Festival season is on its full bloom. Festivals are the only times (family functions excluded) that we have the (mis) fortune of meeting creatures called 'relatives'. With the human ' race' going on continuously, we are deprived of the getting more acquainted with the relatives.
After the preliminary curtsying they delve straight into selling their latest pursuits, whatever they be. ' Oh .. you know this Ramdev baba things really good. They really work. I, toh, get up very early in the morning to do his yoga. Even his daliya works. Whats this ??? No, no , I eat only lauki ki sabzi.' And all this time, you are saying 'Ahh .. hmmn .. good for you'. Major oops. Relative jumps on you saying 'Good for you ??? No. Its good for you too. Beta you should really do this. And also drink karele ka juice'. You try to get rid of them by agreeing with them. But they can see past you. ' Trying to get rid of me ... Are you ???'. Had you disagreed with them, they would have give every argument possible under this Sun and more to convince you otherwise.
There is no getting rid of them. They are omnipresent in some form or other. No need to condemn them to hell. They have been there and back. So all I can say to you is go out there and face them as bravely as you can and when you loose remember that you fought and you fought bravely. Happy Diwali.
