do this to you. I can see you have a fracture too. (Kapil’s eyes swollen and filled with tears) You are right brother. They wait to see me off but they don’t wait till I’m out of sight. Wish they turned back to see, if I was safe. What happened to me may heal in couple of days but what I saw will remain with me forever and that saddens and angers me the most. “And what is that?” asked Kartik (sounding concerned) After ten days of royal treatment I never expected my farewell to be so dark. Hundreds of thousands had gathered to bid me goodbye. It was emotional both sides. In the midst of the crowd were some who had consumed liquor and were misbehaving with young girls and women. It was shameful for me. I could neither hold my head high nor could I hide myself.
{Yes, Kapil is Ganesha for you, the remover of all obstacles and the giver of unlimited happiness}.
Also, the mother water has been polluted with pop and toxics. She is getting choked with plastic. They don’t realize they will soon be
the reason for their end. They are their own biggest enemy, by not protecting their planet. If they don’t realize soon I will also not be able to help them. “This saddens me the most Karthik”, said Kapil.
