Diwali The Cracker of a Festival

Diwali The Cracker of a Festival

Yesterday being Diwali, and we had given off to our staff till Sunday, so was all alone at home. As my friends had their showrooms open, I was the only one idle, so me and wife had a nice honeymoon at home, where else, and fate had it that my daughter too went to Mumbai yesterday.so it was a quiet Thursday.

Having nothing to do, I put on the TV, and really enjoyed my new 50” Samsung TV for the first time, (Don’t worry this is not ad for Samsung and they have not paid me anything ) watching Dabang, and Bodyguard, both Salman movies, and enjoying them, till the neighbours decide to play spoilsport by bursting ear bursting crackers, which go on for 15 minutes at a stretch, breaking eardrums and patience of even the most patient person like me.

Today morning I saw some pieces of firworks on my car, parket outside my home. A piece must have come flying, but my car being the 2 decade old Esteem, I was at ease. Imagine what if I had a 20 lakh car parked there eh ! I COULD HAVE GOT A HEART ATTACK EH ! And my neighbours all park their cars outside my house, all top of the line cars, because the entrance to their homes after my house is a narrow lane. So they screw up my parking.

Any one else in my place would have put a live cracker on their expensive car to teach them a lesson.

And I was wishing that either the crackers stop, or I could close my ears to the noise. Here my oft repeated invention would have come in great use, the earplugs which have the power to block off the noise, and a chip inside playing yr choice of recorded music or bhajans.

How much peace there would be in this world , if u are able to filter what u want to hear . For a DIL, when the MIL starts an unpleasant dialogue, she presses the button which makes the plugs close yr ears, and how funny would the MIL appear, just moving her lips and angrily gesturing towards u ? And of course the reverse too.HAHA

And during diwali , u block out the crackers, during Ganesh Chaturti in Maharashtra, the music, at airports the noise of the people, where u can shut out the announcements of the loudspeakers, and instead set a buzzer on yr mobile to wake u up in time for yr flight.

Hearing is good, the sweetest sounds are of yr child cooing, yr sweatheart saying lovely things to u, but then, the bad parts are there too. This is for the bad part, and I am sure every person in this world would need one, sorry many more, u leave one at office, one at home, one for the way to work and so on.

Selling at say 500 a pair, matching colour to yr ear colour, wireless, with a small remote to switch on and off, and with a profit of 100 bucks, and with 500 crore population of this earth buying a few pieces each, can u imagine a person can become mure rich than Bill gates !!!!

Ah , for this invention, and the sounds of Silence. I miss silence.

Wishing all my friends a Happy Diwali, minus the crackers, and good health and wealth.

PREDICTION

Regarding the Maharashtra Elections

I predict, BJP making the government with the independents and breakaways from all other parties, bypassing the anti defection laws.

The sweet deal they will give the defectors is this.

The 12 indepenents, will be given 1 heavy ministru and one light, and told to share the spoils, and also the same to other chaps.

This way even if Sharad pawar’s men come on board, Modi can say, the leader may be bad, but not his ministers, and get away with it !!!!

And Shiv sena has been without power for 15 years, so 5 years more wont make much difference to them. And who knows some Shiv Saniks break away and support BJP, for the spoils of election are at the BJP end, not with Shiv Sena.

That is my prediction, this Sunday , 1.15 pm, 24^th Oct 14.

Who knows I become as famous as the Dead liquorman, sorry I mean Bejan Daruwalla, or Nirmal Baba,

HAHA
