Why PoP Ganesha idols?

This is not a tarle story.

Posting this in public interest.

How magnificiently we celebrate Ganesha festival! We bring home Ganesha idols, worship, and then do the visarjan.
Some bring some small clay Ganesha Idols and some bring big one . Usually Sarvajanik Ganapathis are the big ones. These idols' size vary from 4-15 feet.

Ever wondered, what happens to these idols after their immersion or the Visarjan?

They melt right?

I too had the same thought.

We are wrong friends. Only the small clay idols melt. The bigger one are made of Plaster-Of-Paris (PoP). The same material which is used to dress up a bone fracture. This PoP doesn't dissolve in water, They are brittle. They only break.

Now, think what might be the condition of the PoP idols which were immersed in tanks, ponds, lakes etc..


I was passing by the Sanky tank. I thought of spending some time there.
Some people were cleaning the Idol immersion tank there.
I was very unfortunate to see the condition there.
This is what I saw.

These are PoP idols with broken head, broken hands, legs, fingers. 7-10 men struggling to get it out of the tank.

What next? They'll take this and dump it somewhere else.

Why??

Why such big statues? Why PoP idols? Why are we hurting our own sentiments?

Feels sorry to post this. But I had to post to create an awareness. 

Let us stop using PoP idols. Let's save the environment. And above all, Let's respect our God.

The world is beautiful..... Norway.... Land of midnight sun..

What we studied since our school days was, THE SUN RISES IN THE EAST AND SETS IN THE WEST. THE SUN IS VISIBLE FOR ABOUT 12 HOURS IN A DAY. Did you'll know there are some places on earth where the sun never sets. Its stays for all 24 hours of the day. Norway is one such country. It is also called as land of mid night sun. The pic shows the movement of sun in this country. Yes the world is beautiful!

Google India - Legal battle

Hi friends.... Posting after many months.... This thing happened today... So thought of posting it...

It was a tiring day at college. I just threw my bag on the floor, switched on the fan and sat on my chair. I took out my cell phone to check if there were any messages. There were no messages, so i logged into my facebook account. One update from my friend read "GOOGLE SEARCH u r so stupid - posted a day ago". My classmate Sakshi (name changed) had posted it. I thought of playing a prank with her. I took out my another cell phone and messaged her. Most of my friends don't have that cell number.

Me: Good evening, Miss Sakshi Gupta.
We are messaging from Google India. We just read your www.facebook.com status update. We want an explaination from you regarding your update. Please co operate with us. Else this may lead to legal battle.
Thank you,
Google India.

That looked like a corporate SMS.
But for over 20 minutes I didn't receive any message. It was 8:49 when my cell phone beeped. Beeped non-stop 4-times.

Sakshi: [msg1] U din hav proper information on line balancing.... Which i required.... I wanted problems on it.... Bt wasnt there....

[msg2] Wat do u mean by legal battle ? And how r u and facebook linked ?

[msg3] Sorry.... If it hurted ur company....

[msg4] I really appologise to u... For the statement.... Please dont make it a legal battle.... Please accept my apology..

I answered all her questions in the next message.

Me: Dear Miss Sakshi,

1. We got your mobile number from TRAI. We've also traced your address. It has
been located as Vasanth Nagar Area, Bangalore, Karnataka.

2. We keep an eye on www.facebook.com updates also. So that we can react to misleading comments made on our company.

3. Google search is just a search engine. It is not responsible for the availability or accuracy of the content.

4. Legal battle - If valid reasons are not given, we have the authority to sue you.

Thank you.

This time she was so scared that she took over 25mins to reply. Most probably she was speaking to her friends about it..

Sakshi: Srrrrrrryyyyyy please dont do anything....

I thought of giving her some relief.

Me: Hello Miss Sakshi.

1. Though the reason given by you was not satisfactory, considering you to be a student, we have decided to drop the idea of filing a legal suit against you.

2. We also want you to ask a public apology on google as soon as possible.

Thank you.
Google India.

She replied immedietly

Sakshii: I hav sent a apology statement on facebook...

I just logged into facebook again to check it. But i was shocked to see, her profile missing. She had deactivated her account.

Then I told her that it was me.
