Gradually we all are
moving towards digital world the world of Keanu Reeve’s, MATRIX. Finally I succumbed
to temptation and joined the bandwagon of mobile users who bow before the
mobile God, touch its feet gently with fingers, sometimes flicking away, some
do it every five minutes, some do it every hour, 'Shardaloo Bhagts' have such intense ‘Bhakti Bhav’.
The mobile God responds and works according to its level of smartness. If
blessed by Surya Devta, it throws light in form of torch. Saraswati Devi is ‘brajman’
in form of Google Search. Laxmi is there as banking apps. You see ‘Apsaras’
dancing at flick of your figure, great ‘sangeetkars’ responding
immediately to your wish. These are just very few examples, it will be
challenging to attach one God to each function of M-God, in spite of Hindus
having more the 108 lakhs deities. Such is the range and reach of M-God.
My ‘shastang pranam’ to M- God.
So, I have become very poise and god fearing, ‘shardaloo’
and ‘Bhagwan Bhagt’. Last thing I do before closing my eyes at night is
to put M-God to sleep, like our Dadi used to put ‘Granth Sahib’ to sleep. My
morning starts with opening the window on M-God to say Good morning to
the world. I am getting to higher levels towards ‘Nirvana by M-God’ so
much that my hands are responding on its own to touch M-Gods feet, every half
an hour.
But I am yet to create hailing and worshiping phrase. For
example, just by uttering this phase ‘Jai Mata Di’ or ‘Jai Bhoole Nath’ Devi ‘Bhagts’ or Shanker ‘Bhagts’
spirit sours high, we need to create one
‘Jai - ho’ for M-God.
A photo shoot by Glax of Kabir turned into a great drama. He
click some superlative picture. Still the editing, color correction is going
on. Initial response was WOW, in very big way from immediate family who were
allowed the preview. Just as I stepped in office, Lali said in his grim voice,
‘Why have you put Kabirs picture on whatadd? ‘Nazar Laghi Vendas’. I
know you people will not listen to me.’ Kashyap – Glax had small shooting assignment
in Mumbai, they had planned to go in morning. But when Glax saw Kabir vomiting
and having loose motion, he strongly rejected Mumbai trip.
By evening poor guy was highly dehydrated and weak.
Mummy also keeps having loose motion problem, this restricts her activity to places which have close access to loo. But still she managed to come with us to D’Mart for groceries shopping.
She has a very good company in form of Ratna aunty. They both chat along merrily, recalling past experiences, sharing past wisdom with new generation and enjoying golden hours.
Doctor Dumbre of Ruby clinic on her routine visit, gave a clean chit to mum expect for 5 days course to bring her tummy on heel, so that she can continue eating ‘Varsha Bhel’, this made my week.
